What is this phantom sensation called? Does it happen to you?

Asked by SpatzieLover (24606points) July 6th, 2011

This hat question sparked some answers that made me realize I have no idea what you’d refer to this sensation as.

Here’s when it happens to me:
When I take off roller skates, get off my bike after a ride, take off a hat, or put down a bag I’ve been carrying for a couple of hours-etc.

Apparently I’m not alone, so if it happens to you, what causes it? And if you know, what is it called?
