I think it is probably pressure on a nerve (maybe the vagus nerve) from your bowel and referring down your leg. I get all sorts of things like that!

Yes, I get numbness in my left leg sometimes as well whilst sitting with bloating. I get up and try to walk it off. I think Maureen1958 could be correct about the vagus nerve.
