Cavernous infarction may cause leg weakness and tenderness.
Cavernous infarction, also known as lacunar cerebral infarction, is caused by ischemia and hypoxia due to blood supply obstruction in the brain, resulting in ischemic necrosis of limited brain tissues, which will seriously damage the nerve conduction bundles of the motor centers, resulting in sensory-motor disorders of the lateral limbs or autonomic dysfunction, thus causing aching and weakness in legs, and weakness and numbness in upper limbs, and other symptoms.
Pathologic causes of leg weakness include spinal cord cervical spondylosis, lower extremity vascular disease, chondromalacia patellae, osteoporosis, etc. Symptoms can be relieved after treatment of the primary disease. In addition, long walking, excessive fatigue, poor rest and other physiological factors will also be weak and achy legs, but only temporary, after appropriate rest can be relieved.
If the patient often has weak and achy legs, after excluding physiological factors, he should consult a doctor in time to find out the cause of the problem and treat it actively. Patients with lacunar cerebral infarction who suffer from leg weakness should go to the hospital in time and be treated under the guidance of doctors.
