Reply to comment by TheEastStudentCenter in Why does mild compression lead to paresthesia but not paralysis? by Hola3008
Paresthesia due to compression is happening because nerves are compressed, not because of the sensory neurons in the skin. Thats the reason your feet are tingeling when you compress your upper legs by sitting on the toilet but you don't get paresthesia in your handy by carrying something heavy
