In Response To: loss of feet blood circulation - why ? (Erez)

Hi Erez,

The numb feet problem is not caused by a circulation problem. The major arteries and veins run on the inside and outside of the legs so sitting down doesn't restrict blood flow.

The cause is pressure on nerves. The nerves in your butt specifically. So a seat made to distribute the weight and keep pressure points away from these nerves is the answer.

Ian

P.S.- everytime your feet go numb it is an indication of nerve DAMAGE so get the problem rectified as soon as possible.
