Is it normal that I can't cross my legs?

People will feel very tired after standing for a long time, and a comfortable sitting posture will relieve physical fatigue in time. Sitting with legs crossed is a very common sitting posture, but this sitting posture is generally not allowed in front of the public, as it will affect one's personal image. However, some people find that they cannot cross their legs when sitting, but they don't know what causes this situation. So, is it normal not to be able to cross your legs?

First, is it normal not to be able to cross your legs? In fact, the inability to put your legs together has nothing to do with upbringing. It is a disease! This disease is called gluteal muscle contracture. In some economically underdeveloped areas, people born in the 1980s are the most common. Because I was sick when I was a child, I always had to get injections in my butt. The drug will stimulate the area above the outside of the buttocks, causing the muscles in this area to gradually harden and lose elasticity. In mild cases, it means you can't cross your legs, but in severe cases, it affects the movement of the hip joint and even makes it impossible to sit normally. If you're still not sure if this is the problem, just do one move to test it. Keep your feet and knees together, then squat down. If you can squat down, then there's nothing wrong. If your knees have to separate while squatting, then the disease can basically be confirmed. Of course, you don’t need to worry too much if you have gluteal muscle contracture. If it is mild or the symptoms are not obvious, you don’t need to treat it. But if you feel that the posture is too ugly or you can’t sit properly and it affects your life, a minimally invasive surgery can quickly solve the problem.

Second, both the traditional surgical method and the minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery we are currently using are very effective. After practicing for 10 days to 1 month after the operation, you will be able to squat with your knees together. As for scars, which are of most concern to girls, we currently use imported absorbable sutures for intradermal cosmetic sutures, which not only eliminates the need to remove sutures but also reduces scar proliferation. And as time goes by, the scar will become more blurred, and the surgery site is relatively hidden, so it will basically not be discovered. Is it normal not to be able to cross your legs? Gluteal muscle contracture is a common disease caused by the degeneration and contracture of the gluteal muscles and their fascia fibers, which causes hip abduction, external rotation contracture deformity and hip flexion disorder. It is called gluteal muscle contracture syndrome. Lu Wei, director of the Sports Medicine Department of Shenzhen Second People's Hospital, said that if a person walks with their feet turned outward, cannot squat with their knees together, has popping sounds in the hip joint when walking, running or jumping, has empty muscles on the outside of the buttocks as if there are two depressions, and cannot cross their legs, etc. Then, you should pay attention, because you may be suffering from "gluteal muscle contracture".

Is it normal not to be able to cross your legs? It is very normal. Most scholars believe that the occurrence of gluteal muscle contracture is related to gluteal muscle injection. Due to the trauma of acupuncture and the stimulation of chemical reactions of drugs, traumatic and chemical fasciitis and myofibromusculoskeletal inflammation are caused, fibrous tissue proliferates, and fascia thickens and contracts. Congenital and genetic factors: Some studies believe that some gluteal muscle contracture is caused by congenital gluteal muscle hypoplasia, which has genetic factors. Immunosuppression, hip muscle infection. Trauma: Trauma can cause adhesion of muscle fascia tissue, fiber degeneration, affect extensibility, and cause symptoms of gluteal muscle contracture. Hip muscle atrophy: Non-pathological muscle atrophy can achieve very good rehabilitation effects through exercise therapy. Early intervention may even improve muscle function.
