Severe numbness in hands and legs Posted: 05-04-08 10:24am


Whenever I am sitting with my legs folded or bit pressure on my hands, I have severe numbness where there is no sensation at all in that part. Is it anything serious?

The severe numbness you describe is most likely nothing serious. Certain positions of the hands or legs may cause compression on certain peripheral nerves that is manifested with transitory numbness in various body areas depending upon the nerve.
