The sensation of ants crawling on the body, medically known as ankylosis, may be caused by nutritional metabolism disorders, lower extremity venous return disorders, or other factors such as cerebrovascular disease or lumbar disc herniation.
1. Nutritional metabolism disorder: If there are nutritional metabolism disorders such as vitamin B deficiency or diabetes mellitus, it will lead to the damage of nerve function, which will lead to ant walking sensation.
2. Lower extremity venous return disorder: Varicose veins and other lower extremity venous return disorder will lead to lower extremity venous ischemia and hypoxia, which will cause sensory nerve disorder, manifested as ankylosis on the body.
3. Others: the ankylosis sensation may also be caused by the limb sensory disorder caused by the sequelae of cerebrovascular disease. In addition, herniated lumbar discs causing nerve compression may also cause ankylosis.
