Thread Name: BS: Don't cross your legs - nerve damage
Subject: RE: BS: Don't cross your legs
Holy moly! I just crossed my legs inadvertently and realized something. The peroneal palsy is not just in my right leg casused by crossing my legs... some of the problems in my left leg are caused by the same thing as well! Same nerve! Just a bit different application of force. Even tho it's right leg over left leg.
After learning about this "odd" thing today, I have become more "aware" of the feelings in my legs and feet. I crossed my legs out of habit and immediately felt a change in the right leg AND the left foot. What a revelation! And, I will add, it's a relief to KNOW what is going on... I have been tryin to find out for over two years... Canuck Health Care... two years... don't cross yer legs.
I am curious. How many of youse were taught by your elders never to cross yer legs?
