Why is my whole body numb and stiff?

If symptoms of numbness and stiffness all over the body occur, generally speaking, this is caused by the nervous system. For example, it often leads to poor blood circulation, causing numbness of the limbs and body, which is closely related to insufficient blood supply. For example, in daily life, improper sleeping posture, or maintaining a posture for a long time may cause such a phenomenon. In addition, we should also be alert to this phenomenon caused by some cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Why is my whole body numb and stiff?

First, people with diabetes may experience numbness in their hands and feet.

If you experience frequent numbness, soreness, or swelling in any part of your body, you should check your blood sugar promptly.

The second is numbness caused by drugs or chemicals.

For example, if you have a cold or diarrhea, taking berberine or furazolidone may cause numbness in your hands and feet; numbness in your hands and feet may also occur if you stay in an environment containing hydrogen, arsenic, carbon disulfide, etc. for a long time.

The third is numbness caused by neuritis.

The most common symptoms of neuritis are numbness of hands and feet, muscle atrophy, and weakness in the limbs. If you have diarrhea or a cold for half a month, it will cause neuritis. Fourth, numbness occurs scattered in the limbs. Numbness does not occur in the limbs at the same time, but occurs in a scattered manner. This means that local nerves are stimulated, such as a stroke after being drunk, coma causing stimulation of the head nerves, stimulation of the hand nerves by the elderly using crutches, upper limb numbness caused by cervical spondylosis, and leg numbness caused by stimulation of the lumbar shoulder nerves.

Symptomatic treatment of numbness and stiffness of the whole body,

Instead, treat the cause. No matter what causes numbness in the hands and feet, you should first go to the hospital's neurology department for examination to determine whether the nerves are damaged and what kind of stimulation they have received. If it is a neurological problem, an electromyography examination will be required to further confirm the extent, range, and nature of the nerve damage. If the numbness of hands and feet is caused by other reasons, then transfer to other related departments for treatment.
