Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having extreme dead leg frequently. I want to say that it is normal to have extreme dead leg after getting pressure continuously such as by sitting for a long time. But you are getting it frequently, this may be due vitamin deficiency. Mecobalamin may be of help. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
