It may be a nerve problem or it may be due to a generalized illness (like Diabetes, SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, Alcoholism, toxins like heavy metals, infections, malignancy, parainfectious diseases like the Guillain Barre syndrome and a host of others). The latter category usually causes bilateral symptoms, although diabetes may cause a mononeuropathy - affecting a single or several discrete nerves instead of all of them.
The nervous structures serving the hand may be affected anywhere from the brain to the spinal cord to the peripheral nerves (ulnar, radial and median nerves). They may be compressed (as by a tumor, or after lying unconcious after heavy drinking), severed (in a gang fight), infarcted (in a stroke, or trauma where the limb vasculature is traumatized), stretched and, well, you name it.
Rheumatoid Arthritis may cause bilateral tingling in peripheral neuropathy but it may also cause unilateral tingling and weakness of the hand in the so-called carpal tunnel syndrome, where the wrist soft tissue swell and compress on the median nerve causing pain, numbness at the base of your thumb.
Of course, a complete history taken from you by your local doctor as well as investigations guided by the history is essential in arriving at a definite diagnosis.
Hope this helps.
Usually of you have reduced te blood supply by applying pressure to it (by leaning on it or example) you leg will get pins & needles then go completely numb. Other than that cause it may be a medical cause for concern but I am not a doctor. Hope this helps;)

If you are finding that your legs get so numb that you are unable to stand, you should see a doctor. It is normal to get numb legs from sitting for long periods of time but you should be able to stand up.
blood rushes to your legs and you lose circulation of blood throughout the body
You're dying.
You will actually start to really like the feeling of shaved legs - but if you wait a while before your next shave at any time in the future and a lot of hair builds up, it will feel a bit clammy and a little "numb" (I know what you mean) until you get used to it. Good luck!
you cut off the blood supply to your legs- position the drum just a bit differently!
It would affect the victim's breathing is the correct answer IS NOT feet would go numb.
Usually if you sit on them or you have them in unusaul positions for too long, you may get pins & needles and that causes your legs to go numb!
