Can a bank refuse to release collateral if they have excessive collateral?
They can refuse if the loan outstanding is much more than the collateral provided. Ex: If you have a loan outstanding of 100,000$ and you have provided a collateral of 50,000$ you cannot expect the bank to release any collateral. Lets say your outstanding is only $30,000 then you can expect the bank to release a certain portion of the collateral atleast $20,000

What to do when a leg has gone to sleep and putting pressure on it hurts?
When your leg goes to sleep, a condition called paresthesia, it's because the blood circulation has been interrupted to your leg. What I usually do is reposition my body so that circulation is restored to my leg, then try not to move the leg as circulation is restored. Movement will cause pain and tingling during recovery from paresthesia, and it is not necessary to restore circulation (beyond moving to restore circulation).
What do it mean when you shake your leg while sitting?
You can cut off the circulation in your leg if you sit for too long causing your leg to tingle or feel numb. Shaking your leg might be a way to stimulate circulation again.
Why you can live without the saphenous vein?
Look up collateral circulation. The saphenous vein is a superficial vein, so it primarily works to cool/warm the body. It is fed by veins that are deeper in your leg, so when you remove the saphenous vein the other veins find a different path to go around (collateral circulation). Once this vein is removed (typically for Bypass surgery, but potentially for varicose vein treatment) the person's leg tends to be "fatter" or "swollen". Ironically, some medical sources indicate that the swelling subsides, but in practice I can tell you that is seldom the case. None the less, a fatter left, or right leg is better than a still heart.

What is collateral circulation?
Some areas in your body are supplied by more than one blood vessel. These extra vessels are called collateral blood vessels. For example, there is a major collateral vessel in the thigh. This is used by cardiologists to perform a heart bypass when the heart's own vessels are blocked.
If you had a broken leg would smoking prevent it from healing?
Smoking restricts circulation, and restricted circulation slows down healing.
Why do the calf of the leg get numb?
Because you are not getting enough or any circulation.
