A member asked:
I got up after sitting on my foot for a while. i felt pins-&-needles, tightness, foot red.massaged it, then went away. was it a blood clot in my foot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You sitting on your foot probably caused decreased nerve sensation to the foot due to nerve compression. By moving it you relieved the compression on the nerve and it felt better. A blood clot would have caused swelling pain and discoloration and other problems.
