delphicdragon Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Today I've noticed that when I stand up after having sat on my legs for a while, my legs seem to go out from under me. This is strange. I've had it happen when my legs have the pins and needles type feeling, but this time there was no pins and needles feeling. That did come later. Do you think I just cut off blood flow and that caused the strange symptoms, or should I be worried and contact my neuro?Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 It sounds like you may have cut off blood flow, especially since you said that the pins and needles sensation came later. If you are sitting for a while, but not sitting on your legs, do your legs go out from under you? Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajw4790 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hi,I agree with Rachel that from what you describe it sounds like you just sat on them too long in an awkward position that restricted blood flow etc. Which then made them numb or hard for you to feel where in space they were, which caused them to give way. Plus, muscles may have not had enough blood. For me I do the same thing quite frequently and then the pins and needles feeling comes later (normally more in a throbbing fashion) as your leg starts to refill with blood. It does not sound worrisome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
