What happens when you let your body parts stay numb?

I've never thought about that. My legs are numb right now and I'm too afraid to move it. o.o

@ltachifire: That's called ischemia.
That eventually leads to decreased cellular metabolism, death, etc.

Your sense of feeling is caused by your nerves, it isn't based off of blood flow.
But obviously with cellular death to do prolonged ischemia, you won't be feeling anything.

You obviously need to move them because that position is apparently compressing your nerves. o.o[/quote]

Oh really? I always thought it was just a loss of blood flow.

[quote=WowChowMein]What you do is you punch the parts that numb. Seriously. I actually heard it might cause something to pop, like a vein or something. not so sure.[/quote]

[quote=MariixP]It's kind of obnoxious really @_@. Lol, sad thing is that the question I asked about the numbness was serious. I just hate the feeling of it; and it gets worse when I try to move it. That's why I leave it as it is. Apparently no one feels the same way.

@MariixP: No, I prefer to move them because if I don't it will get worse.

Man, just look at the other questions in the chat section. Someone just asked like a few months ago how he could pee in the toilet when -you know what- is erect.

Having a bad day? Loosen up (ironically), dude. I'm sure you hate to move your limbs when they're numb.

When it gets numb, it usually means a lack of blood flow/circulation in that particular area of the body. It could cause blood clots and other issues. It's best that, if it does start to become numb, you move it around and let your blood flow through that part of the body.

You're cutting off circulation to your limbs, what do you think will happen?

If you keep it long enough, it'll fall off. Your call.
