Hello,

Thanks for writing to HealthCareMagic, I am Dr Muhammd Ahmad, I have closely read your question and I understand your concerns, I will hereby guide you regarding your health related problem.

This can happen sometimes ...most of the times due to posture. If this has happened for just once there is nothing to worry about but if this keeps on repeating it self then i would suggest you to visit your doctor. Neuropathy usually doesn't show up this acutely but pressure changes on nerves can but in your case it seems there is nothing wrong if this doesn't happen again.




I hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask,otherwise close the discussion and rate it.

Regards.
