The last few nights I have had the side of my right leg go numb almost like falling asleep when I lay flat on my back in bed. It only happens when I'm laying flat.
Has this happened to anyone else? My BP is a little high but not nearly as high as I've seen it in the past so I don't think it's BP related. I've had my hands go numb before but haven't ever had this in my leg and it's only the side of my right leg.
I hope I don't have some nerve dammage or anything.

I guess it's time to see the Doc.

Any ideas??????

I don't know. I used to have a problem with my limbs going numb on a ECA. You think it may be that?

Not using an ECA or anything like that right now. I thought it might be BP related so I started monitoring my BP daily but it hasn't bee all that high.
I've had some injuries in that leg. I dislocated my right knee 3 times when I was younger playing football and hockey. I hope it's not somthing to do with that. I've had pain in my knees for years now.

You could have a herniated or slipped disc impinging a nerve and not know it ... maybe. I know that I had nerve problems before I had my back surgery ... however I DID know that I had an injury to my back. My pain was also worse when I was laying on my back. Just my .02.

That's possible. I was in a car accedent a few years ago that kept me out of the gym for 18 months. I still have pain when I squat. I guess I'll have to see a doc and find out what's going on.

saturn,
I go knumb myself sometimes too....I figure it's because I weigh so much and when I sleep I curl up, and flip around in so many different positions I figure the weight pinches different nerves here and there....I've awaken many times with my arm, or part of my leg knumb....I just get up, shake it off and march on.....One time I woke up not relizeing my leg was completely knumb, when I jumped out of bed you can guess what happened. All 300lbs landing flat on my grill..........broke my fuckin' nose.
I feel your pain bro!

Ya I get numbness in my hands quite a bit. I suppose it could be the weight but I have weighed more than I do now. I am up to 260 my heaviest was back when I was a yongen at 270.

It may be old age.

Couple things to look at- like hanglo said could be a slipted disc in back- I went to chiro and it fixed my leg numbness and my knee pain- I was all out of wack from squating heavy and liftign heavy in general- a good visit to the chiro could fix the leg and knee.

As for the numbness in hand- I had same problem but my pain also wentto my one shoulder and trap- they found a knot in my scapula and when it was massaged out I felt better for a few weeks.

They said knot in scapula can cause alot of problems- so a massage may help that.

Good luck
