I have occasional numbness on my right side of body. Especially when I sit with legs cross or arm crossed. It feels as if the blood is not circulating it gets to the point I can t bear weight on it the foot and leg is asleep. Even when I get out of bed I don t know if the leg will bear weight I have to wait a little bit before I walk. Also my arm and hand during the night goes completely numb. I was cutting something with a knife my thumb totally went numb it flopped.
