eli5 Why does it hurt so much to move a body part that fell asleep
In: 251
If you ever wake up with a completely numb arm it’s important you don’t move until you can feel it again. Trying to use a limb you literally can’t feel or control puts you only one wrong move away from breaking it. No one wants to start the morning by snapping their arm or popping an elbow. Ruins the rest of the day.
Same goes for trying to walk on a dead foot you’ve sat on. I’ve know broken ankles from simply trying to stand on a dead foot.
