Have you also experienced having numb feet after some time in the toilet?

I have actually experienced having numb feet after sitting in the toilet for quite some time. I think its because the blood in my feet does not circulate well when i am sitting down in that position for so long. Im not sure if some people also do experience this but whenever i feel that my feel gets numb,its like there is an electric current running down my feet when i stand up and its quite hard to walk around. hehe
I would like to hear some of your opinion on this..
Has anyone also had this same experience?
Or is it just me?

I think its the position you sit at when on the toilet. It pinches or compresses the nerves on the underside of your leg. I get it also when driving too long. My seat is breaking down and there is one spot that pushes into my leg and it will fall asleep, fortunately its the left leg lol.

Perhaps more fiber in the diet so you won't be in there so long

I'm never on the pot long enough for that to happen.
