When my legs become numb ...

The first thing you feel is an uncontrollable surge of horror. Especially when the legs go numb for the first time. This problem is faced not only by the inhabitants of megacities. And age categories are vague. More often the symptoms appear in the working part of the population, with increasing age they can only increase and even lead to disability.

Did you have such feelings? Too numb legs? The causes of the condition are different. First of all - the lack of proper physical activity and lack of exercise. And the load is very, very necessary for the muscular apparatus and its tone. "Muscles, then, where?" -- you ask. Nerve endings are associated with them directly. But more on this later.

And now one case from millions similar (medical practice). The guy turns to the therapist with a complaint that his legs are numb. And numbness can capture it at any time and with varying strength. Sometimes it was a slight numbness and passed quickly, and sometimes so strong that it was impossible to get out of bed. And later they began to numb their arms. Especially strong feelings were in the early morning.

Therapist was assigned to the examination. Have made a roentgen of a sacral and lumbar departments, scanning of vessels and ... Have not revealed deviations or rejections. Treatment was prescribed was symptomatic, but, as you can guess, there were no improvements in the direction of improvement. And the patient turned with the same complaints again. Already in the course of communication with the neuropathologist it was found out that the guy was sleeping on the couch, falling asleep "under the TV" in an unnatural position. It's a familiar picture, is not it? Recipe at this time was given in the form of recommendations for the organization of a place to sleep. Arriving in two weeks for a second appointment, the patient did not present any complaints. The cause of the condition was the weakness of the muscular apparatus. The unnatural position interfered with the regulation of blood circulation.

Most often we are able to cope with this state ourselves. You just have to take a more tolerant approach to the way of life. Start with an elementary charge every morning. Walk more on foot, or even better - arrange morning runs somewhere in the woods, in the park, in the park. Excess oxygen in addition to the general tone will never hurt. Pay attention to your food. Is not it time to change it at last? Down with preservatives, "yeshki," semi-finished products, cakes and buns! The pleasure from this is imaginary, the harm is enormous. But you know for yourself ... Usually such non-radical measures help to forget that your legs are numb.

If the symptoms do not go away, medical examination can not be avoided. If your legs are still numb, visit, first of all, the therapist's office. Then you need to pass blood for analysis (for both general and biochemical). Be sure to consult a vascular surgeon (most likely, you will be assigned a vascular scan). Visit the neurologist. Very often, the numbness of the limb (or limbs) is associated with the condition of the spine (pinched nerve endings, hernia of the vertebral discs, osteochondrosis, curvature of the spine (scoliosis , etc.), so the spinal column examination is also mandatory.It may be that your treatment will be strictly individual, Taking into account the revealed deviations.

If serious problems are not found, then it is likely that you will be prescribed treatment in the form of active rest ("movement is health"), massage, contrast shower, changing the regime of the day and taking vitamins. Usually injections B6 and B1 are prescribed, the course of treatment lasts 20 days. It is advisable to add the device in tablets (or injections) of nicotinic acid. It will help restore blood supply.

Do not over tighten the examination. Numbness of the extremities is not always an occasion for panic, but it is also impossible to postpone, hoping that it will be carried by you this time. For example, when both limbs (arm and leg) simultaneously grow dumb, it is quite possible that the body is trying to signal circulatory disorders in the brain. Any discomfort that you feel, the body tries to tell you about the failures. Listen to your body.
