Since losing a bunch of weight I have my legs constantly crossed... everywhere I sit they are crossed. I have never had a problem crossing them, even 90 pounds ago... but I guess because my legs are smaller where they cross now is along the fibular head of leg (just below and behind the knee). I do it so much it has created compression around the main nerve there, and giving me a little bit of paralysis in my leg and foot. I cant lift my foot, can barely wiggle my toes.. I have a "drop foot" if any of you are familiar with that term. It's weird n stuff. But who would have thought that this could happen!? Shoot... it could only happen to me... I get all the weird stuff.. pancreatitis, nueropathy ... now I have to work on keeping my legs uncrossed, I want the feeling to come back.... so if you see my walking funny, you know why! Just another story to share about life after WLS!

Bridget,

Sorry to hear about your new lil problem.. I know that it beats being 90 lbs heavier but that sucks so much. I haven't been able to cross my legs since probably about 1991 so this new crossing my legs thing is new to me and exciting.. I haven't had any problems with it other then of course the occassional falling asleep of the foot.. I wish I could help ya out there girlfriend.. The only advice I could give is to not wear a short skirt if you aren't going to cross your legs.. Just funnin ya..
