and I hate teh feeling when the blood rushes back teo the limbs
ewwwwww
Thnx for the info -thought it was poor circulation.... Hate when the feeling starts coming back and you get the OUCH feeling, LOL.Spot said:that feeling isnt the blood coming back. when your arm or leg falls asleep, its usually from pressure on the nerve in that limb. it gets slightly compressed and the nerve impulses get cut off.
if your legs get cold and turn a shade of blue, thats poor circulation.paul_valaru said:I always thought it was because blood wasn't reaching the limb.
then why do my legs always fall asleep, it's damn annoying

have you ever had a back injury or have a bad back? are you diabetic?
paul_valaru said:bad back, yes,
Spot said:there ya go. probably compressing a lumbar nerve root from the way you sit.
diabetics can get nerve damage in the feet and legs, thats why i asked about that.
Spot said:diabetes runs in families. do you get checked?
