Question:

I have woken up twice to the back of my head being numb and once to part of my cheek/mouth being numb, to both arms being numb and tingling and my legs. When I wake up everyday somepart of my body is numb. If I sit with my legs straight out withing minutes my legs are numb and tingling. If I sit or lay down and go to get up my right hip and sometimes knee hurt when i put pressure on it. I do have alot of low back pain. What possibly could be causing all this trouble?
