A member asked:

My leg keeps falling asleep. is this from bad circulation?

Most likely not: In the absence of rest pain, numbness of an extremity is usually a nerve related issue and not a vascular one. If your symptoms are intermittent and resolve completely between it not a circulation problem.

Unlikely: The sensation of legs falling asleep is probably unrelated to your circulation.
