Your leg is very numb what should you do?

You should not walk on it, first of all. Most of the time my limbs (arms, legs) become numb when I have cut off circulation to them or pinched a nerve (?) by the way I am sitting or by an activity I am engaged in. If that is the cause, simply find another position so your leg is more relaxed. It should feel better quickly. If this does not solve the problem, I would call a doctor. Wait for it to un-numb then go about your day. ;)
