Pain in the thigh is an unpleasant or painful sensation caused by a pathological process in the bones, soft tissues, nerves, and vessels of the thigh. It can be constant, intermittent, short-term, weak, intense, dull, or acute. Often combined with edema, dysfunction of the limb. It is caused by trauma, inflammatory, degenerative, tumor diseases, and other factors. The etiology of pain is established based on complaints, examination data, radiography, CT, MRI, and other studies. Until the cause is clarified, rest is shown, sometimes analgesics can be taken.
Pain in the toes appears with traumatic injuries, deformities of the feet, inflammatory, degenerative diseases. Often becomes a consequence of dermatological diseases. It is observed in some vascular and nervous pathologies. It can be weak, intense, dull, sharp, pulling, burning, aching, twitching, bursting, short-term, intermittent or constant. To find out the cause of pain in the toes, a survey, external examination, additional studies: x-rays, ultrasound, laboratory tests are carried out. Until the diagnosis is clarified, rest is recommended, sometimes it is possible to take analgesics.
Pain in the fingers occurs when bones, joints, soft tissues, blood vessels, and nerves are affected. It can be dull, acute, weak, intense, constant, intermittent, short-term. Often there is a connection with physical activity, weather conditions, and other factors. Concomitant external disturbances are possible: deformations, changes in color and temperature, edema. To determine the cause of pain in the fingers, the results of a survey, external examination, x-ray examination, and other methods are used. Until the diagnosis is made, rest is recommended, sometimes taking painkillers.
Pain in the testicles occurs with inflammatory diseases, traumatic injuries, fluid accumulation, emergency conditions, neoplasms, purulent processes, pathologies of neighboring organs. May be provoked by sexual arousal or prolonged abstinence. It happens constant, growing, paroxysmal, sharp, dull, pulling, aching, bursting. The cause of the pathology is established on the basis of complaints, the results of a physical examination, data from hardware and laboratory studies. As part of the treatment, analgesics, antibiotics, NSAIDs, physiotherapy procedures, and operations are prescribed.
Deformation of the fingers develops with traumatic injuries, degenerative and inflammatory diseases, malformations, hereditary pathologies. It is caused by a change in the length, thickness and configuration of the phalanges or their location relative to each other, a violation of the shape of the joints, fibrous growths, swelling of soft tissues. Establishing the cause of the pathology is carried out on the basis of the data of the survey, physical examination, radiography, CT, MRI, laboratory tests. Painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs are sometimes allowed before a diagnosis is made.
Dysesthesia is an abnormal sensation of pain, itching, burning, or other discomfort that occurs spontaneously or under the influence of stimuli. It is observed in neuropathies, polyneuropathies, fibromyalgia, radicular syndrome, transverse myelitis, and some other diseases. The cause of occurrence is established on the basis of complaints, medical history, data from electrophysiological, imaging and laboratory methods. Treatment - NSAIDs, antibacterial agents, neurometabolites, physiotherapy. Some patients require surgery.
Chilliness of the hands is observed in healthy people (with stress, hypotension, in old age), with neurological or vascular pathologies - Raynaud's syndrome, vibration disease, nerve compression in the carpal tunnel. Less commonly, a symptom develops against the background of osteochondrosis, hypothyroidism, autoimmune processes. To diagnose the causes of chilliness, ENMG, X-ray studies (X-ray of the hands, CT of the spine, angiography), tests for hormones and autoantibodies are prescribed. To eliminate the symptom, lifestyle correction, the use of medication and physiotherapy techniques are necessary.
Weight fluctuations are small changes in body weight in the direction of increase or decrease that occur in a short time. Often, weight jumps are caused by natural factors: errors in the diet, fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle. Among the pathological prerequisites for weight changes, renal and cardiovascular diseases are distinguished. To verify the cause of the symptom, extended blood tests are done, the hormonal profile is assessed, and ultrasound diagnostics are used. To eliminate weight jumps, it is necessary to influence the etiological factor.
Gait disturbance (dysbasia) is a change in the walking cycle, including a violation of the length, width, rhythm and symmetry of the step, the duration of the support and swing cycles, the position of the trunk and limbs. It is detected in lesions of the central and peripheral nervous systems: parkinsonism, strokes, neuropathies, craniocerebral injuries, demyelinating, degenerative pathologies. It is diagnosed on the basis of gait examination, neurological examination, imaging and laboratory techniques. Treatment includes drug therapy, surgery, rehabilitation measures.
Facial numbness is observed in neurological, dental, vascular and oncological diseases, traumatic injuries. It is less often detected in patients with mental disorders, infections, parasitosis, and some other pathologies. Most often unilateral. It can be temporary or permanent, covering the entire half of the face or a specific area. The cause of the condition is established according to the survey, external, neurological and dental examination, imaging and laboratory techniques. Treatment includes neuroprotective agents, anticonvulsants, antibacterial agents, and physiotherapy.
Foot numbness most often occurs with neurological and vascular pathologies, diabetes mellitus. Sometimes the cause of the symptom is trauma, angiotrophoneurosis, mental disorders. Numbness can be temporary or permanent, cover one or both feet, combined with pain, paresthesia, walking disorders. The nature of the disease is established on the basis of survey data, general and neurological examination, ultrasound and electrophysiological techniques, and other studies. Treatment includes antispasmodics, B vitamins, anticoagulants, blockades, physiotherapy.
Edema of the hands can be physiological or pathological, local or widespread. They arise as a result of injuries, local infections, diseases of the joints, lesions of the blood and lymphatic vessels, and some other pathologies. Manifested by an increase in the volume of the limb, pain, a feeling of heaviness, clumsiness when performing fine movements are possible. For the diagnosis of diseases that cause swelling of the hands, data from a survey, external examination, radiography, ultrasound, CT, MRI, and laboratory tests are used. Treatment is determined by the cause of the symptom.
Cock gait (steppage) is observed in pathologies accompanied by a violation of the dorsiflexion of the foot: polyneuropathies, poliomyelitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis, compression or mechanical damage to the peroneal nerve. The cause of the violation is established according to the survey, physical examination, neurological examination, ultrasound of the nerve, neurophysiological studies, and other methods. Treatment of cock's gait includes NSAIDs, cholinesterase inhibitors, immunomodulators, immunosuppressants, hormonal drugs.
Tingling in the legs occurs when tired, wearing uncomfortable shoes. In pathological cases, tingling is determined with restless legs syndrome, polyneuropathy, obliterating lesions of the arteries and veins of the lower extremities. For diagnostic purposes, clinical and biochemical blood tests, instrumental imaging methods are prescribed: vascular ultrasound with dopplerography, CT angiography, radiography and MRI of the spine. Treatment of diseases accompanied by tingling in the legs includes medications (antiplatelet agents, antispasmodics, sedatives and anticonvulsants), physiotherapy methods. With vascular lesions, operations are performed to restore blood flow.
Lameness develops with injuries, degenerative and inflammatory diseases of bones, joints, soft tissues, vascular diseases, neurological, dermatological pathologies. It can occur due to pain, limb deformity, paresis, circulatory disorders. Lameness can be constant, intermittent, or intermittent. The diagnosis is made on the basis of anamnesis, examination data, radiography, CT, and other studies. Before determining the cause of lameness, it is possible to use additional devices (canes, crutches), in some cases, it is acceptable to take analgesics.
