After treatment, problems such as numbness in the hands and joint pain were improved. After treatment, hand numbness and joint pain were improved. Clinically, about 1% of patients with hand numbness are caused by gout, probably due to uric acid deposition in the median nerve, which compresses the median nerve and causes hand numbness and pain. Second, transient cerebral ischemia: This is a common cause of hand numbness in the elderly. The elderly often have high blood pressure, high blood pressure will cause vascular spasm, high blood pressure will cause vascular sclerosis, coupled with the elderly blood viscosity will increase, and slow blood flow during sleep, these factors will lead to the occurrence of transient cerebral ischemia and cause hand numbness. Therefore, elderly people should have their blood pressure checked, blood lipid checked and blood rheology checked regularly, and if they have high blood pressure or high blood lipid, they should be treated. Drink more water, take some medicine to reduce blood viscosity, prevent thrombosis, improve cerebral blood supply, the phenomenon of numbness in the hands will be eliminated. Third, cervical spondylosis: cervical spondylosis is a common disease of the elderly, it is due to cervical spine osteophytes, intervertebral disc degeneration or local joint ligament relaxation and the cervical spine local blood vessels, nerve tissue pressure caused by its symptoms are diverse, hand numbness is one of its symptoms.
