What should I do if my nerves are numb

Nerve numbness is a type of neurological disease. It does not have obvious symptoms in the early stage so it is difficult to detect. Nerve numbness includes facial nerve numbness, leg nerve numbness, hand nerve numbness, etc. Its symptoms are generally muscle spasms. If it occurs on the face, there will be facial paralysis. If it occurs on the body, there will be numbness and twitching of the hands and feet, and the body will also involuntarily curl up into a ball. In addition, brain nerve numbness may be caused by cerebral thrombosis compressing the nerves. In the face of these nerve numbness phenomena, everyone should pay special attention. Let’s introduce nerve numbness in detail below.

Overview of Nerve Numbness

According to the analysis of the disease, if there is muscle twitching, it can be diagnosed as a neurodegenerative disease. Since the disease occurs in the early stage and no organic damage has occurred, it is extremely difficult to diagnose it with modern medicine.

If the disease is severe, it can invade the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord, the brainstem nerve nuclei, and the pyramidal cells of the cerebral motor cortex, leading to paralysis. About 5%-7% of patients suffer from genetic immune abnormalities or viral infections, while some others suffer from neuroirritation edema followed by neurological dysfunction. Early treatment is mostly nutritional support therapy, but the effect is difficult to control, because the disease first causes autonomic nervous system damage, which leads to nerve dysfunction, resulting in low immune function and burden on other nerves, so the symptoms are further aggravated.

Treatment recommendations:

In addition to normal nutritional support therapy, treatment should enhance the body's immune function and improve its disease resistance. To nourish the nerves, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine expands the microcirculation to provide adequate blood supply to the damaged residual nerves and prevent the disease from further developing. Then, the nerves are excited, the paralyzed and shocked nerve cells are activated to compensate for the damaged nerve cells, thereby enhancing the conduction impulses between nerve cells and restoring limb function.

Causes of Nerve Numbness

Nerve numbness may be caused by fatigue or peripheral neuritis. Peripheral neuritis is a general term for multiple peripheral nerve damage caused by various reasons, which manifests as symmetrical sensory, motor and autonomic dysfunction in the distal limbs, so it is also called multiple neuritis or multiple peripheral neuritis.

treat:

1. Prevention should be the priority, such as strengthening labor protection, preventing metal and pesticide poisoning, and using furan drugs as little as possible (if they are necessary, vitamin B drugs can be taken at the same time).

2. If neurological symptoms and signs are found, the cause should be eliminated as soon as possible, neurotrophic function should be improved, and physical fitness should be strengthened. If it is caused by heavy metals, antidotes can be used, such as sodium dithiothioate (0.5-1.0g added to 20ml of water for injection and injected intravenously 1/day), 5-10 times as a course of treatment; if it is caused by nutritional metabolic disorders, the cause of the nutritional disorder should be found and treated accordingly; if it is caused by diabetes, diabetes should be treated at the same time. Drug treatment can use neurotrophic metabolic drugs and vasodilators to promote the recovery of nerve conduction function.

Dietary taboos for patients with nerve numbness:

1. Low-calorie diet: The total calories of the diet should maintain normal weight

2. Low cholesterol, low animal fat diet: Excessive cholesterol and animal fat can easily increase serum cholesterol and triglycerides and promote atherosclerosis. Try to eat vegetable oils, soybeans and soy products. Vegetable oil is also not suitable for consumption.
