Hand numbness, leg numbness, numbness... There are 7 major diseases hidden behind it! One more person knows, one less tragedy!

       
The 7 major diseases behind the numbness of the hands and feet: bone disease, cerebral infarction, tumor, ......
1. Nerve problems


If the numbness of your hands is concentrated in the area of the ring finger and little finger, you can take a piece of paper and try to clamp it with each of your five fingers to test the strength of your five fingers; You can also use five fingers to see if the strength is enough.

If you can't hold the paper or your strength becomes weak, you should be alert to a problem with the ulnar nerve. The ulnar nerve is a nerve that passes through the elbow, and the action of bending the elbow for a long time is easy to compress the ulnar nerve, causing hand numbness, and it is also easy to be confused with hand numbness in stroke.
If your hand numbness is concentrated in the area of your thumb, index finger and middle finger, you can try to do this test by tapping the midpoint of the wrist stripe on the palm of the hand (the middle of the wrist on the palm surface) to see if there is an electrical numbness that rushes up to the fingertips, if so, it means that your hand numbness is probably related to damage to the median nerve, not a sign of stroke. In this case, even if you have a luminal infarction or brain lesion on your CT scan, don't ignore the median nerve.
2. One-handed numbness is alert to cervical spondylosis
If it is numbness in one arm or finger, it may be caused by cervical spondylosis, which is usually chronic and recurrent numbness, accompanied by symptoms such as soreness and stiffness in the neck and shoulder.
3. Numbness of upper limbs and legs beware of lumbar spondylosis
Numbness of the hands and feet caused by lumbar spondylosis, it is numbness of the upper limbs and legs caused by lumbar spine lesions, and the scattered numbness of the limbs occurs when the local nerves are stimulated, such as lumbar spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, etc. Intervertebral disc compression of nerves can lead to inconvenience and even incontinence.
4. Finger numbness and weakness or carpal tunnel syndrome   
Carpal tunnel syndrome refers to the thickening of the transverse carpal ligament, the swelling of the tendons in the tube, the degeneration of the tissue due to the blood stasis and the degeneration of the carpal bone, which reduces the circumference of the lumen, thereby compressing the median nerve and causing numbness and weakness of the fingers.
5. Unilateral limb numbness may be a precursor to cerebral infarction
If numbness in the hands and feet appears on one limb and the other is completely normal, it is a warning sign of cerebral infarction. The numbness of the limbs caused by cerebral infarction is usually acute, and may also be accompanied by symptoms such as speech impairment and hemilimb movement disorder, so it is necessary to seek medical attention urgently in this case.
6. Symmetrical numbness should prevent diabetic lesions
Peripheral neuropathy caused by diabetes mellitus often presents with symmetrical pain and paresthesias, and symptoms are more common in the lower extremities than in the upper extremities. Paresthesias include numbness, ant walking, crawling, fever, electric shock, often ascending from the distal toes to the knee, and patients have paresthesias wearing socks and gloves.
7. The numbness is not only careful of the tumor
In older people, long-term chronic numbness in the hands and feet that persists and does not relieve, and it is also necessary to consider that it may be caused by malignancy. In the advanced stage of the tumor, due to the effect of the distant site, the corresponding neurological symptoms will occur, such as numbness, weakness, and unsteadiness in walking.
Therefore, if the common cause is not identified, a comprehensive examination must be done, such as liver, stomach, blood, etc., and women need to check the ovaries and breasts. In order to detect the tumor as early as possible and treat it in time.

What diseases cause numbness in the hands and feet?
1. Arteriosclerosis
Numbness is mostly characterized by numbness of one upper limb or lower limb or half of the body, which generally lasts for a few hours to several days, and if not treated in time, it will develop into hemiplegia and paralysis.
2. Carpal tunnel syndrome
The numbness of the limbs caused by this disorder is characterized by worsening numbness when the wrist is flexed.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by the thickening of the transverse carpal ligament, the swelling of the tendons in the carpal tunnel, the degeneration of tissues due to congestion, or the reduction of the circumference of the lumen due to degeneration and hyperplasia of the carpal bone, thereby compressing the median nerve, causing numbness and weakness of the fingers, and the symptoms are progressively worsening. It is common in middle-aged women who are engaged in more housework such as mopping floors and washing clothes.
3. Cervical spondylosis
It is the most common disease that causes numbness in the fingers, and it is also one of the diseases that are common in middle-aged and elderly people, and in recent years, this disease has a tendency to be younger.
Due to long-term sedentary reluctance to move, abnormal neck posture, especially the use of computers and mobile phones for too long, the cervical intervertebral disc degenerates, resulting in intervertebral disc herniation or joint sudden hyperplasia or hypertrophy, and these herniated cervical intervertebral discs or hypertrophic articular processes will cause numbness in arms and fingers once they compress the adjacent cervical nerve roots and blood vessels. This numbness is usually chronic, recurrent, and is accompanied by discomfort such as soreness and stiffness in the neck and shoulders.
Unilateral numbness of the arms and fingers may be caused by cervical spondylosis, which can be easily caused by long-term work with the head bowed, neck cold, and pillow cushioning.
4. Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation
Most of the patients will have numbness in the lower limbs, usually manifested as chronic, recurrent unilateral or bilateral numbness of the thighs, calves and feet, accompanied by pain and discomfort in the lower back.
Long-term exposure to heavy physical labor, strenuous exercise, history of trauma, smoking, exposure to cold, poor posture and other conditions can easily cause lumbar spine diseases. The diagnosis can be confirmed by X-rays, CT or MRI.
5. Transient ischemic attack
If numbness of the hands and feet appears on one limb and the other side is normal, it may be caused by transient ischemic attack (TIA), and cerebral ischemia can easily develop into cerebral infarction.
Limb numbness due to cerebral ischemia or cerebral infarction is usually acute and may be accompanied by symptoms such as speech impairment and hemilimb mobility impairment, and medical attention should be sought immediately.
6. Diabetes
Bilateral symmetrical numbness in the fingers is a common symptom of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes, and many people with diabetes have poor blood sugar control and develop complications at an early stage. Measure blood sugar regularly, and go to the endocrinology department in time if you have relevant symptoms.
It is very likely that the elderly have been suffering from indigestion and nutrition can not keep up, which will lead to peripheral neuritis due to vitamin B1 deficiency. In addition, since diabetics can cause a variety of complications, people with numb hands may also have diabetes.
7. Gout
Clinically, about 1% of patients with hand numbness are caused by gout, which may be caused by uric acid precipitation in the median nerve and compression of the median nerve.
Since there are many people who smoke and drink alcohol in today's society, for people who drink a lot, if you consume too much alcohol, it will cause numbness in your hands, this is because you have chronic alcoholism at this time.
How can I effectively relieve numbness in my hands and feet?

Patients with rheumatism and bone disease with numbness of hands and feet should pay attention to keeping warm and moisture-proof, especially to keep warm, the body is overly cold, cold, or severe cold climate often aggravates the symptoms of numbness.
Of course, the numbness of the hands and feet of ordinary people is only caused by poor blood circulation due to the pressure on the nerves. If the numbness of the hands and feet does not resolve for more than 1 day or has a sudden onset accompanied by other symptoms, it is recommended to go to the neurology department of the hospital for timely treatment.
First of all, patients with numbness of hands and feet should pay attention to their regular work and rest. Secondly, eat modestly, especially not overeat fat and sweet, to prevent "three highs" blood. In addition, patients with numbness of hands and feet should maintain a happy mood and avoid worrying and anger.

The numbness of the hands and feet is actually called paralysis in the category of disease, which is an important signal that the wind, cold, dampness, and evil poisonous gases invade the body, and when the evil poisonous gases invade the internal organs, the professional feeling is numbness in the hands and feet, soreness, heaviness, pain, and a sense of pins and needles, which is the signal sent by the blocked meridians, and it is also the back line of defense of the human body.
In addition to daily attention and observation, finger movement, we also need timely medical treatment and treatment, otherwise the meridians will be damaged, thereby destroying the human nerve conduction function system, resulting in nerve necrosis, and eventually stroke, hemiplegia, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, diabetic gangrene, and lifelong regrets......
