Hello. Thank you for posting.

There are many possible causes of numbness and tingling. One of the most common is sitting, kneeling, or standing in the same position for a long time. It might take a bit of time to get the feeling back depending on how long a person was confined to a certain position.

Another common cause is an injury. Injuring a nerve (a neck injury may cause you to feel numbness anywhere along your arm or hand, while a low back injury can cause numbness or tingling down the back of your leg) Pressure on the nerves of the spine, such as from a herniated disk.

If the numbness does not resolve, see your doctor.
