Question:

What causes a limb to go numb? Is it bad for you?

I was sitting on my leg and my lower leg got so numb that i couldn't even move my foot or toes. I was wondering what causes this. When i sit on my butt, it doens't go numb, I've also noticed with my arms if I sleep on them wrong. What is this?


Answers:

it is just for that period of time your circulation is restricted by the weight your putting on that particular limb. when that pressure is released circulation is restored and sen sensation returns.
