i know this is weird and let me know if this is off topic, but i have trouble walking properly after playing the guitar.
i play guitar sitting down with the guitar of my right leg, and with my legs crossed. most of the time its ok but if i sit there for long enough, when i stand up i cant lift my right ankle properly. its only in my right ankle and my brain thinks it has already been lifted so my feet drag on the floor. this has happened once before also after playing guitar but largely went away after one day of stretching.
do you think it cuts off the blood circulation or its just because i sat for too long(although it has only happened after playing)
i dont practice/play particularly hard since its just a hobby but i like watching youtube while practicing boring stuff so it could add up to over an hour.
have any of you also experienced this problem?
i dont get the tingles but my leg was pretty limp and weak after standing up(after playing)
I think there is nothing you can do but wait and sit differently in the future, if it bothers you that much. If you feel pain, or your impediment persists longer than a few minutes you should change your seating position, and potentially ask a doctor. But if it’s only a bother, because you can’t move your leg for a while it’s not anything dangerous.
I don’t play guitar (got here from doom scrolling the front page), but I do like to sit on my legs from time to time. If I need to move (e.g. to pee) after sitting weirdly I do feel somewhat disabled sometimes, dragging my foot along the floor and having to use the wall in order to not fall over XD
But it goes away and doesn’t cause any pain, so I think it’s harmless.
