I was in the hospital recently for 5 days, I had just gotten some surgery done on my ribs. On day 5 I woke up from a nap and I couldn't move my left toes no matter how hard I tried. They weren't 'asleep' and didn't feel tingley. This lasted about 20 seconds, but it felt like an hour. It was truley terrifying.
The nurse said she had absolutley no clue and that I should ask my surgeron when I see him on tuesday.
I have been on a lot of drugs recently for pain and I was wondering if this had anything to do with it.
I was just curious as to if this has happened to anyone else.
I appreciate any feedback :)

It didn't hurt at all
I was laying flat on my back

You may have pressed on a nerve briefly.
