What causes numbness on the inner thigh?

Some people will feel numbness on the inner thigh when they walk, and the condition will become more serious with age. Therefore, you should not injure your muscles again and you cannot sit for a long time. You should pay more attention to activities. During the acute attack period, it is best to rest in bed, otherwise it may cause bone hyperplasia.

Degeneration process

The degeneration process of the lumbar spine, in addition to changing with age, is also related to factors such as whether the lumbar spine has been subjected to excessive flexion and extension activities for a long time and weight-bearing injuries, which are external factors for lumbar degeneration and disease. In certain occupations that place excessive weight on the waist or easily expose the waist to trauma, the rate of lumbar degeneration is faster and the possibility of lumbar disease is also greater.

For example, people who do heavy manual labor, those who often carry heavy objects on their shoulders or backs, and some athletes who engage in weightlifting, gymnastics, wrestling, and other strenuous activities are prone to injuring the lumbar vertebrae and aggravating lumbar strain and degeneration. It is not difficult to understand that many professional athletes and manual laborers are prone to lumbar bone hyperplasia when they reach middle age or old age. Lumbar trauma in adolescence is also an important external cause of lumbar bone hyperplasia after middle age.

In recent years, the proportion of young patients with lumbar bone hyperplasia has been increasing. It may also occur in some groups of people who have to sit or stand for long periods of time or maintain the same posture for a long time, such as those working in the IT industry, computer users, teachers, accountants, drivers, typists, handicraft makers, etc., who are prone to lumbar bone hyperplasia.

Direct Relationship

Lumbar vertebrae bone hyperplasia is generally directly related to age, strain, trauma, incorrect posture, etc.

(I) Age factors: Human aging is an irresistible natural law. As age increases, the lumbar spine will inevitably undergo degenerative changes due to exercise wear. Most normal people over 60 years old can be found to have lumbar bone spurs, intervertebral disc narrowing and other degenerative aging phenomena when taking X-rays.

(ii) Strain factors : The degeneration process of the lumbar spine, in addition to changes with age, is also closely related to lumbar strain. If the lumbar spine is stimulated by adverse factors such as repeated strain and excessive activity for a long time, it may accelerate the degeneration of the lumbar spine, causing herniated discs and the formation and continuous enlargement of bone spurs. On the contrary, paying attention to rest and maintenance of the waist can slow down the degeneration of the lumbar spine and the progression of bone spurs.
