Numbness in the hands and feet is a very common phenomenon, such as being compressed on the upper limbs, or being in a squat state for a long time, which will lead to poor circulation of peripheral blood, which will cause this phenomenon.
As long as the appropriate and rapid movement, the numbness of the hands and feet will soon ease on its own.
However, if there is a frequent numbness in the daily life, or when the hands and feet are not oppressed, this situation will also occur, then it must be vigilant, and it is very likely to be related to the following factors.
What are the causes of frequent numbness?
1. Lumbar spine disease
When suffering from a series of lumbar spine diseases, it is very likely that the patient's hands and feet will also be tingling.
Moreover, the patient's entire upper and lower limbs will have corresponding numbness, or the phenomenon of limited mobility.
For example, when suffering from lumbar disc herniation, the nerve roots of the upper and lower limb nerves located in the spinal canal will be compressed accordingly.
As a result, the patient's hands and feet will appear tingling, and it will also be accompanied by repeated low back pain.
2. Osteoarthropathy
In the case of a range of osteoarticular diseases, the patient's osteoarticular cartilage undergoes some degeneration.
And it is likely to cause joint deformities, or bone spurs at the edge of the joints, then the patient's hands and feet will be tingling, accompanied by osteoarthritis numbness, pain and other discomfort.
3. Stroke precursors
If the numbness of the hands and feet is accompanied by some head discomfort, such as headache, dizziness, dizziness, lack of energy, drowsiness, constant yawning, and sudden loss of vision, it is very likely to be related to the precursor of stroke.
Before the stroke attack, the blood vessels in the brain have been blocked, which will compress the corresponding nerves, so that the patient's hands and feet or the entire left side of the body will appear numb.
4. Neuritis
Neuritis, also known as peripheral neuritis, usually involves the sciatic nerve, ulnar nerve, femoral nerve, as well as the median and lateral cutaneous nerves.
Once suffering from neuritis, the patient will have sensory impairment, upper and lower limbs, hands and feet will appear corresponding numbness, especially the numbness of the lower limbs is more obvious, and will also be accompanied by burning sensation, pain and other phenomena.
If severe, patients may also experience hypotonia and malnourished muscular atrophy.
5. Diabetes
If there is tingling in the hands and feet, there will also be a feeling of ant travel, burning, and needle prick at the ends of the fingers and toes.
If it is accompanied by polyphagia, polydipsia, polyuria, and weight loss, it is generally related to diabetes.
Once diabetes mellitus occurs, the blood glucose value in the patient's body will rise, which will cause peripheral neuropathy, which will cause tingling in the hands and feet.
Sixth, qi and blood are two deficiencies
Especially for some women, when there is numbness in the hands and feet, it is also accompanied by cold hands and feet, frequent palpitations, palpitations, palpitations, dizziness, fatigue, and pale or yellowish appearance, which is generally related to the deficiency of qi and blood.
Due to insufficient qi and blood, there will be a lack of nutrient supply in various organs, resulting in excessive numbness in the hands and feet.
7. Cervical spondylosis
Especially when suffering from cervical myelopathy and radiculopathy, the patient's upper limbs will appear numb and painful.
This discomfort also radiates along the nerve roots, resulting in weakness and heaviness in the lower limbs.
Patients will also have very obvious and repetitive shoulder and neck pain in the shoulder and neck position, or problems such as stiffness and pain.
All in all, for people who often have numbness in their daily lives, it is generally related to the above 7 diseases.
Then the patient must be admitted to the hospital for a series of examinations at the first time, and then take the corresponding method according to the cause of treatment.
And in the daily life, we must pay attention to doing a good job of keeping the body warm, and we must not have some bad postures for a long time, in order to effectively improve this situation and achieve the role of protecting our own health.
