Numbness is loss of transmission of touch sensation through the nerves.
If you carry a plastic shopping bag with too much weight for too long, and the handle passes directly over a joint, you might either put too much pressure on a nerve bundle or veins, causing numbness either directly through pressure or by restricting circulation and starving the nerves of oxygen.
This same process can happen because of cold, which causes constriction of blood vessels - especially in the extremities.
Simple awkward positions of the arms or legs can cause this, either by simple restriction of blood flow or pressure against nerve bundles.
