Obviously thin thighs after gout may be due to lumbar disc herniation, muscle atrophy, higher basal metabolic rate and other factors.
1. Lumbar disc herniation: due to the lumbar disc herniation compresses the sciatic nerve of the thigh, which results in radiating pain in the thigh, under the influence of pain, the activity of the leg will be reduced accordingly, and there will be the phenomenon of thinning of the thigh after gout.
2. Muscle atrophy: When gout patients do not pay attention to exercise, they cannot restore the function of joints well, resulting in muscle atrophy, which causes the phenomenon of thinning thighs after gout.
3. Higher basal metabolic rate: If the gout patient is in a long-term inflammatory body reaction environment, the basal metabolic rate will be higher, the body consumption is relatively large, at this time will also appear after gout thigh thinning.
If gout patients appear thinner thighs, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination, under the guidance of the doctor for treatment.
