Why when i sit my feet go numb and calfs hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain: Could really be 3 reasons. 1. Nerve compression in you back causing pinching in the sitting position. 2. Could be decreased blood flow when your knees are in the bent position. 3. Compressing the sciatic nerve from the chair.
