A member asked:
Having pain and numbness in both legs when fold. difficult to move if sit by folding legs. feels like both legs are paralyzed. why?

Nerves: Sitting cross legged both pinches and stretches nerves. Pretend that nerves are like water hoses, but instead of delivering water they deliver electricity. If you pinch or stretch hoses then less water flows.
