Legs should always be kept warm - our grandmothers tried to explain this law to us. Otherwise, problems cannot be avoided, moreover, with a variety of organs (kidneys, bladder, etc.). And besides this, cold is also the most popular reason that fingers are brought together. This feeling often accompanied many of us in childhood if we had to walk outside for a long time. However, childhood has long passed, but the problem of seizures in the limbs is still relevant for some.
Why did they bring their toes together?
There can be several answers to this question. Of course, if the phenomenon is one-time and occurred during sleep or because of the immobility of the body for a long time, it is not worth worrying especially. It is enough to move your foot so that after 5 minutes the cramp has passed.
Often this behavior of the fingers is typical for people who tolerate very large loads. In case the tension is on the legs, the muscles on them can be reduced, even as small as the muscles of the feet. Especially often this pathology is found among runners and football players. And, of course, it is not uncommon among dancers and ballet soloists. By the way, they have loads - this is not the only reason why they
brought their toes together. Ordinary shoes can also contribute to this. In the case of ballerinas, cramps are affected by prolonged wearing of pointe shoes, which in their structure transfer all weight to the fingers. And for dancers, shoes usually have a narrowed toe and heel, because of which limbs also suffer.
The reason for the wardrobe
The same reason can explain why it cramps the toes of ordinary people. Not always a person chooses high-quality, comfortable and suitable shoes.
Due to the narrow or narrow pad, the nerve endings in the fingers may be pinched. By the way, when pointed-toe pumps came into fashion , the number of complaints of cramps increased sharply. Due to the fact that the nose of such shoes is extremely narrow, a lot of pressure is put on the forefoot, because of which it brings the big toe - it just rests against the “tip” of the shoe.
Medical reasons
If you exclude the above causes of cramps of the lower extremities, then you should think about problems with your health. The fact is that the fingers can be symptoms of disorders of the circulatory system or problems with nerve endings. Also, sometimes this phenomenon is associated with certain diseases. Why did they bring their toes together? The main medical reasons are as follows:
- rheumatoid arthritis,
- polyneuropathy,
- diabetes,
- hypertension
- tunnel syndrome
- microstroke,
- multiple sclerosis.
It can also be a sign of vascular pathologies, vegetative-vascular dystonia, as well as a manifestation of osteochondrosis or vertebral hernia. If at least one of these diseases is already on your track record, then the cause of the seizures is found. If not, this is an occasion to consult a qualified doctor.
Also remember what medications you are taking - finger cramps are among the side effects of some medications designed to treat asthma.
Tip
Well, if it happens in the winter, then, perhaps, the reason is vitamin deficiency - with a lack of vitamin D, as well as calcium and magnesium, it can well bring your toes together. Try to include greens, nuts and cottage cheese in your diet. Beans, buckwheat and fruits will also be good.
Now you can independently figure out why you brought your toes together. But in any case, if there is a health problem, then you should consult a doctor.
