The old man can't lift his feet to walk

Once people reach old age, many problems will arise. As they age, many diseases come to us quietly, and some are unexpected. The elderly may not be able to lift their feet when walking, and other symptoms may appear. They think they may have many problems, so they begin to worry and be afraid, and even don’t want to talk. They feel that they are getting worse and worse than before. In fact, it is not that serious. It is mainly due to calcium deficiency.

Idiopathic foot swelling is more common in women. Symptoms often occur in both feet at the same time. The degree is relatively mild and often occurs when standing for a long time or when tired. It will gradually disappear after lying down or resting. Functional foot swelling is more common in women. It is generally not serious and often occurs intermittently. It can usually last for several years. For some patients, foot swelling is related to the season but not to body position. The reason is still unknown. Nutritional swollen feet are caused by lack of nutrition in the body due to eating less, decreased digestive function or chronic diseases, thus causing swollen feet. At this time, patients often suffer from anemia and are prone to infectious diseases due to decreased immune function.

Cardiac leg swelling is caused by decreased heart function, especially in patients with right heart failure. At this time, examination of the heart may reveal pathological changes such as organic murmurs and cardiac enlargement. Inferior vena cava foot swelling is foot swelling caused by poor blood flow from the inferior vena cava, and one foot often swells first. This is due to thrombosis in the inferior vena cava and compression of the inferior vena cava by a tumor in the pelvis. Suggestions: If your feet are swollen, you must go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to find out the cause and receive timely treatment.

When elderly people cannot lift their legs when walking, we should first check their function to see if it is caused by aging, and then check whether there are any problems with their cerebral blood vessels. If everything is normal, it is recommended to drink some American ginseng, Panax notoginseng tea, or take some Buzhong Yiqi Pills and Ginseng Guipi Pills.

It may be a sign of calcium deficiency. It is recommended to supplement calcium and eat more foods rich in calcium or that can promote calcium absorption. For example: milk (human milk, cow's milk, goat's milk, etc.) is rich in calcium and is fully absorbed; animal liver, egg yolk, fish, meat and beans are rich in vitamin D, which can promote calcium absorption, but the vitamin D in animals and plants must be converted into endogenous vitamin D through ultraviolet radiation before it can be used by the human body.
