Why does it hurt when my leg falls asleep?

Discuss with MD: You need to be evaluated the falling asleep for your leg is not normal by itself. If it is because you have pressure on a nerve it can cause a host of sensations including pain while it is "waking up" this is called a neuropraxia. You may have early neuropathy or possible myopathy.
