Tingling sensation in hands, fingers and toes.

There is always something new happening, now it's the tingling in fingers, hand and toes. Ranges from uncomfortable to painful. Makes me pull my hand or leg away like I touched something sharp. Anyone experienced anything like that, any remedies? Doctors don't know what it is. Thanks!
