“Old, this leg is not good, it’s not as good as one day.” Uncle Wang sat on the stairs and rubbed his legs to rest, couldn’t help but sigh.
Uncle Wang is 60 years old. Recently, he always feels unfavorable with his legs and feet. He thought he was old and didn’t care. It wasn’t until a few days ago that Uncle Wang found that the ulcer surface appeared on his feet, and he realized that he was wrong and hurriedly seek medical treatment.
It turned out that King Wang was a diabetic patient. This examination found that the blood glucose was as high as 22mmol/L, the stenosis area of the lower limbs reached more than 70%, and the complications of the kidney and cerebrovascular complications were combined.
Domination of legs and leg pain in the legs on weekdays is not caused by big age, but diabetes foot!
Doctors said that patients with diabetes combined with vascular neuroplasma are mostly nerve -damaged, and their perception of legs is not obvious. It is difficult to detect once there are small wounds, and it will even gradually ulcerate. In severe cases, there may be amputation.
After getting old, many people have leg pain from time to time. They always think that they are naturally aging and do not care too much, but sometimes leg pain is not necessarily aging, and it may be a disease signal.
First, the old man is old? Aging starts from the legs
In addition to the normal activity of the legs, in addition to the bones, joints, muscles, and blood supply, it is also dominated by the human brain. The ancient sayings have said that “the old roots of the tree are withered first, and the old legs are declining”. The accuracy and conduction speed of the brain to the legs will decrease, and the legs and feet are naturally not as good as when they are young.
