A member asked:
I slept with my left leg in a bad position and woke up to it numb can i get blood clot like that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely the numbness is secondary to a transient compression neuropathy which should rapidly reverse. In absence of pain in limb, especially in calf, unlikely you have acquired a "blood clot", but limb immobilization can be a cause, especially in older folks. See your doctor and discuss your concerns.
