This happened a few years ago around my sophomore year of highschool (healthy teenage boy at the time) everyone in my class was outside on the football field just playing flag football i believe and all i remember was making one wrong turn and landing on my butt and once i tried to get back up i physically couldnt get up my legs didnt feel tingly or anything out of order but just the fact i couldnt move them it scared the life out of me so i had a fellow classmate help walk me to the door and halfway down the field i gained the ability to walk again. this was the first time this has ever happened to me

    Could just shock from your fall. Your bum is also connected to the nerves on the spine and legs. If you're alright at the moment then you have nothing to be worried about.

    I agree with lancebuyco. Sounds as though you fell heavily on the nerves in your butt and they went numb for a few seconds. Dont worry.
