Numb on left ear and side of my head after sleeping on my girls leg.. anything to worry about??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you must: I would expect full sensitivity to return within a few hours. Placing unusual focused pressure on certain areas makes the nerves quit sending location signals. They return when the blood flow returns to normal. Almost everyone has experienced this with a leg falling to sleep from position.
