Arms and legs falling asleep

 Ever since the surgery my arms and legs fall asleep more often and very easily. I could be leaning on my arm or sitting on my leg for just a minute and I notice the pins and needles feeling coming. Is that normal? It happens in such a short time and very often. What could it mean?

you have new pressure points and less padding, get up and move around, if it contiues call doctor, move, and keep moving, watch hard seats, and sitting too long in the car. as you loose more you will want to fidget, but the sking is in a different place, and bones poke thru closer to the surface. Good Luck

Are you getting enough B-12 (taking a sublingual or the shot)?  That is a sign of low B-12.

that was my first thought, as well.  What's your B12 level?  Above 400, at least?  If not, that's a factor.
