When you're staying in the same position for a long while and then there's this this itchy sensation as if ants are climbing on your skin, why does it hurt so much when you're trying to move that leg, or arm?

answered Sep 09, 2010 at 10:13AMBy sitting in the same position, you have either blocked the vascular flow to the organ or vascular/neurological function. When the pressure is relieved, it takes a few moments for the blood flow to return to normal in the tissues, resulting in these unpleasant feelings. If you are having this symptom a lot, you may want to see your physician regarding other problems, such as back problems or vascular problems.
