Numbness in the feet and toes on the left, right, loss of balance: the causes of diabetes, after chemotherapy, laser. Treating someone passed, folk remedies

Tingling in the feet or toes, numbness, arise from the uncomfortable position: the vessels was transferred by the blood does not flow in full to the extremities. If a change of posture relieves discomfort, then nothing to worry about. If the feet warm and a change in body position do not give a positive result, and a feeling of tightness is constantly proclaimed, it is necessary to consult a doctor.

What diseases lead to numbness in the feet

Numbness stop signal is speaking development of the disease state requiring treatment to the expert:

• Neuroma. Wearing uncomfortable shoes or high loads on the foot leads to the fact that the nervous tissue between the third and fourth toes is growing, that may give tingling, burning and numbness in foot.
• tumor formation brain and spinal cord may be expressed in a variety of syndromes, including numbness of the feet and the inability to recognize the temperature of the water, as the foot numb.
• Multiple sclerosis. Numbness may be the first sign of MS, because the disease leads to disturbances of the nervous tissue functions.
  
• osteochondrosis. When the curvature of the spine numb feet occurs during lesion in the lumbar spine.

Sciatica

Sciatica - jamming of one or more spinal nerve roots, which consists of the sciatic nerve, located along the back of the thigh.

Entrapment leads to pain in the gluteal muscles, passing to the rear of the thigh, and foot.

Hernia in the lumbar, low back pain, cancer, injuries - causes jamming. These diseases and lead to malfunction of the circulatory system, blood is not able to freely move in the bloodstream, broken limbs supply of oxygen, which leads to the lower leg and woodiness sole.

tunnel neuropathy

Numbness in the feet and toes when tunnel neuropathy - a result of micro traumas in the joint areas. If the injured ankle, there is a pinched nerve roots, resulting in pain in the injured foot and numbness.

Stroke

Numbness in the feet and toes are not only a consequence but also the symptoms of a stroke and minor stroke. Short-term loss of sensitivity in conjunction with speech disorders (often indistinct), the weakness of the upper and lower limbs, dizziness talk about Pre-stroke state of development, which requires immediate medical treatment help.

The reason stroke - cerebral vascular spasms, which leads to disruption of blood flow to certain areas of the brain, and tissue death.

Raynaud's disease

It is necessary to distinguish between Raynaud's disease and Raynaud's syndrome. Raynaud's disease is not due to any disease. High stress or exposure to cold reduce blood flow to the fingers, toes lowered temperature spazmiruyutsya vessels, which leads to loss of sensitivity.

There are 3 stages of the disease:

• first stage is accompanied by bursting pain, short-term numbness and pale skin of fingers (less likely to suffer nose, ears).
• On the second stage color changes from pale blue of the Marmara, the fingers swollen, the pain intensifies.
• third step accompanied by the appearance of wounds, and in the absence of treatment - tissue death.

Treatment for Raynaud's disease is to eliminate the reasons: avoiding stressful situations and work in conditions of low temperature. Often prescribed sedatives, medications, blood thinners to improve blood flow and antispasmodics, eliminating the feeling of numbness.

Raynaud's syndrome is not an independent disease, but stems from existing disease statesWhich are accompanied by blood flow disorder. Because of the weak blood supply to the limb loses oxygen and nutrients. In this case, for elimination of Raynaud's syndrome necessary treatment of the underlying disease.

pneumatic hammer disease

Vibration disease is an occupational disease that affects people who regularly found in elevated area vibration loads: miners, truck drivers, machinists, workers in construction, metallurgy, mineral extraction resources.

Jackhammers, asphalt, drills and other tools, to create a high fluctuations, long-term impact on employee lead to disruption of blood flow, decreased sensitivity of the whole body or individual sections directly contacting instruments.

endarteritis

Occlusive disease - a pathology of the arteries, which consists in plugging the connective tissue of arterial lumen.

Smoking - the main cause of endarteritis, as a result of addiction vascular system of the lower extremities is inflamed, the place of healthy tissue comes the connection, which is gradually growing on the inner walls and can completely block the blood by way of the bloodstream to footsteps.

At the first stage the following symptoms:

• recurrent "goose bumps";
• cold feet;
• pale skin;
• and bluish brittle toenails;
• fast fatiguability;

In the second period in the development of disease symptoms are added to said cramps in the calves, which prevent movement and affect the gait. If untreated, it leads to endarteritis foot gangrene.

varicose veins

toes lose sensitivity, feet numb with varicose veins, arising due to the heavy load on the legs or weak vascular system. Workers are forced to regularly and continuously to be "on his feet" (eg, teachers, salespeople, surgeons) and unable to move actively for a long time, are at risk.

Lack of motion leads to the formation of protruding nodules filled with stagnant blood, limbs poorly supplied with oxygen, which leads to discomfort.

Diabetes

Diabetes is expressed in violation of the balance of sugar and insulin in the blood, it adversely affects the health of the circulatory system. Diabetics often suffer from skin fungal and bacterial infections. High blood sugar damages nerves and blood vessels that disrupts blood flow and the transmission of nerve impulses from the brain to the organs.

desensitization leads to the fact that small wounds and lesions on the feet for a long time remain undetected and untreated. The injured site is inflamed, due to poor blood flow organism may not independently cope with infection, purulent complications start, often leading to the formation diabetic foot.

Atherosclerosis

Numbness in the feet and toes in atherosclerosis due to the fact that the veins and arteries are affected by layers on the walls of cholesterol plaques, consisting of "bad" cholesterol (low density). Atherosclerotic plaques interfere with the free movement of liquid through the bloodstream.

The high content of harmful cholesterol in the blood leads to increased blood viscosity.

Thick blood the heart is pushing hard, the heart muscle wear out faster, and small capillaries, which are imbued with the toes, not receive adequate blood volume, since the heart is unable to bring the blood to toes and feet for the smallest the struck atherosclerosis capillaries. As a result of lack of oxygen and nutrients lower limbs are losing sensitivity.

venous thrombosis

Venous thrombosis occurs when the internal wall of veins and vascular inflammation suffered after which originated scar replaced the healthy tissue. Scar has a rough surface, for which cling present in blood clots.

As a result of regular layers is expanded vein clot formed visible eye (thrombophlebitis) or hidden deeper (thrombosis) assembly - thrombus.

Thrombosis may be the result of smoking, diabetes, atherosclerosis, sitting in a pose of "foot to foot", wearing uncomfortable shoes and tight bandages after injuries.

At the site of tissue deformation is a sharp reduction in the blood flow rate, which also increases the risk of layers on the inner wall of the vein. Thrombophlebitis problem visible to the naked eye, as the bluish protruding veins stand out under the skin. For suspected deep vein thrombosis for diagnosis requires extensive medical examination.

injuries

tingling feeling shivers running around often observed in injuries of the foot:

• Fracture of the foot or tibia may lead to disruption of the nervous system in the damaged portion. If the fracture is comminuted, then there is a danger of damage to the nerve fragment of bone.
• For prolonged compression of the tissues occurs crush syndrome, often occurring when hit by a blockage in times of emergency or accident in a car accident.
• Bruising of the lower leg or foot. These parts of the body is almost not protected by muscle and adipose tissue that cushion the blows, even a slight bruise can lead to loss of sensation and numbness of the foot.

Hypothermia and frostbite

Subcooling of the foot may occur due to wearing shoes with thin soles in the cold season, because long time in cold water (for example, while fishing).

Subcooling causes vasoconstriction, decreased body temperature: pale skin, a sensation of tingling, numbness, spasms. During hypothermia rarely suffers any particular area of ​​the body, it affects the overall health and lowering the entire body temperature.

After phase of vasoconstriction occurs reflex expansion, at this time you need to keep warm, or perhaps prolonged sensitivity disorder.

Frostbite of supercooling differs more severe consequences, since there is a violation of local tissue structures. Most often suffer from fingers and toes, as badly supplied with blood while being in direct contact with the frosty air.

Distinguish 4 degrees of frostbite: tingling of the skin and pallor of the first phase until complete necrosis of the skin at the final stage.

Causes numbness in my toes

Disease	Factors causing numbness
chilblain	Violation occurs tissue structures and their extinction.
diabetic foot	the overall decrease in sensitivity occurs in violation of the vascular system. Minor wounds and abrasions, inflamed long go unnoticed, leading to inflammation and infection.
endarteritis	Occlusive disease is a consequence of inflammation of the inner wall of the vessel, after which on the affected portion of the circulatory system increases scar tissue plugging vascular lumen.
Raynaud's disease	The disease occurs as a result of frequent spasms vessels, which leads to violations of the limb circulation.
pneumatic hammer disease	Regular exposure to vibrations on the body leads to disruption in the work of the cardiovascular system.
Morton's neuroma	The increased load on the foot causes inflammation of the nerve, which is located between the toes.

Why numb leg on one side: right, left

Cause numbness in a limb frequently performs long stay in one position, with emphasis on one leg. This is not dangerous.

However, there are conditions when the numbness of one of the legs is a sign of the development of the disease:

• low back pain;

  

• hernia;
• swelling;
• polyneuropathy;
• heel spur;
• disorders of blood circulation.

Why there is numbness of the legs with a herniated disc?

Numbness of one foot with a hernia due to the fact that there is a pinched nerve on the right or the left. Since most people are right-handed, the main burden falls on the right side of the body, so there is often a hernia on the right. Between the individual vertebrae are fibro-cartilaginous tissue (intervertebral disks) required for cushioning the motion.

The disc consists of a nucleus pulposus (gelled), a dense fibrous ring and the cartilage layer.

A hernia occurs when the anulus break due to the displacement of the nucleus pulposus. Ectopic core compresses the nerve ending, which leads to pain at the site of occurrence of hernia and loss of limb sensitivity.

Numbness after laser treatment

During laser operation occurs varicosity bonding inner walls of the affected veins, which leads to the cessation of blood supply vein. In place of bonding formed scar, which for some time there is pressure-sensitive. Spike vein leads to a reduction of its length, whereupon the feeling of tension may occur in the operated position.

During the procedure, may be affected and damaged nerves smaller than explains temporal desensitization to the restoration of nerve impulses.

Numbness after chemotherapy

Weakness in hands and feet - a side effect after administration of potent drugs during treatment of malignant neoplasms.

Many drugs have a detrimental effect on the nerve endings, which leads to numbness and reduce sensitivity.

effective medicines

Often numbness is the result of other diseases (diabetes, hernia, varicose). Then treatment is impossible without numbness therapy pathology provoked by the problem.

Medications that fight the causes of the state:

• "Aktovegin" is used to stimulate the blood circulation.
• For removal of vasospasm applies "No-spa", "papaverine" and "Atropine".
• For pain relief and inflammation used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs short actions ( "Ibuprofen", "Indomethacin", "naproxen") and prolonged ( "Sulindac," "piroxicam" "Ketoprofen").

physiotherapy

Physiotherapy treatment can start the processes of self-regulation and the update of the body:

• cold Therapy. Cold, acting on the body portions suffering from sensitivity loss, muscle relaxant, eliminates spasms and cramps.
• Laser therapy renders restorative effect on tissue regeneration process starts the cells, stimulate metabolic processes in cells.
• magnetotherapy has a general stimulating effect on the organism, increases efficiency, improved health, normal work of muscles.
• Massage It restores the physiological processes in the body, relieves pain, restores sensitivity.
  
• electrophoresis. It stimulates nerve endings, removing the discomfort.

Physiotherapeutic treatment in the presence of underlying disease only relieves the discomfort, the treatment must be complex, to eliminate the causes numbness.

Recipes of traditional medicine

Traditional medicine successfully struggles with the loss of sensitivity of feet, removing pain, cramps, burning:

1. Ointment on the basis of rosemary. 2 tablespoons of powder from the dried leaves of rosemary, 5 tablespoons of unrefined sunflower oil. Mix the ingredients, put the 12 hours in a warm place, stirring occasionally. After infusion strain, rubbed twice a day in the affected area.
2. Tincture of leaves of Kalanchoe. Capacitance half volume of 0.5 liters of crushed leaves fill, fill to the top with 70% alcohol, in to remove the dark cool place occasionally turning jar. Rub before bed. Infusion quickly relieves pain, numbness treated up to 4 months.
   
3. Infusion from black radish. 1.5 cup radish juice, 0.5 vodka cup, 1 tablespoon salt. Store in a cool place. Rub after a bath or hot tubs.
4. Ointment from honey and onions. Honey 300 g, 2 onions, minced. Rub before bed and leave overnight.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy has shown good results in the fight against such illnesses, provoking numbness in the feet, such as:

• dystonia;
• nervous system diseases;
• paralysis.

Use of a long time medicaments containing small doses of active agent or drug plant on an individual scheme, gives good results in the fight against loss of sensitivity limbs.

preparations:

• "Lycopodium" It is struggling with numbness of hands and feet, which is a consequence of heart disease.
• "Magnesia sulfirika" eliminates tingling sensation running.
• "Magnesia phosphorica" returns sensitivity of the fingertips.
• "Eskuljus kompozitum" strengthens vein walls, improves blood circulation, relieves spasms.
• "Nervoheel" restores the nerves, improves the transmission of nerve impulses.

Do I need surgery for numbness of the toes?

Numbness in the feet and toes are rarely require surgical intervention. Most often used complex sparing treatment that combines techniques of traditional and folk medicine connectivity physiotherapy and lifestyle adjustment.

Surgery require conditions such as varicose veins, a herniated disc, a malignant tumor of the spine.

Removal of numbness - a consequence of surgical intervention when dealing with the underlying disease. Without surgery can not do, and severe cases of frostbite and diabetic foot when developing gangrene and tissue necrosis. In such cases, amputation of a limb or finger is needed to save the patient's life.

prevention

If the numbness is not due to a serious illness, it is easy to remove it by performing some simple guidelines:

• do not wear uncomfortable shoes;
• to sit in the correct position;
• to live an active lifestyle;
  
• balanced feed;
• do not abuse alcohol and smoking;
• undergo medical examinations and medical examinations in due time;
• not to overload the spine.

Forecast

In most cases, treatment of numbness is straightforward, allowing a wide range of methods successfully and quickly eliminate the discomfort, restoring the sensitivity of tissues, and feet performance.

Timely access to a doctor is the key to positive dynamics and full recovery, even in the case of cancer.

Feeling discomfort arising regularly in the form of numbness, loss of sensitivity of the feet and toes, discoloration of the skin, cramps, do not need to self-medicate. Accurate diagnosis, determine the causes and prescribe treatment can only be a specialist.
