So I realized this morning that part of my knee feels like it's asleep. It's been like this for about 3 hours. I don't even know what to call that region; it's on the inside meaning where the two knees touch if you were to press them together. It is from the top of my tibea to 3 or 4 inches down. Suggestions?
 
Have you had any other types of knee or lower leg issues either recently or in the past? For the record that would be the medial pat of your knee.

no I have not, and thank you for the term, it is surprisingly difficult to figure that out!
 
As long as your nob doesn't go numb, you're in good shape.
 
^^^ some good advice, especially for my vagoo, but it has been 24hrs and my knee still feels asleep. But it is sensitive to pain and cold, and i would assume heat.

Maybe take a long slow paced walk on flat terrain and then a get in the hot tub or a bath. Numbness or "falling asleep" could mean a circulation problem. I'd carefully increase your circulation. Try not to drink booze for a few days. If that doesn't help then you should probably see your doctor.

I hope it's not Neuropathy. My Dad has that. Turns out he has a vitamin B-12 deficiency.
 
There are a few self diagnosis websites. Take them with a grain of salt, but they may give some insight.

My dad has peripheral neuropathy. He's seen several doctors and none have been able to diagnose why. Sucks.

As for the OP...a simple microfracture surgery should clear that right up!
 
Well I am pleased to say, much like the Blazers championship hopes, my problem seems to go away as time progresses!
