Metal leg adjusted gives prickly feeling (6)
I believe the answer is:
tingle
'prickly feeling' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'metal leg adjusted' is the wordplay.
'metal' becomes 'tin' (tin is a kind of metal).
'adjusted' indicates anagramming the letters.
'leg' is an anagram of 'gle'.
'tin'+'gle'='TINGLE'
'gives' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for tingle that I've seen before include "Smart" , "Shiver down the spine?" , "Stinging or thrilling sensation" , "Throb" , "Prickling or slightly stinging sensation" .)
