Thank you for trusting Healthcare Magic.

I understand your feeling since this condition is quite bothersome.
Numbness or paresthesia can occurs when irritation or pressure of the nerve fibers carries the sensation.
This is not always a big problem, cause it can occurs when you are sitting kneeling or bending the legs too long where the nerves and blood flow is disrupted.

Other causes of numbness may result from disturbance of the peripheral nerves, muscles, spinal cord, or even brain. Causes of tingling due to other diseases include diabetes mellitus and rheumatism.

Due to the lack of available data and our limitations for physical examination, we are having difficulty diagnosing and defining a definitive diagnosis of your complaints. If the numbness occurs in a short time and improves after you move us, then you no need to worry. However, if the complaint persists and becomes more disturbing, we suggest you consult a neurologist for further examination.

Here are some home remedies:
1. You can do leg exercises. This exercise can be done in a standing position, sitting and sleeping, by moving legs and joints of the feet such as standing with both heels raised, lifting and lowering the legs.
2. You can take acetaminophen if you feel pain.
3. Some studies suggest that administration of methylcobalamin or vitamin B12 also helps in overcoming this.
4. Warm bath can also relieve symptoms of numbness.

Thus the explanation we can convey. I hope this helps.
