What is the reason for numbness in left hand and left foot?

Some patients reported that their left leg and left foot felt numb and weak. What is the reason for this? First of all, we should consider whether it is cerebral thrombosis or something like that, then insufficient blood supply to the brain, and then whether there are other symptoms. Based on these symptoms, we can consider what disease it is and where to start treatment.

Numbness in the hands and feet is a symptom that people often experience in their daily lives. It can be caused by incorrect sleeping posture or squatting on the toilet for a long time. It usually disappears in a short time and there will be no big problem. It may be due to poor peripheral blood circulation, resulting in numbness due to insufficient blood supply to the hands and feet. However, if some people experience numbness in their hands and feet for a long time (more than a day) and the symptoms do not subside, it may be a sign of illness in the body. However, if some people's hands and feet numbness persists for a long time (more than a day) and cannot be relieved, it may be a sign of illness and they need to go to the hospital for examination.

1. It may be caused by severe deficiency of qi and blood. Since blood cannot reach the hands and feet, they naturally become numb. If it is caused by insufficient blood circulation, seek treatment early. If you get cold later, you should be more careful.

2. It is usually related to peripheral neuropathy or cervical spondylosis. Using the same posture for a long time may cause numbness in the fingers. You should move more appropriately and use some nerve nourishing drugs such as Mecobalamin, vitamin B12, etc. for treatment when necessary.

3. It may be caused by poor peripheral blood circulation, resulting in numbness due to insufficient blood supply to the hands and feet. Incorrect sleeping posture can also cause numbness in hands and feet.

If your tolerance is poor, you can try massage, physical therapy, medication, ointment, etc. Usually, be careful not to lower your head for long periods of time, use a low pillow when sleeping, and avoid getting cold.

Build confidence and overcome anxiety: As a patient, you must first face reality and have a correct understanding of the disease. Some patients may not achieve satisfactory results after a period of treatment, which causes great mental and financial pressure, so they become anxious and lose confidence in treatment. As long as the patient maintains an optimistic mood, adopts a positive attitude, establishes a regular life system, participates in some physical exercise appropriately, cultivates an interest in life, diverts attention from the disease, and strengthens doctor-patient cooperation, significant therapeutic effects will be achieved.

From the above, the numbness of the left hand and left foot may seem like a simple symptom, but you must not ignore it. Go to the hospital's surgery department for a careful physical examination and X-ray. If nothing is found, you can also go to the neurology department for a check-up to get a definite diagnosis to avoid delaying the disease. Don’t ignore minor numbness in your hands and feet. Treat minor illnesses with minor treatments. Be prepared for a rainy day. Keep a good attitude, and you will surely have a healthy body!
