anybody woke up feeling sort of like numbness on one leg and unable to control the strength properly resulting in tendency to fall in the morning? could anybody give any medical explanation or share any experiences? pls help... worry....

Fuiyo. Why ask us?? Go see doctor before it's too late!!!


Good luck btw, hope nothing major is wrong with u.

Sounds like something neurological(your brain,nerves etc). Go to your doctor ASAP. Some things like these are genetic/hereditary and quick intervention by medication could help tremendously.

go to a hospital gp, he will refer you to someone else. dont bother going to normal clinics they dont have the facilities to run tests and such.

your right leg haven't wake up yet... give it a slap or a pinch first to wake it up... j/k

anyway, looks like it either be nerve problem or your sleeping posture problem. Your sleeping posture might be restricting the blood circulation to your right leg, hence making it numb in the morning when u wake up, and of cos you can't control a numb leg properly.

if it's nerve problem... there could be a growth somewhere in your body suppresing the nerve to your right leg causing the numbness.

either way, stop asking serious health related question online to look for answers from unqualified ppl like us and me
Go consult a REAL doctor today!!!

Are you suffering spinal/back pain?If yes,you should consult a ortho/neurologist asap.

is it come back to nromal after that? Maybe you sleep over your leg and block the blood from flow through it and created the numbness something like that.

i guess i should have asked this at the start...

how many times has this happened and how frequent?

it happened to my arm before and it totally numb and cannot move for half an hour

it happened to my leg before also.....but not that often lah maybe twice in my whole life.....it was due to my sleeping position. It was dead scary man.......it's not even numb feeling i could not feel my leg at all. I used both my hands to swing it around to let the blood circulate back in. If I'm not mistaken if you cut off blood circulation for more than 3 hours can cause it to die off and need to amputate? I think I read that in St. John before.....that's why i panic when i woke up....

^^^^^

Plus prolly slept on a nerve or something.

imagine it happen on you when you have the urge to toilet to release pee, the right hand totally offline and pain, and yet you want to pee. It happened on me before numb on the leg, have to really drag myself to toilet to let go the lower pressure
