So Occasionally I will have my back pinch something while I'm asleep and I'll wake up with like a tingling leg or something. I got used to it a bit. This morning I woke up with my forearm under my lower back. When I finally realized what was up and moved my arm, I realized I didnt feel anything below my waste. I reached down and grabbed my leg and didnt feel it. I started to freak out, naturally. After a couple minutes of me going nuts, I went to reach up to get my phone of the window sill so I could call 911. When I reached my arm across, something popped in my lower back, and after about 20 seconds the feeling in my legs had returned. This was like 7am. So I got up, and I was able to walk and nothing even hurt. I went to the hospital and basically my laying on my arm had pushed a couple of my discs against my spine. When my back popped, that was them moving back to where they should be.
Scariest fuckin thing ever. I was seriously almost ready to just pack it all in

once I could walk again and feel my legs, i just drove to the hospital. Alot cheaper that way

did they check everything? maybe from that you could have a pinched nerve in there as well. it might take some moving around for it to really get pinched. Your back is nothing to mess around with.
And Chiro's are nuts.

The doctors actually just said it was a "natural" occurrence and didnt recommend a specialist or meds or something to prevent it from happening again??
As hard as I find that to believe, I still am now afraid to go to sleep.

No they didnt say that. I have a back issue where my discs are already a bit fucked up. Its normal for me to wake up with like some tingling or a nerve pinch. This itself is not normal but it kinda popped itself back to where it should be, so there isnt much they can do about it. They tell me to go to therapy and chiropractors but I cant afford that shit, so I just try to be careful and check out big things as they come up

It's your sciatic. Happened to me once. I went to get up out of bed, and actually couldn't feel my legs and flopped to the ground. I feel and felt trauma on my hip. Few moments later my legs were fine.

I just hope it isn't the Earl solution: Silver salad.
Glad you're alright, sort of, Snoogs.

i ahve similar experiences
a few times just from waist down
and once from neck down
when i woke and couldnt move i started thinking what the fuck did i do in my sleep that i fucking paralyzed my ass ??
eventually feeling returned and all was well
chalked it up to me waking up before my body
Is it fucked up that I have a strong urge to go to the Range and hit golf balls?
Live like you were dying, man.
Did you have the urge to go skydivin', rocky mountain climin', or ride a bull name fu manchu?
I dont get that
Its a lost reference, about Locke, he was paralyzed but can now walk

I've woken up before and for whatever reason I've tried to get up immediately and my legs weren't there and I've ended up on the floor.
