Problem description: Recently, my mother's hands have been numb, and she is still skewering numb on her hands, and if she doesn't twist it right, her hands will be uncomfortable.

Analysis: What is the problem of hand numbness in middle-aged and elderly people?

The most common causes of hand numbness are as follows:

Upper limb nerve entrapment: first, numbness and pain in the thumb, index and middle finger, often with a history of awakening at night, and activities can improve after waking up. In severe cases, it can be accompanied by atrophy of hand muscles, which affects the fine motor skills of the hand, because the median nerve is compressed in the wrist, which is the so-called "carpal tunnel syndrome"; The second is the numbness and pain of the ring and little finger, and there may also be a history of numbness awakening at night, and in severe cases, it is accompanied by muscle atrophy, and the flexion force of the ring and little finger decreases, affecting fine movements.

This is because the nerve is entrapped in the elbow, the so-called "cubital tunnel syndrome".

Cervical spondylosis: The most common disease that causes hand numbness is cervical spondylosis, which is one of the most common diseases in middle-aged and elderly people. When people enter middle age, with the increase of age, some organs tend to degenerate, when the cervical intervertebral disc degenerates, it often leads to cervical intervertebral disc herniation or joint sudden hyperplasia or hypertrophy, these herniated cervical intervertebral discs or hypertrophic articular processes once compress the adjacent cervical nerve roots, cervical spondylosis occurs.

In addition to numbness and paresthesia in the fingers, cervical spondylosis is accompanied by other symptoms, such as: neck and shoulder muscle soreness, radiating pain in the upper limbs or mobility disorders. It is not difficult to diagnose cervical spondylosis, as long as an X-ray is taken.

In addition, there is a simple way to check for cervical spondylosis, a person holds the head of the affected side, holds the upper limb of the affected side with one hand, abducts it by 90°, and pushes and pulls both hands in the opposite direction at the same time.

Stroke: Another common condition that causes numbness in the hands is stroke. "Hygiene Treasure Stroke" once said:

Mortals who are numb or insensitive to the first finger or the second finger will have a stroke within three years. "It must be prevented: it is advisable to live cautiously, eat sparingly, be far away, and be ambitious.

Although numbness of the fingers does not necessarily cause stroke, for middle-aged people over the age of 40, if they often have symptoms such as headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, numbness of limbs, and swollen tongue, and the patient usually has hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, cerebral arteriosclerosis and other diseases, they should pay more attention and be alert to the occurrence of stroke.

Menopausal syndrome: In addition, women who enter menopause sometimes have numbness in their hands, but it is not obvious, and with the end of menopause, the numbness will disappear.

In short, to confirm the diagnosis of hand numbness symptoms, it is necessary to refer to auxiliary examinations such as cervical spine radiographs and electromyography to confirm the diagnosis. If the symptoms are obvious and there is obvious atrophy of the inner muscles of the hand, surgery should be taken in time to prevent the development of the disease, so as not to cause irreversible severe atrophy of the intrinsic muscles of the hand, resulting in serious dysfunction of the hand.

The causes of hand numbness are divided into physiological causes and pathological causes. Hand numbness caused by physiological causes can be relieved in a short time, and pathological hand numbness includes cervical spondylosis, cerebral infarction, diabetes and osteoarthropathy.

Under physiological conditions, hand numbness is caused by poor blood circulation at the end of the hand, and the local blood supply to the hand is insufficient and numbness occurs. Hand numbness is a common symptom in daily life, such as hand compression and holding the hand in the same position for a long time. The numbness in the hands caused by these causes will generally disappear in a short period of time and will not be a major problem.

Cervical spondylosis: due to cervical hypertrophy or cervical disc degeneration and herniation compressing the cervical nerve root or cervical spinal cord, it can cause unilateral or bilateral numbness in the hand, and gradually progress to the upper arm, forearm, and even upper limb mobility disorder.

Cerebral infarction: It is mostly caused by cerebral atherosclerosis, and is often combined with chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. Hand numbness can be a precursor and sequelae of cerebral infarction.

Diabetes mellitus: long-term poor blood sugar control can cause peripheral neuropathy, which is mainly manifested by numbness and pain at the ends of the limbs, and there may be a feeling of pins and needles, burning or ants crawling, and it is usually more severe in the lower limbs than in the upper limbs.

Osteoarthropathy: It is a chronic joint disease characterized by local articular cartilage degeneration, bone loss, bone spur formation at the joint margin, joint deformity and subchondral bone density. Long-term onset can cause damage to the peripheral nerves of the bones and joints, which can cause symptoms of numbness in the hands.

If the numbness in your hands does not relieve for a long time, please go to a regular hospital in time and the doctor will find out the cause.

Hello, the most common disease that causes hand numbness is cervical spondylosis, which is one of the diseases that are common among middle-aged and elderly people. In addition, women who enter menopause sometimes have numbness in their hands, but it is not obvious, and with the end of menopause, the numbness will disappear. Once the symptoms of hand numbness appear, as long as the diagnosis is timely, there can be different degrees of improvement.

In short, to confirm the diagnosis of hand numbness symptoms, it is necessary to refer to auxiliary examinations such as cervical spine radiographs and electromyography to confirm the diagnosis.

If your hands are numb every day, there should be a problem with the cervical spine, which compresses the nervous system and causes the nerve circulation to be unobstructed, resulting in numbness in the hands.

If there is often hand numbness, most of this situation is caused by cervical spondylosis, cervical hyperplasia compresses the nerve, it is recommended to go to the hospital to improve the relevant examinations to clarify the diagnosis, and after the diagnosis, it can be relieved by local hot compresses and massage physiotherapy, and it is necessary to maintain a correct sitting posture.

If it's a regular occurrence, it's best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Playing too much on computers and mobile phones, right?!

What's wrong with frequent numbness? It is roughly related to 4 situations, and you may wish to compare it with self-testing.

Numbness and convulsions are common clinical symptoms, paresthesias include hyperesthesia, hypoesthesia and loss of sensation, the cause of numbness can be local injury, such as trauma, etc., or nerve and vascular lesions, which need to be examined to rule out cervical spondylosis, metabolic diseases, such as excessive alcohol intake, etc., convulsions may be caused by low calcium, or just colds and other triggers, and also pay attention to nervous system diseases, local lesions of the cerebral cortex, etc. You can go to the neurology department for a check-up first.

It may be a cervical spine problem, I used to have this phenomenon when I was in school, I went to the hospital to check, the doctor said that the cervical spine is a little deformed, compressing the blood vessels around the neck, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain, so there will be headaches, arm numbness. However, arm numbness can also be caused by reduced activity. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up, because a long period of insufficient blood supply to the brain can lead to intelligence and memory loss, which is not conducive to learning!

It's also easier to ** early, maybe a simple massage can solve it! But you must go to a regular hospital for a massage, and the so-called "doctor" outside is more credible!

The common causes of numbness in the hands are as follows:

1. Patients with cervical spondylosis, hyperplasia of the cervical spine compresses the brachial plexus and upper limb blood vessels, affecting the blood of the hand**. Clause.

2. In patients with cerebral hemorrhage, when the intracranial hematoma compresses the limb sensory center, the cranial nerve of the limb sensory center is damaged, which affects the limb sensory function. Clause.

3. In patients with cerebral infarction, when the infarct focus is located in the limb sensory center, the blood supply is blocked, ischemia and hypoxia occur, and the limb sensory central nervous system appears necrosis and edema, which will lead to hand numbness. Clause.

4. In patients with wrist injuries, hematoma compresses the blood vessels and nerves of the wrist, resulting in insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the hand, resulting in carpal tunnel syndrome. Clause.

5. In patients with intracranial masses, when the intracranial tumor compresses the sensory center of the hand, it will lead to ischemia, hypoxia and necrosis of the nerve of the sensory center of the hand, affecting the sensory function of the hand and causing numbness.

Hand numbness is a common symptom of hand disorders and often indicates nerve entrapment in the upper extremities, mainly due to nerve entrapment in the upper extremities, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

2. Cervical spondylosis, which is the most common cause of hand numbness**When the cervical intervertebral disc herniation compresses the adjacent nerve roots, symptoms such as numbness and paresthesia will occur.

Stroke is also another common disease that causes hand numbness, for middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, cerebral arteriosclerosis and other diseases, should pay more attention to the occurrence of stroke.

Menopausal syndrome, women who enter menopause sometimes have hand numbness, but it is not obvious, and with the end of menopause, the phenomenon of hand numbness will gradually disappear. Diabetic patients are also prone to numbness in their hands and feet, such as wearing gloves and socks. In short, the diagnosis of hand numbness symptoms needs to be combined with cervical spine radiograph, electromyography and other auxiliary examinations to confirm the diagnosis.

Nowadays, most young people are some white-collar office workers, and their work is related to computers, so they often sit in front of the computer for a day. Cervical spondylosis is very uncomfortable, she will compress other parts of the body, discomfort, some people in the morning after getting up, if they feel their hands numb, in fact, it is also very related to cervical spondylosis. Therefore, you should pay more attention to exercise and do not sit for a long time.

For patients with cerebral ischemia, most of their initial symptoms are hand numbness, especially after waking up. This is because during sleep, our blood flow becomes slow, and the blood is thicker, which makes it easy for blood clots to occur, resulting in hand numbness. In this case, in addition to being highly vigilant and seeking medical attention in time, you should drink more water at ordinary times, and take some drugs to reduce blood viscosity according to the doctor's instructions to prevent thrombosis, improve cerebral blood supply and relieve the symptoms of numbness.

In the later stages of diabetes, peripheral neuropathy will appear, mainly showing the feeling of a glove-like or sock-like wrist, and hand numbness. If you want to control your blood sugar, you need to control it with food and adjust it with exercise to ensure that your blood sugar is stable and does not cause complications such as neuropathy. For those diabetic patients who have developed this neuropathy, they should supplement vitamin B12, B1, B6, vitamin C, etc. according to the doctor's instructions in time, and can also use some drugs such as Danhong and Chuanxiong to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

Vitamin B1 deficiency due to digestive problems can also cause numbness in the hands. At this time, it is relatively easy, and only vitamin B1 supplementation is needed to effectively relieve symptoms.

If you are accustomed to sleeping in the prone position for a long time, or if your neck is deviated, resulting in compression of the brachial nerve, you will also experience hand numbness. We only need to change our sleeping position or correct our body to effectively alleviate the symptoms. Some patients with carpal tunnel syndrome will also have hand numbness symptoms due to nerve compression, and the compression should be relieved in time for comprehensive treatment.

In summary, hand numbness can also be a transient physiological reaction, and it may also be caused by disease. In short, there is no trivial matter in numbness, I hope you will pay more attention and adjust in time, so as not to miss the best opportunity.

This numbness in the hands really needs our attention, in addition to the possibility of stroke, but also because of cervical spondylosis.

It may be that you have very small particles in your veins, and if you smoke, you should quit. If you stay in a chemical plant or a dusty place for a long time, you will inhale harmful substances to your body.

Hand numbness is generally one of the clinical symptoms caused by cerebral hemorrhage, stroke, traumatic brain injury, cervical spondylosis, upper limb fractures, hormonal imbalances and other primary diseases. For different primary diseases, the best methods adopted are also different.

It's nerves. You sleep with your head on your hands. The blood flow to the hands is blocked. So it leads to numbness. But only temporarily. The blood will flow after a while.

Hello, according to what you said, frequent numbness in the hands should be caused by poor blood circulation or nerve compression, most of which are caused by cervical spondylosis compressing the nerves. You should go to a regular public hospital for cervical spine MRI examination to make a clear diagnosis, and you can take traditional Chinese medicine traction, massage, closure and other methods**, with vitamin B1 and other drugs for **.

Always numb hands, if you have not suffered trauma, it may be caused by cervical spondylosis, you should pay attention to it, go to the hospital as soon as possible to check it, as soon as possible.

Peripheral neuropathy, cervical spondylosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, upper limb nerve entrapment, multiple peripheral neuritis, etc.

Teach you a way to dredge the meridian acupuncture points, assist in conditioning, and have a good effect on general finger numbness.

Go to the hospital for a check-up and be careful of the stroke blocking the blood vessels.

What's wrong with frequent numbness? It is roughly related to 4 situations, and you may wish to compare it with self-testing.

It is possible that the cervical spine is pressing on the nerves.

Check it out. Don't be careless.
