What's wrong with my calves?

In people's daily lives, many people experience calf tightness. There are many reasons for this situation, which may be caused by diseases in the brain's blood vessels, problems with the cervical and lumbar vertebrae, or problems with the calf muscles. People need to pay special attention to this situation. Here we will introduce in detail what causes calf pain.

reason:

First: Acute attack - cerebrovascular disease For lower limb weakness, the first thing to consider is whether it is unilateral or bilateral. If it is sudden unilateral limb weakness without pain, cerebrovascular disease should be ruled out, because cerebrovascular disease may cause hemiplegia. In addition, weakness in both lower limbs may also indicate cerebrovascular disease. If you have cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, etc., you must diagnose and treat it in time.

Second: accompanied by pain in the waist and legs - lumbar spinal stenosis. Some elderly people have weak lower limbs and accompanied by pain in the waist and legs, and lumbar spine problems should be considered. Low back and leg diseases are a common disease among the elderly, and they usually feel weak after walking for a while. Lumbar spondylosis may also be caused by gradual protrusion and compression of nerves, accompanied by limb numbness and eventually pain. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up first and then do appropriate exercise. Do not do massage easily to avoid aggravating lumbar injury.

Third: The feeling of walking on cotton - some elderly people with cervical spinal cord disease feel weak in their lower limbs, and they walk like they are walking on cotton, with one step deep and one step shallow. If you sit or stand for a long time, you will feel overwhelmed and as if you may collapse at any time. At this time, you should pay attention to whether it is a problem with the cervical spine and go to the hospital for a Hoffman sign examination. If your legs suddenly become unable to move and you have difficulty urinating, you should consider sudden spinal cord disease. Vertebral compression and damage to the spinal cord can cause motor nerve disorders. If not treated in time, it can lead to paralysis.

The reason why patients with fever experience leg pain is generally related to the fact that after the fever, the motor nerve function is strengthened, causing the skeletal muscles throughout the body to contract, causing leg pain. At the same time, the fever can accelerate the body's metabolism, causing the muscles throughout the body to consume excessive energy, leading to hypoxia and leg pain. Patients are advised to take ibuprofen sustained-release capsules or acetaminophen tablets, cold and heat-clearing granules, antiviral oral liquid, adenosine triphosphate tablets, etc. for active treatment and adjustment.

Precautions

In daily life, you should avoid excessive fatigue and ensure adequate sleep. Keep a good mood and avoid being too nervous and depressed. You should also strengthen your physical exercise to enhance your body's resistance.
