Everytime i sit down my left leg goes to sleep at the quadriceps. & sharp pain goes down my leg. i had knee surgery before. any possible reasons?

Main concern is: deep venous thrombophlebitis, especially if you underwent recent knee surgery. It could also be pinched nerve. It is best to see your doctor or orthopedic surgeon.
