Does using a laptop on your legs make the tingling worse?

Posted by ktbs @ktbs, 2 days ago

I think using my laptop computer while sitting causes more tinging or could it be something else? Is there any study that connects the use of electrical devices while sitting with them on your lap and increased tingling in legs and feet?

Just a thought, but have you tried not using the laptop like that for a week or so to see if your legs and feet don't feel any worse?

I can't use my laptop sitting at a table, so I bought a padded lap desk to add comfort. It helps a great deal. I do also move my feet and legs a lot to keep blood flowing, hopefully. It's not good for me to be in one position for very long, my muscles need the changes.

I do wish I could sit with the laptop on a table top of some sort. I found in the hospital and rehab, using the over the bed tables was quite helpful and I got used to the convenience. I've seen them advertised online... Might be a good thought!
