See your physician: Numbness and tingling can be due to many reasons including sitting or standing in the same position for a long time, nerve injury, electrolyte abnormalities, vitamin deficiencies, anxiety, etc. See your physician for evaluation. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/paresthesia/paresthesia.htm
