Question:

I sat in the same place for a longgg time with my legs crossed plz read?

i sat in the same postition for awhile, i was at church and we were all listening to our teacher give us a [good!] lesson. i'm not sure how long we were sitting there, i know it was def. not over an hour though. so anyways, when i was sitting there i noticed i couldnt move my foot, at all. i was like, um okay... i couldnt do anything about it at the time so i just sat there and listend. well, it came time for everyone to leave, but when i got up, it's like i had NO foot at all, like it wasnt there, i couldnt feel it, i almost fell down on the floor becuase of it! i had to like grab my friends arm to keep from falling completley down.

what happend? why couldnt i feel my foot???

please help.

oh and i think i twisted my ankle too. i of course couldnt feel it at the time becuase it was totally numb, so now i have to go get x-rays.


Answers:

yes this has happened to me! its happened a couple times during lecture or a movie. it's from loss of circulation, blood flow is restricted when you're sitting, especially with your legs crossed...do some stretches when you notice your leg starting to go numb, or before you get up to leave after sitting for a long time. I always try to tighten my leg muscles really hard a couple times when im sitting still to ensure blood flow and keep my legs from going numb
