Hey I just wanted to ask. When I sit down and bend my legs, they go numb. Then when I get up I get a real bad cramp in the back of my left leg. THey are both numb, right and left, although it was just the left foot I damaged. Does this happen to anybody else. I can walk and all but it's strange because my legs are numb. This gets crazier and crazier............

Dont sit,and dont ever, EVER bend your legs... JUST KIDDING!

I get that too.. stiffening, and that feeling of cramping stiffness and tingleing. It passes as I move around though. Seriously though, sitting for long periods of time seem to be an issue for me. Trying getting up more often and see if that helps.

Hey Dayton!
I know how you feel about the leg going numb. Mine never used to do that until January. Then first I found just get a tingling on my knees or heels. Then it got worse and spread to both my legs going numb. And I hate to cross my legs because it hurts them so much. SOOOOOOOO ANNOYING!!!!!!!
