If you experience numbness all over your body, you should be alert and go to the hospital for a check-up in time. You can also take some Chinese medicine for conditioning. There are many causes of numbness all over your body, which are related to nutritional deficiencies and metabolic disorders. In addition, you should be alert to some toxic nerve numbness, or nerve numbness caused by infection. If there is a bone marrow disease, it often leads to numbness of the limbs. Cause 1: Limb numbness due to nutritional deficiency and metabolic disorders: The patient may have a long history of gastrointestinal dysfunction, indigestion, or severe nutritional deficiency. The above diseases lead to severe deficiency of B vitamins in the patient's body, causing numbness of the limbs. 2. Toxic neurological numbness: The patient may have a history of long-term contact with heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic, lead or organophosphorus, or pesticides, as well as chemicals such as furans and isoniazid. This type of chemical can cause toxic neuritis, in which numbness of the distal limbs may occur in the early stages of the disease, often accompanied by pain and a tingling sensation on the skin. 3. Neuroinflammatory numbness caused by infection: This is due to the direct invasion of the nervous system by neurotoxins secreted by bacteria or viruses, causing numbness of the skin. This type of disease mainly includes diphtheria neuritis, leprosy neuritis, etc., which are manifested by numbness and loss of limb sensation. 4. Acute multiple radiculitis and numbness: The patient first presents with fever, similar to the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection, and symmetrical numbness of the distal limbs appears 1-2 months later. At the same time, limb weakness occurs, and in severe cases, paralysis and difficulty breathing may occur. 5. Spinal bone hyperplasia numbness: This type of numbness is quite common among the elderly. The main reason is that vertebral bone hyperplasia compresses the nerves in the spinal canal. Some patients may also experience limb pain and other sensations. 6. Myelopathy-induced numbness: In the early stages of certain myelopathy, numbness of the limbs may occur from the bottom to the top. As the disease worsens, the numbness may develop upward, and symptoms such as difficulty in limb movement may appear. 7. Arteriosclerotic numbness: It is more common in elderly people suffering from cerebral arteriosclerosis. Due to ischemia of brain tissue, especially the cerebral cortex, functional disorders occur in the sensory and motor centers of the brain, leading to numbness of the limbs in the corresponding parts. This type of numbness is mostly characterized by numbness of one upper limb or lower limb or half of the body, which usually lasts for several hours to several days. If not treated in time, it will develop into hemiplegia. 8. Numbness due to autonomic dysfunction: The location of this numbness is usually not fixed and is wandering, sometimes light and sometimes heavy. Patients are often accompanied by symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, insomnia, nightmares, memory loss, palpitations, shortness of breath and general fatigue. Generally, they can heal themselves.Daily care and prevention 1. Sleep on a hard bed more often. Limb numbness Sleeping on a hard bed can reduce the pressure on the intervertebral disc. 2. Pay attention to keeping your waist warm. Wear a waist belt (waist protector) during the day to strengthen the protection of the waist and back, which is also beneficial to the recovery of lumbar spondylosis. 3. Avoid bending over and exerting force. Do not bend over and exert force (such as mopping the floor...) at ordinary times. Try to rest in bed during the acute attack period. Even after the pain period is relieved, pay attention to proper rest and avoid overexerting yourself, so as not to aggravate the pain. 4. Lift less heavy objects and bend less. Do not bend over when lifting heavy objects. You should squat down to pick up the heavy object, then stand up slowly, and try not to bend over. 5. Rest in bed as much as possible, especially during the acute attack period. Also, after the pain period is relieved, pay attention to proper rest and do not overwork, so as not to aggravate the pain. 6. Eat more foods high in calcium. In your daily diet, eat more foods high in calcium, such as milk, dairy products, dried shrimps, kelp, sesame paste, and soy products are also rich in calcium. Eating them regularly is also beneficial for calcium supplementation. Pay attention to the nutritional structure. |
