Sister Wang, who is 45 years old, often feels numbness and pain in her feet recently. Not long ago, she went to Fuzhou Second Hospital for treatment, but was told that her feet would be at risk of ulceration or even amputation! ! !
Continuous numbness and pain in the feet, the woman felt that the soles of her feet were "electrically shocked"
Sister Wang recalled that a few months ago she began to feel inexplicable numbness in her feet, a bit like pinprick pain, but at first she thought it was just because she was old and had poor legs and feet. Soon the pain became stronger and stronger, and each attack was like an electric shock on the soles of her feet.
The doctor
said that the area where she had compression was at this site, which is called ulnar nerve , as well as the superficial peroneal nerve and posterior tibial nerve. The compression of the nerve was quite serious.
The cause of Sister Wang’s foot pain was found, because the nerves that control sensation in her legs and feet are compressed by surrounding ligaments, and as time goes by, the compression will become more and more severe. The occurrence of this situation also indicates that Sister Wang will face the risk of ulceration of her legs and feet or even amputation. What's going on?
Nerve lesions occur only because of diabetes
It turns out that Sister Wang has had a history of diabetes for eight years, but her blood sugar control has been poor. The doctor said that "diabetic foot" is a very serious complication of diabetes, which will make patients face the threat of disability or even death. Before this complication occurs, most people will have foot neuropathy like Sister Wang.
Doctor
We later performed a minimally invasive surgery on her, helping her to compress the swollen nerves here and loosen the adhering tissues to allow the nerves to have space so that they would not be further compressed or necrotic.
Peripheral neuropathy of the foot or signs of diabetic foot
The doctor told us that the purpose of
treatment is not just to relieve the pain in Sister Wang's feet,
more importantly,
can detect early and
prevent the occurrence of diabetic foot in the later stage.
Sister Wang still feels lucky,
because at present,
diabetes is still one of the major threats to human
life and health.
Before the harm comes,
you may pay more attention and
be more vigilant,
the risk may no longer approach you.
