Question

Answer 1

I wouldn't jog as much and also get good running shoes at ***** I run too.

Answer 2

It is probably due to the large amount of blood that is pumping thru your legs.  The upper legs have huge muscles in them and the lower legs have smaller muscles, as you are jogging you are circulating lots of blood through your legs and due to gravity the blood is going into your lower legs.  When you finish running the blood wants to return to the heart, in order for the blood in the lower leg to get to the upper leg, it has to get past the knee(a very small area).  Its a lot like squeezing the air out of a balloon, the sensation you are feeling is most likely the blood returning to the heart passing your knee.  Its almost the same principal as when you hand or leg falls asleep.

If you are not feeling any discomfort at any other times during the day, I would not worry about it too much.  If it is really bothering you, I would see a doctor.

I don't think you are running too slow, you are still a new runner(3 months)  you may want to cut back.  It takes a while for the body to adjust to running. 6 to 12 months min.

especially if you were not extremely active before you started running.

Pins and needlesCausesTemporary pins and needles

Temporary pins and needles occur when pressure is applied to the nerves (usually in the arms or legs) in the affected area.

This limits the blood supply to the nerves, which prevents the nerves from sending important signals to the brain.

Chronic pins and needles

Chronic pins and needles are usually a sign of an underlying condition or disease. For example:

Central nervous system disorders, such as stroke, brain tumour, brain abscess, multiple sclerosis, encephalitis, transient ischemic attacks or mini strokes, and transverse myelitis.

Connective tissue diseases, for example rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjogrens syndrome.

Nerve entrapment syndromes, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, and sciatica.

Metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, hypothyroidism.

Cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis.

Peripheral vascular diseases, such as Raynaud's phenomenon.

Neuritis (inflammation of the nerve).

Infections, such as HIV or Lyme disease.

Chronic pins and needles can also be caused by:

toxic substances, such as lead and exposure to radiation,

certain medications such as chemotherapy, HIV medication, and anticonvulsant medications,

malnutrition (when your body is lacking in specific nutrients caused by a poor diet),

vitamin B12 deficiency,

cancer,

direct damage to the nerves by infection or injury, and

alcohol misuse.
