When the nerve root compression is obvious, there is also a feeling of muscle weakness, that is, a feeling of weakness in the legs.

It is very likely that the lower leg is sore, and the deficiency is due to kidney deficiency: the calf is soreness and weakness, which is caused by kidney deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine, accompanied by qi deficiency and blood stasis. Usually the kidney essence promotes fatigue, the legs are heavy, the kidney qi is insufficient and causes acidity, the blood flow is blocked and causes swelling, and the blood flow is blocked to cause qi stagnation and blood stasis.

Lumbar disc herniation: Lumbar disc herniation compresses nerve roots, which can easily cause numbness and soreness in the calf.

At this stage, routine blood tests are generally normal. The important purpose of eosinophils is to rise when it decreases little meaning. The average corpuscular volume is quite high, but it is a bit high, but it doesn't matter, it is all about the mean corpuscular concentration to help identify the cause of anemia.

Therefore, the current total hemoglobin concentration (HGB) is quite high, and there is no severe anemia, so these two items are not meaningful. It doesn't matter if the total width of platelet distribution is even greater, the platelet count series only needs to have a normal number of platelets and no obvious bleeding as long as the main manifestations are on the line, and other standard values are meaningless and difficult to test accurately.

People who work on their feet for a long time may also consider wearing compression stockings to prevent the development or progression of varicose veins in the lower extremities. The main causes of varicose veins of the lower limbs are congenital and acquired.

Patients will have obvious sensations of suffocation, numbness, swelling, sleepiness and pain in the lower limbs after strenuous activities and physical labor.

Varicose veins**: The main reason for the formation of varicose veins is due to the congenital vascular wall membrane is relatively weak or the same posture is rarely changed for a long time, blood accumulates in the lower limbs, and the venous valve is damaged over time, resulting in high venous pressure, resulting in the protrusion of blood vessels** surface. "Shanghai Changhang Varicose Vein Hospital's "S-EVLT" Holmium Laser Minimally Invasive Surgery" Quickly Recovers Varicose Veins and Improves Vascular Function Shanghai Changhang Varicose Vein Hospital adopts "S-EVLT" holmium laser minimally invasive surgery, which is currently internationally recognized as the most advanced technology for lower limb varicose veins, and finally occlusion to achieve the purpose of **.

The average volume of red blood cells is not low, but a little high, but it doesn't matter, it and the average red blood cell concentration are both helpful in determining the cause of anemia.

At present, the total hemoglobin (HGB) is not low, and there is no anemia, so these two items are meaningless. As for the width of platelet distribution, it doesn't matter, as long as the number of platelets in the platelet series is normal and there is no obvious bleeding manifestation, other values are of little significance and difficult to detect accurately.
