Vascular or nerves: Something about that position is compromising your circulation or the nerves to that leg so it could be something in your back or pelvis that is causing this problem. Could be scar tissue or muscle spasm or even some congenital variation in anatomy. If problematic should seek evaluation by a neurologist.

I was kicked in the side of my left knee, but I feel tingling and the feeling that my leg and foot go to sleep. Also when I put ice pack on it (not directly on skin) it feels like a stinging sensation. Could this be a bad tear in my meniscus?
