Very often, when we wear tight clothes or shoes, work or just rest in an uncomfortable position, pinching the nerves and blood vessels, numbness of the limbs occurs.. After a long work with your hands or sitting, pressing your legs - there are a lot of positions leading to this state. As a rule, numbness disappears after a few minutes if you change an uncomfortable position..

But, unfortunately, numbness does not always depend on our body position, most often it is caused by one of the serious diseases: osteochondrosis, tunnel neuropathy, impaired blood circulation or arterial vascular disease.. If these diseases are not treated in time, the consequences can be extremely dangerous..

Causes of limb numbness:.

- cervical osteochondrosis and pinched nerve as a result - carpal tunnel syndrome, in which the first three fingers often go numb, and then the whole arm starts to hurt (possibly when working with a computer mouse).

- lack of vitamin B12, which leads to disturbances in heart rhythm and sensitivity - Raynaud's disease, which is caused by stress, intoxication, hereditary factors. People who work a lot at the computer are more susceptible to the disease..

- neuropathy, which is typical in diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, etc.. Symptoms of neuropathy: tingling and itching, burning.

and other reasons.

Numbness of the legs can cause all the same diseases associated with the spine: osteochondrosis, intervertebral hernia, sciatica, etc.. Cancer causes numbness in toes.

What to do with numbness?

- move as much as possible, no matter how trite it sounds! Stretch your head, neck, make turns, tilt, look around, etc..

- to avoid compression of the cervical spine, try to always lower your shoulders down - massage of the neck and forearms is very useful - special gymnastics for the cervical spine will help you - visit a massage therapist - in case of severe pain, be sure to consult a doctor!

Be very serious about what position you work in and how often you stretch your body and limbs.. You can’t start numbness, otherwise it can turn into a chronic disease that requires serious treatment and brings a lot of inconvenience..

To live disease-free, move a lot and make sure that your body is comfortable in any activity.!
