The pins and needles part is closest to what it't called in Serbo-Croatian, guess it's the modernized version of what is found in nature. In SH(BS/HR/SR) you'd say "trne mi ruka" which would translate to "my hand is thorning" as in using thorn as a verb.

In Slovenian we say that our hand is ant-y, "mravljinčasta roka" or that we have ants "mravljince mam".
