Be careful with this thing on your legs!
As the saying goes: people get old before their legs, and many people think that it is normal for their legs to be inflexible when they are old! But there is a very common disease called leg terrier!
3. Resting pain period:
Even if you don't exercise or walk, you still have pain in your lower limbs, especially when you fall asleep at night. At this stage, it must be treated aggressively and quickly, otherwise it will enter the gangrene phase.
4. Gangrene stage:
In the end, cyanosis (that is, purple ecchymosis), ulcers, and gangrene appear on the foot plate, and the leg and toe will be amputated at this time.
Blockage of blood vessels in the lower limbs is easy to disguise as 2 diseases:
1. Old cold legs
The so-called "old cold legs" are medically called "knee osteoarthritis". The arteriosclerosis occlusive disease of the lower limbs has similar symptoms to the old cold legs.
2. Lumbar disc herniation
Lumbar disc herniation can also cause symptoms such as lower limb pain and intermittent claudication.
However, in terms of symptoms, pain as soon as you walk may be lumbar spondylosis, and pain that begins after walking for a while may be arteriosclerosis of the lower limbs.
Therefore, the middle-aged and elderly people with high blood lipids, high blood sugar, high uric acid, high body weight, high blood pressure, high blood viscosity, high age, high mental pressure, high smoking addiction and little exercise are the high-risk factors for arteriosclerosis occlusive disease, and the disease mostly occurs in patients over 50 years old.
After the age of about 30, the arteries begin to have lipid deposits, and after middle age, you should pay attention to the atherosclerosis of your arteries and blood vessels, and regularly go to the hospital every year to check the arteries and blood vessels.
For leg stalks, you can conduct a self-examination at home, that is, "take a look, touch it, and walk it".
glance
It is to see the color of the feet, whether they have turned white or purple;
Touch it
It is to touch the temperature of the foot, whether it is cool or not, whether the dorsalis pedis artery exists or not, whether it is weakened or not, and compare the two sides;
Take a walk
It is to walk at a normal walking speed for a while and feel if there is any discomfort such as soreness in the calves or lower limbs.
1. Don't walk the cobblestone road
Because patients with foot infarction have problems with blood vessels in their legs, their feet have low perception, and they are not sensitive to pain, walking on cobblestone roads is likely to cause infection and aggravate the degree of leg necrosis.
2. Don't exercise vigorously
For example, square dancing, which many aunts and mothers are very fond of, and the morning jog that grandparents will do every morning, are not suitable as exercises for foot infarction patients.
For patients with foot infarction, it is more suitable for gentler exercises, such as: slow walking, tai chi, Baduanjin, etc.
3. Don't soak your feet in hot water
3. Control blood pressure, high blood pressure has great damage to blood vessels, and high blood pressure lasting for 10 years will cause many complications.
