General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to the position of the leg.
A person may feel numbness in their legs and feet due to sitting in a position that puts too much pressure on the nerves or reduces blood flow.
I suggest to rest, ice, compress and elevate the area.
Use a compression bandage or heat retainer until you feel no pain.
Gentle calf stretching may also be helpful.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
