What happens when a patient experiences numbness in his hands and feet after exertion?

Tired and numb hands may be related to more finger movements, especially wrist movements, resulting in soft tissue congestion and even swelling. Even the onset of old injuries or cumulative injuries in the past may cause tenosynovitis and local fasciitis, resulting in wrist entrapment. The more common is carpal tunnel syndrome, in which the wrist is more active, sometimes causing carpal tunnel syndrome, which refers to the thickening of soft tissues near the transverse carpal ligament, resulting in a decrease in carpal tunnel volume and median nerve compression.

Symptoms include numbness of the thumb, index finger, and half of the middle finger near the thumb, weakness in grasping things, and even muscle atrophy. It is related to more hand activities, such as numbness when the hand is tired, overstrain can also cause overactivity of nearby muscles or soft tissue involvement, compressing nerves and causing hand numbness.

So what's going on with numb hands and swollen hands? The details are as follows:

1. Engaged in manual work for a long time.

Long-term manual work can easily lead to chronic strain of hand cartilage tissue, and symptoms of local pain, numbness, soreness, and limited activity occur, which are harmful to health.

Second, the invasion of wind and cold.

If the patient has symptoms of numbness and swollen hands in the cold winter, it should be considered to be caused by the invasion of wind and cold, because the invasion of wind and cold can easily lead to spasm or contracture of hand muscles, and local swelling, pain, and numbness will appear, which will affect health.

3. Cervical radiculopathy.

Some patients have symptoms of numbness and swollen hands, which may be related to cervical radiculopathy, because cervical radiculopathy is easy to compress and damage the nerves of the hand, causing abnormal symptoms such as local numbness and swelling.

4. Vertebral artery cervical spondylosis.

Vertebral artery cervical spondylosis is mainly caused by improper sleeping posture and neck cold, and the main manifestations after the appearance are neck pain, posterior occipital pain, limited neck movement, paroxysmal vertigo, nausea and vomiting, migraine, hand numbness and hand swelling, visual impairment, palpitations, excessive sweating, dreaminess, etc.

5. Cervical myelopathy.

Cervical myelopathy can also cause patients to have symptoms of numbness and swollen hands, and may also be accompanied by paresthesia, movement disorders, brisk walking, easy falling, staggering gait, increased muscle tone, clumsiness, weakness, etc.

Whether you have been engaged in manual work for a long time or suffer from some kind of cervical spondylosis, it is possible to directly or indirectly damage the nerves in the hand and cause discomfort. It is recommended that after the occurrence of this abnormal symptom, you should immediately seek medical attention to a regular professional hospital, and with the help of a doctor, you can treat the cause and treat the symptoms, eliminate the harm, and restore your health. In addition, during the recovery period of hand numbness and hand swelling, it is also necessary to pay attention to hand protection to avoid re-injury and endanger health.

Hand swelling and numbness are mainly seen in the following aspects:

Clause. 1. For patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity or long-term smoking, sudden swelling and numbness of the hands accompanied by hand pain, at this time, it is necessary to check whether the radial artery or brachial artery of the patient fluctuates, and to consider whether there is embolism of the arteries or veins of the upper limbs, and it is best to do a color ultrasound examination of the blood vessels of the upper limbs.

Clause. 2. If the elderly patient is bedridden for a long time and has swelling and numbness of the hands, at this time, it is necessary to pay attention to the nutritional status of the patient, whether it has caused hypoproteinemia, and the swelling and numbness of the hands caused by hypoproteinemia are mainly based on the swelling and numbness of the limbs, and liver function can be checked to see if the albumin is reduced.

Clause. 3. For young patients with swelling and numbness of the hands, accompanied by morning stiffness, especially in the morning, it is necessary to consider whether there are rheumatic immune-related diseases, and a full set of tests for erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein or rheumatoid can be performed.

1. Arteriosclerosis.

As people get older, their blood circulation begins to deteriorate, and the symptoms of arteriosclerosis gradually appear. One of the most obvious manifestations of arteriosclerosis is the hand and foot approach. Therefore, if the patient often feels numb in the hands and feet, and the patient is over 55 years old, then it is likely to be caused by arteriosclerosis.

2. Cervical spondylosis.

When there is a problem with the cervical spine, it will compress the nerves in the spine. When the nerves in the spine are compressed, they will transmit wrong information to the brain, so people often feel numb in their hands and feet. However, this condition is generally seen in patients with more severe cervical spondylosis.

You can go to the hospital for a X-ray confirmation.

3. Excessive alcohol consumption.

Drinking too much alcohol at one time, or drinking alcohol for a long time, may seriously damage the nervous system, which can induce symptoms of numbness in the hands and feet.

4. Nervous system problems.

When there is a problem with the nervous system, it will directly affect the limbs, and the most obvious manifestation is numbness in the hands and feet. Still others experience pain in the extremities. Nervous system problems are more harmful to people, so once this disease is suspected, it is best to diagnose it in time.

Generally speaking, it is caused by poor blood circulation, and sometimes cervical and lumbar spine diseases can also cause numbness in the hands and feet.

Is it a change in breathing, if it's hyperventilation, excessive carbon dioxide excretion, numbness in the hands and feet? Is there still when it is smooth? When you do this again, cover your mouth and nose and inhale the exhaled carbon dioxide back or tilt your head and inhale deeply, and then exhale slowly and do it twice, which can be relieved, and it will not be a precursor to disease, don't take it lightly, mental illness is not treated, it will transform physical diseases, look at Chinese medicine, it will be good, I wish you happiness.

These symptoms can all be improved by cervical spondylosis.

During this period, you must stop smoking and drinking, avoid taking cold baths, avoid blowing cold wind after sweating, and pay more attention to keeping warm.

The numbness of the hands and feet in the elderly is closely related to cerebral arteriosclerosis, among which small stroke and hypertension cause numbness the most.

The so-called "mini-stroke" is also known as "transient ischemic attack". Due to ischemia of brain tissue, especially the cerebral cortex, the sensory and motor centers of the brain are dysfunctional, resulting in numbness of the limbs in the corresponding parts. Cerebral ischemia can cause numbness in one upper or lower extremity, or in half of the body, usually lasting a few hours to several days.

If not timely**, it can develop into hemiplegia and even life-threatening.

In addition to numbness or weakness in the hands and feet, mini-stroke is also accompanied by dizziness, headache, visual impairment (blurred vision or double vision, etc.), memory loss (especially recent memory loss), and high or low blood pressure. Numbness in the hands and feet is mostly hemilateral, and numbness is common in the thumb or together with the index finger.

When the blood pressure fluctuates or rises, the arterioles of the whole body are spasmed and the arterial lumen is narrowed, which can cause the colloidal blood circulation to be impaired, resulting in insufficient local blood supply to the hands and feet. In addition to numbness in the hands and feet, the patient's limbs may be stiff, ant-walking, and often accompanied by dizziness, headache, dizziness, tinnitus, insomnia and other symptoms. In addition, there is a sudden drop in blood pressure and sometimes numbness in the fingers.

In spring, patients with high blood pressure are more likely to have numbness in the hands and feet, which is mostly related to the dry and cold climate in early spring, which is easy to excite sympathetic nerves and constrict capillaries throughout the body, thus causing an increase in blood pressure. In addition to numbness in the hands and feet, hypertension may sometimes lead to transient cerebral ischemia to cerebral hemorrhage, causing crooked mouth and eyes, paralysis, aphasia, coma, etc., and even death.

Cerebral arteriosclerosis is most common in people over 60 years of age. Therefore, when the elderly have repeated numbness in the hands and feet recently, cerebrovascular diseases should be considered first. Cerebrovascular diseases are often related to blood pressure, blood sugar, blood viscosity, etc.

In order to confirm the diagnosis, patients should go to the hospital to check blood pressure, lipids, blood glucose, fundus and blood rheology, and if necessary, they should be accompanied by X-ray or CT examination. Once the primary disease is diagnosed, targeted ** should be carried out, such as lowering blood pressure, thrombolysis, lowering blood lipids, lowering blood sugar, etc.

Disease analysis: The weakness of the spleen and stomach is mainly manifested as loss of appetite and general fatigue, especially in the afternoon, the whole body is sore, the tongue coating is thick and yellow, the complexion is poor, the waist and knees are sore, and the sleep quality is poor.

Suggestions: In terms of the frontal condition of this situation, it is often caused by neuritis disease or ischemic numbness caused by kidney deficiency and lack of qi and blood. In this case, it is recommended that Chinese medicine ** activate the meridians. Be careful not to catch a cold from exertion.

Yes. It can easily lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.

Cubital tunnel syndrome.

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is entrapped due to increased pressure in the carpal tunnel. The carpal tunnel is a fibrous conduit of bone composed of the carpal bone and the flexor band of the flexor muscles. The former constitutes the radial, ulnar, and dorsal lateral walls of the carpal tunnel, while the latter constitutes the volar lateral wall.

At the top of the carpal tunnel is the flexor band between the hook bone, the triangular bone, and the scaphoid bone on the radial side, and the most horn bones across the ulnar side. The median nerve and flexor tendon pass within the carpal tunnel (flexor pollicis longus tendon, 4 superficial flexor tendons, 4 flexor digitorum deep tendons).

Although the carpal tunnel has an open inlet and outlet at both ends, the intracellular fluid pressure is stable. The narrowest part of the carpal tunnel is approximately 50px from the carpal tunnel margin, an anatomical feature consistent with the median neuromorphological appearance of incision in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. The median nerve runs below the flexor support belt, close to the flexor support belt.

Distal to the flexor support zone, the median nerve gives off a reentry branch that innervates the abductor pollicis brevis muscle, the superficial head of the flexor pollicis brevis brevis, and the palmaris pollicis muscle. Its terminal ramus is a nerve that innervates the radial half of the thumb, flex, middle finger, and ring finger** [2].

Both an increase in the contents of the carpal tunnel and a decrease in the volume of the carpal tunnel can lead to increased pressure in the carpal tunnel. The most common cause of increased pressure in the carpal tunnel is idiopathic peritendinous synovial hyperplasia and fibrosis, the mechanism of which is unknown. Sometimes, other rare cases such as flexor muscle abdomen, synovial inflammation such as rheumatoid, trauma or degeneration leading to abnormal bony structures in the carpal tunnel entrapment nerves, and soft tissue masses in the carpal tunnel such as ganglion cysts.

Excessive finger use, especially repetitive activities such as prolonged mouse use or typing, has been suggested to cause carpal tunnel syndrome, but this view remains controversial. Carpal tunnel syndrome is also more common in pregnant and lactating women, and the mechanism is unknown, but it is thought to be related to tissue edema caused by estrogen changes, but many patients do not have symptoms that resolve after pregnancy.

elbow fracture, elbow valgus deformity, ulnar nerve traction or poor fracture reduction, bone inflatness in the cubital tunnel, and wear and tear of the ulnar nerve; Hemangioma, ganglion cyst and other space-occupying lesions in the cubital canal; Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic diseases such as diabetes, leprosy, etc. can all produce complications of cubital tunnel syndrome.
