What is this problem leg goes dead for no reason and lasts aprox 15 minutes Is this bad circulation?

Answer 1

I beg to differ with you - there is ALWAYS a reason for a leg to go numb. Finding out what it is depends on your symptoms.

It depends on whether or not you're feeling any pain elsewhere in your body when it happens. While you can cut off blood flow and a limb will fall asleep if the blood flow is lowered, then of course it's due to circulation. If however you're getting pain in your back and then it goes to sleep, that's a nerve problem.

Anytime you experience a lack of feeling for any reason it means that something is being cut off - a nerve, circulation, whatever. Regardless of which one it is, if it happens on a regular basis it isn't good and you need to get it checked to determine what's causing it.
