Answer 4

Say you were sitting down. When you go to get up, your foot has 'fallen asleep' and you get 'pins and needles.'

What really happens is you have blocked off the veins, and the area cannot get enough blood supply. When you re-open the veins, this feeling occurs from the blood attempting to re-supply the area quickly.
