A member asked:

I often feel problems with blood circulation in my feet if i sit in an awkward position for a minute or two. could this be raynouds phenomenon?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Negative: That is not raynaud's phenomenon. You're simply compressing the superficial nerves causing a brief compression neuropathy - harmless!

I would see a doc.: You might be confusing neuropathy with circulation. Raynaud's is not really a positional problem.....
