What caused my foot to fall asleep while i was standing around?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Read below: When your foot falls asleep it is usually due to a compressed nerve or a build up of Lactic Acid from muscle overuse. The position that you are standing in can cause pressure on the nerves behind the knee or into the foot to create numbness, especially if you are standing in the same position for a long time.
