In life, many old people often have leg cramps, which has a great impact on the elderly. To improve this problem, we must first understand the reasons. The following is the reason why I recommend the old man's leg cramp for you. I hope it can help you.
1. Cold stimulation
Cold is the most common direct cause of cramps, which can directly stimulate the strong contraction of leg muscles and sudden spasm of blood vessels.
2. Excessive sweating
Long exercise time, large amount of anaerobic exercise, sweating, massive loss of fluid and electrolyte in the body, such as low calcium, low potassium and low magnesium, accumulation of a large amount of metabolic waste, internal environment disorder and spasm.
3. Local compression
For example, lie on your back for a long time to press the quilt on your feet, or lie on your stomach for a long time to press your feet against the bed, forcing some muscles of the lower leg to be compressed for a long time, causing muscle "passive contracture" and insufficient blood supply.
4. Hypocalcemia
Calcium ions play an important role in muscle contraction. As the calcium absorption capacity of the elderly is weakened and the calcium loss is obvious, the body of children and pregnant women consumes too much calcium. When the concentration of calcium ion in the blood is too low, the muscles are easy to get excited and spasm.
5. Frail fatigue
Excessive exercise, especially anaerobic exercise, leads to continuous contraction of muscles in a short time, resulting in a large amount of metabolic waste in the body. The state of muscle tension at night has not been improved, and the accumulation of excessive acidic metabolites has not been cleaned up in time, which can stimulate calf cramps. The elderly are weak, the muscle strength is poor, and the metabolic function of the body is also one of the reasons.
6. Vascular factors
When the lower limb is paralyzed or paralyzed, the internal circulation of the lower limb will be blocked, and the lower limb will be paralyzed or even paralyzed. When the lower limb is paralyzed, the internal circulation will be blocked, and the lower limb will be paralyzed. When the lower limb is paralyzed, the internal circulation will be blocked, and even the lower limb will be paralyzed; In severe cases, there may be persistent pain, and the pulsation of lower limb arteries, especially dorsalis pedis artery, may weaken or disappear. The metabolites cannot be taken away in time. When reaching a certain concentration, it will also stimulate muscle contraction and cause pain and cramps.
Hold one side of the calf tightly with the palms of both hands, and knead while rotating. Knead each side about 20 times.
2. More sun
It can not only keep warm, but also promote the formation of vitamin D in the body, avoid the loss of calcium in both legs and effectively prevent osteoporosis.
3. Moderate leg swing
One arm gently rests against the wall, and the opposite leg gently swings with the hip as the axis. After five times, change the other leg to do the same action, three times in the morning, middle and evening, which can make the blocked microcirculation unobstructed again and reduce the blood viscosity to a certain extent.
4. Gently rub your legs
Apply the massage cream evenly on the legs, heat the palms, and gently massage the inner parts of the legs in a clockwise direction from the root of the thigh, so as to improve blood circulation, activate cell metabolism, relax muscles and activate collaterals, and the self heating system of the legs is turned on.
5. Soak feet in hot water
Soaking your feet in hot water, especially washing your feet with ginger or Pepper Fried water, can quickly expand the capillary network of human respiratory mucosa and accelerate blood circulation, so that the white blood cells in the blood in the respiratory mucosa can timely eliminate the bacteria and viruses invading the human body and prevent the human body from infection.
6. Twisting knee and activating blood vessel
Close your feet in parallel, bend your knees and squat down slightly, put your hands on your knees, twist clockwise for 10 times, and then twist counterclockwise. This method can dredge blood vessels and prevent lower limb fatigue, knee pain and other diseases. However, it should be noted that patients with lesions in the knee should not do this exercise.
1. Tetanic convulsion of the whole body: the muscles of the whole body are stiff, twitching in bursts, showing angular tension (the head is tilted back, the whole body is bent back in an arch shape), the eyes turn up or stare, and the mind is confused.
2. Localized twitch: only local muscle twitch, such as only one limb twitch, or facial muscle twitch, or finger and toe twitch, or eye rotation, nystagmus, blink, gaze, etc. Mostly unconscious. The fashion of the above extraction can be a few seconds or minutes. In severe cases, it can reach a few minutes or occur repeatedly. Those whose extraction lasts for more than 30 minutes are called the continuous state of convulsion.
3. Febrile convulsion: it is mainly seen in children from 6 months to 4 years old, and there is convulsion in case of high fever. The onset of febrile convulsion is short, and the recovery of consciousness is fast after smoking. It mostly occurs in the early stage of fever. In a case of fever, it often happens only once. It can rule out brain diseases and other serious diseases, and the EEG is normal one week after the fever subsides.
For leg cramps caused by cold, fatigue or malnutrition, soak your feet with warm water before going to bed, or pay more attention to keeping warm during sleep, properly massage your legs and feet, pay attention to reasonable diet, balanced nutrition, scientific exercise, more sun exposure, and properly supplement vitamin B1 and vitamin E. However, if it happens frequently and lasts for a long time, especially the middle-aged and elderly people with other diseases, they should go to the hospital as soon as possible. Don't make their own decisions to avoid accidents.
