Hi,
Prolonged use, as you have described, can cause heaviness and numbness. It is quite common and will settle by itself.
Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself.
If symptoms are severe or you are much worried, you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
