Why Do Legs Ache and Feel Cold, Despite Normal Hand Joints?
Leg pain, cold sensitivity, with no abnormalities in hand joints, may be caused by factors such as a cold, excessive walking, trauma, and others. Treatments include soaking feet in hot water, massage, medication, etc., but medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
1. Cold Exposure: In cold weather, if leg warmth is not maintained, it can cause local circulation disorders, potentially leading to leg pain and numbness. Patients can soak their feet in hot water to promote blood circulation and relieve discomfort.
2. Excessive Walking: Walking too much in a day can cause excessive wear on leg joints and result in the production of excessive lactic acid in leg muscles. The accumulation of lactic acid can cause local irritation and leg pain. Patients can use massage to promote metabolism, which facilitates the decomposition of lactic acid and helps relieve discomfort.
3. Trauma: If the legs accidentally sustain external force, it can cause local soft tissue damage, and in severe cases, lead to fractures. The affected area usually has obvious pain, accompanied by symptoms such as swelling and bruising. Patients can use medications such as Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-Release Capsules, Ibuprofen Sustained-Release Tablets, and Celecoxib Capsules under the guidance of a doctor. When necessary, treatments such as external fixation with plaster and open reduction and internal fixation surgery can be used.
In addition to the above reasons, it may also be caused by factors such as lumbar disc herniation. Patients should rest and avoid excessive fatigue.
