Good evening,
I have one leg that falls asleep whenever I sit still and gradually it gets rather painful. On a chair or on the zafu, doesn't really matter. Usually within 10-15 minutes it starts. It is caused by post-thrombotic syndrome and hindering my practice. I could lay down but this doesn't work for me either because I fall asleep easily (which is of course a great blessing in general!). What I do now is: I sit Burmese style and when the numbness and the pain starts I stick the leg out for a while. It is not ideal but the best I can do. Does anyone have some advise, things I can try that I didn't think of?
Sorry for the long story, tried to keep it as short as I could. I hope you all have a blessed day.
