The body of the elderly began to decline, and the first step was discomfort in their legs and feet. However, many elderly people do not know what caused the leg pain of the 80 year old. Now let me introduce the causes of leg pain in the 80 year old. I hope I can help you.
Causes of leg pain in 80 year old people
1. Osteoporosis: osteoporosis is a chronic disease caused by many factors, especially in postmenopausal women and elderly men. Primary osteoporosis is a common disease in the elderly. Primary type I osteoporosis is caused by the decrease of estrogen after menopause, the enhancement of bone resorption and the loss of bone mass; The etiology of primary type II osteoporosis is due to aging, resulting in imbalance of hormone self-regulation and low bone formation.
2. Osteoarthritis: osteoarthritis is a joint disease characterized by degeneration, degeneration and hyperplasia of articular cartilage. Most of them have hidden onset and slow progress. The most prominent symptom is joint pain. The pain is severe when getting up in the morning. The pain will be relieved after a little activity. The pain will rise again after excessive activity, and can be relieved again after rest. The leg pain caused by knee osteoarthritis is related to climate change. The leg pain is aggravated when it is cold and relieved when it is warm; At the same time, the patient's knee was weak in walking, and the pain increased significantly when going upstairs and downstairs.
3. Indirect claudication: intermittent claudication means that the patient does not have obvious discomfort when he does not walk, but when he walks ill, his lower limbs will feel sour and uncomfortable, so he has to stop to rest. After a period of rest, the discomfort disappears and he can continue to walk. Intermittent claudication can be caused by compression of the nerves in the lumbar spinal canal or vascular diseases of the lower limbs.
4. Arteriosclerosis of lower limbs: Arteriosclerosis Obliterans of lower limbs is caused by the formation of atherosclerotic plaques of lower limbs, resulting in arterial stenosis and occlusion of lower limbs, leading to chronic ischemia of limbs. The main clinical manifestations are cold, numbness, pain, intermittent claudication, disappearance of arterial pulse, nutritional disorder of limb tissue, ulcer or gangrene of toe or foot.
Relief methods of leg pain in 80 year old people
1. Adhere to appropriate exercise. Long term and gradual exercise, such as swimming, health exercises, Taijiquan, walking, etc., can not only slow down the loss of bone mass, but also significantly improve the content of bone salt and promote the activity of bone cells.
2. Do not take part in strenuous exercise, especially the exercise that causes excessive muscle pain.
3. During boxing and dancing, the movements of turning, neck turning and bending should not be too fierce to avoid jumping up and down.

5. During work, activity or rest, do not stay in the same position or posture for a long time, and often change and adjust the action position.
6. Achilles tendon is commonly known as lazy tendon, which is located at the back and upper part of the heel. On the bed, pinch the Achilles tendons on both sides with a little force on the middle section of the thumb and index finger of both hands, and then pinch them for 20 to 30 times to be able to withstand.

9. If it is numbness and pain behind the lower leg, push the calf. If it is numbness and pain on the outside of the lower leg, push the side of the lower leg close to the little toe. The method is to sit on a stool and keep the pressure from top to bottom with the palm root or thenar. You can apply some "Massage Milk" or push it 20 to 30 times across a layer of soft cloth.

Shake continuously, smoothly and freely.

14. Lie on the bed, grasp the head of the bed with both hands, and one or two family members hold the patient's ankle and pull it downward. When the patient feels pain relief or disappearance, maintain this pulling force until it is boring, and pull it continuously for 5 to 10 times.
15. The first acupoint is at the midpoint of the connecting line between the sciatic tubercle (the bone tip that can be touched in the center of the hip groove) and the greater trochanter of femur (the bone protruding from the outside of the hip). The second acupoint is the center behind the thigh. The third acupoint is in the middle of the calf. The fourth is behind the medial malleolus. Kneel on the bed and press the middle finger or thumb on the acupoints. It is better to have the feeling of acid, numbness and swelling. Point each acupoint for 1 minute.
