What's going on when my feet feel numb

If your feet are numb, you should pay attention to the cause, because if you have cervical or lumbar spine diseases, it can also easily cause numbness in your hands and feet, such as common cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation and other diseases. Therefore, it is recommended to pay attention to the prevention and treatment of these diseases.

1. Cause

Numbness in the hands and feet caused by cervical and lumbar spondylosis is numbness in the upper limbs and legs caused by cervical and lumbar spondylosis. This scattered numbness in the limbs occurs when local nerves are stimulated. Such as cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, etc. Intervertebral disc compression of nerves can cause difficulty in movement and even incontinence. This falls under the category of cervical and lumbar spondylosis. Depending on the situation, you need to see a cervical and lumbar specialist, take a CT or MRI, and have the expert confirm the diagnosis and then specify the treatment plan.

2. Others

People with qi and blood deficiency often suffer from numbness in their legs and feet. The fundamental reason for numbness is the obstruction of blood circulation. Over time, cells are not supplied with enough oxygen. Once the blood flows back, some nerves will become numb. In addition to certain circulatory disorders, the cause of this symptom may be a lack of vitamin C. Or people with anemia generally have a lower blood oxygen supply capacity, so you need to go to the hospital for a check-up. It may be iron deficiency anemia.

3. Diagnosis

The second is that if you suffer from numbness caused by diabetes, neuritis or medication, you should go to the neurology department for treatment and adopt appropriate treatment methods after diagnosis. Numbness of hands and feet caused by chemical agents or compression of nerves due to cerebral thrombosis requires hospitalization.

Occasional numbness of the hands and feet is a normal phenomenon. If the numbness of the hands and feet occurs frequently or persistently, you should be alert. Based on your own situation, choose the appropriate department to see a doctor. In your life, you must be alert to numbness of the hands and feet caused by cervical and lumbar spondylosis, and diagnose and treat it early.

4. Causes of cervical spondylosis

Numbness of the hands and feet caused by the cervical spine may be caused by bone hyperplasia in the cervical spine compressing the cervical spinal nerves, leading to numbness of the hands and feet. If the cervical spinal cord is indeed compressed, traction or drugs to treat bone hyperplasia and neurotrophic drugs can be used. If the compression is severe and drug treatment and conservative treatment are ineffective, multi-faceted minimally invasive treatment should be used.
