i know this is weird and let me know if this is off topic, but i have trouble walking properly after playing the guitar.

i play guitar sitting down with the guitar of my right leg, and with my legs crossed. most of the time its ok but if i sit there for long enough, when i stand up i cant lift my right ankle properly. its only in my right ankle and my brain thinks it has already been lifted so my feet drag on the floor. this has happened once before also after playing guitar but largely went away after one day of stretching.

do you think it cuts off the blood circulation or its just because i sat for too long(although it has only happened after playing)

i dont practice/play particularly hard since its just a hobby but i like watching youtube while practicing boring stuff so it could add up to over an hour.

have any of you also experienced this problem?

    I would re think your seating posture. You’re probably trapping a nerve or something which means your posture is not relaxed. Also consider alternating between sitting and standing especially if you’re playing electric.
