Whether numbness in hands and feet can be recovered from cerebral infarction depends on the degree of cerebral infarction. Usually the numbness of hands and feet caused by mild cerebral infarction is possible to recover, while the numbness of hands and feet caused by severe cerebral infarction is difficult to recover completely.
Cerebral infarction is caused by localized ischemia and necrosis of brain cells due to the blockage of blood vessels in the cranium, which leads to the death of brain cells, thus causing the loss of neurological function in the area. It can lead to symptoms such as hemiplegia, hemiparesis and aphasia. When cerebral infarction occurs in the sensory center of the brain, it can produce numbness of the contralateral limbs.
If the degree of cerebral infarction is relatively mild and the necrotic cells are small, with the prolongation of time, the peripheral cells can compensate for the function of the necrotic cells, and the numbness of the arms and legs will be recovered slowly. If large cerebral infarction occurs, it is difficult to fully recover the nerve function, and there is a risk of sequelae, resulting in the numbness of hands and feet can not be fully recovered.
After the symptoms of cerebral infarction appear, you should consult a doctor in time and take active treatment in order to avoid leaving serious after-effects.
