I often hear people say that their hands are numb, so is numbness in the hands a disease? In this regard, remind the public: pain in the first, numbness in the second. The first step of hand numbness is shoulder or arm pain, once the hand often numbness, indicating that the nerve compression has been a while, it is best to come to the hospital early to see. More than 70% of hand numbness originated from cervical spondylosis More than 70% of hand numbness roots in the cervical spine hand numbness, in fact, the root of the disease is mostly cervical spine problems. Experts say that most of the clinical nerve compression leading to hand numbness occurs in the neck, the proportion of at least seventy percent, sometimes even up to ninety percent. Most of these people are accompanied by symptoms such as cervical joint hyperplasia or ligament calcification, and in serious cases, also accompanied by joint restrictions in both upper limbs. The habits of these patients, without exception, are long-term sedentary, always maintain a posture does not move. Now it is the young people in their twenties and thirties who are more prone to this disease. Hands often numb to see a doctor Most people may ignore the feeling of hand numbness, that rest for a while should be fine, but once the arm or finger often numb, it means that the nerve has been insensitive to pressure, the situation is more serious. The same as the hand will swell up after a bump, the nerve will also swell up after being compressed. Keeping a posture for a long time, especially staring at the computer for a long time, will lead to compression of the blood vessels in the neck and produce local nerve edema, reflected in the body will be shoulder pain or arm pain. But if you do not care about the pain, continue to let the nerve to maintain the state of compression, it will lead to nerve damage, local blood circulation continues to be poor, part of the tissue is difficult to normal “work”, “pain” will turn into “numbness “The feeling of numbness, then the treatment will be more difficult. Hand numbness is a chronic strain disease, if late treatment will affect the future life of the elderly, and easy to recur. Therefore, when the arm or finger regular numbness, you should immediately go to the hospital to identify the cause and timely treatment. An X-ray can be taken to find out the hand numbness Generally, an X-ray can determine whether there are organic lesions in the cervical spine, whether there is ligament calcification, osteophytes, and if so, the next systematic treatment can be done. After a series of treatment, usually will recover. In addition, in addition to cervical spondylosis, menopause will also have certain symptoms of hand numbness, because the change in hormone levels at this stage, the function of the organs are affected, which may lead to blood pressure fluctuations, mood irritability, etc., hand numbness is only one of the symptoms, generally after the hormone levels are stable, the corresponding symptoms will be relieved on their own.
