Each person has had such moments in life when his legs are taken away. A person in this situation is frightened, panic. Slight numbness of the extremities may be due to compression of a nerve or blood vessel. In this case, it is enough to change the position of the body and after a few minutes the unpleasant sensation will pass.
But if the legs are taken away often enough, then this is one of the symptoms of a serious illness. In this situation, you need to make an appointment with a therapist and a neurologist. It doesn’t matter if arms or legs are taken away. The first thing a doctor will advise you to do is to take a blood test for sugar. Numbness can be a sign of diabetes. Progressing, this disease disrupts the activity of all nerve endings. This is the reason that the legs are taken away. If you have diabetes, then prescribe treatment to normalize the work of the whole body.
The following, for the presence of any diseases you are tested for, is the presence of pathological conditions in the body, for example, the spine or diseases such as osteochondrosis and rheumatoid arthritis. The last inflammatory diseases are characterized not only by stiffness of the joints, but also by pain in the periarticular regions and numbness of the limbs. With osteochondrosis, the condition of the vertebrae is unstable, which causes their displacement. In severe cases, it will be necessary to immobilize a certain part of the spine, as well as the use of drugs that affect the mineral metabolism in bone or cartilage. The excellent results in this case are shown by the use of manual therapy.
The next reason leading to numbness of the extremities is overstrain and severe static overload of certain muscles of the spine. When the body is in a wrong position for a long time (which is typical during sleep or working at a computer), muscle spasm and nerve endings are squeezed in this area. If this is the only reason, then it will be enough to organize your workplace correctly and change the mode of work, taking small breaks.
Symptom when the legs are taken away is possible in the presence of vascular diseases of the extremities (thrombophlebitis, varicose veins). These diseases can be accompanied by numbness of the lower extremities. The stronger the disease is started, the more often the legs are taken away. In this case, it will be necessary to diagnose the state of the vessels using MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), and in severe cases, surgical intervention.
Numbness of the legs and hands in the cold season indicates the presence of Reine syndrome. Pay attention to breathing. If it is frequent and superficial, then oxygen does not have time to reach the limbs. It is necessary to breathe smoothly, deeply and calmly. This contributes to a good saturation of the whole body with sufficient oxygen.
When the legs are taken away, a massage of the lumbosacral spine and legs can be a salvation. Also, swimming in the pool and physiotherapy exercises give a good result. It is required to exclude stressful situations, move more and breathe fresh air, adjust nutrition and try not to give the body more loads. It is required to limit or completely quit smoking, as it gives an additional load on the vessels and provokes spasms.
From alcoholic beverages and very strong tea or coffee, you also have to abstain. It is necessary to include foods rich in potassium, magnesium, iron in the diet and try to eat warm food. If there is a lack of simple clean water on the menu or taking diuretics, dehydration can occur , which will lead to a condition when the legs are removed. Water should be drunk without various impurities and gases.
And the most important thing is to learn how to relax. After all, many painful conditions of the body - from a shattered nervous system. In cases where the body does not lack vitamins, high immunity is calm in the soul, no disease is terrible.
