A member asked:
I usually set down then a little while my leg from my knee and down went to sleep and i had trouble to feel my leg again what could it be?

Nerve : Prolonged sitting on a solid firm seat like a toilet can cause nerve compression and this tingling from the butt down to the legs. Your probably compressing the sacral nerve. I recommend sitting on a soft cushion if your sitting on a firm chair seat.
