Leg Weakness, Causes And rehabilitation

Diabetic Nerve Pain:
Weakness in the legs occurs as a ensue of a decrease or loss of force in any of the muscles or muscle groups complicated in the movement of the legs. The most base causes of leg infirmity are due to spinal cord/nerve compression or injury in the region of the lower back and comprise traumatic spinal cord injuries, scoliosis, intervertebral disc prolapse, nerve impingement, tumours, infections, and so on. Skeletal muscle movement is controlled by nerves originating from the brain but these nerves are not continuous all the way to the muscles.

There is, normally, a relay in the spinal cord, where the nerves from the brain communicate with the nerves that nothing else but reach the muscles. For the leg muscles, this nerve relay occurs in the lower section of the spinal cord in the lower back, so problems affecting the spinal cord and nerves in the region of the lower back can cause infirmity in the leg muscles. These nerves, however, do not only control movement but also carry fibres that control sensation, urination, defecation and erection (in males), so it is not unusual for leg infirmity to be associated with problems with these other functions.

Diabetic Nerve Pain:Leg Weakness, Causes And rehabilitation

Other causes of muscle infirmity comprise stroke, meningitis, polio, diabetic neuropathy, many sclerosis, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, electrolyte imbalance, metabolic disorders, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, malignancies, toxins (e.g. Botulism), poisoning (e.g. Organophosphates), connective tissue disorders, myasthenia gravis, thyrotoxicosis, drugs and so on (the list is endless really). Most of these other inherent causes, however, will cause a more generalized muscle weakness, rather than infirmity restricted to the legs alone. Stroke, however, tends to cause muscle infirmity on one half of the body, rather than affecting both legs, for instance it could cause infirmity on the right arm and leg with infirmity on the left side of the face or infirmity on the left arm and leg with infirmity on the right side of the face.

Treatment of leg weakness, obviously, depends on the cause, but may comprise medications, surgery, physiotherapy and other exact and supportive therapies. However, please note that nerves, unlike most tissues in the body, have a very low capacity to heal. So if the leg infirmity is due to nerve damage and depending on the extent of the damage, the individual may not be able to secure full force in the legs. I'm not, in any way, implying that the individual doesn't need rehabilitation by this please, quite the contrary. The aim of rehabilitation may be to halt or slow down the progress of whatever is causing the problem, and also to forestall complications that may arise from inactivity and disuse of the legs. On a more optimistic note, however, in some cases where the infirmity is caused by spinal cord or nerve compression, surgery aimed at relieving the compression coupled with physiotherapy may restore full strength; but note that surgery has its own risks as well, including the possibility of causing unblemished paralysis.

Get the word out on this video. - Saturday June 11 2011 4:01 pm en.wikipedia.org Williams syndrome (WS or WMS; also Williams--Beuren syndrome or WBS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a distinctive, 'elfin' facial appearance, along with a low nasal bridge; an unusually cheerful demeanor and ease with strangers; developmental delay coupled with strong language skills; and cardiovascular problems, such as supravalvular aortic stenosis and transient hypercalcaemia. It is caused by a deletion of about 26 genes from the long arm of chromosome 7. The syndrome was first identified in 1961 by Dr. JCP Williams of New Zealand and has an estimated prevalence of 1 in 7500 to 1 in 20000 births. The most common symptoms of Williams syndrome are mental disability, heart defects, and unusual facial features. Other symptoms include failure to gain weight appropriately in infancy and low muscle tone. Most individuals with Williams syndrome are highly verbal and overly sociable, having what has been described as a 'cocktail party' type personality, and exhibit a remarkable blend of cognitive strengths and weaknesses. Individuals with WS hyperfocus on the eyes of others in social engagements. Patients tend to have widely spaced teeth, a long philtrum, and flattened nasal bridge. Individuals with Williams syndrome also experience many cardiac problems ...

Foot and Ankle Injuries - Podiatrist in Bethesda, MD and Springfield, VA - Diabetic Nerve Pain

Foot and Ankle Injuries - Podiatrist in Bethesda, MD and Springfield, VA Dr. Paul Ross discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for Foot and Ankle Injuries. www.paulrossdpm.com Leading foot problems are • Bunions—misaligned big toe joints that swell and become tender, causing the first joint of the big toe to slant outward and the second joint to angle toward the other toes. Bunions tend to be hereditary, but can be aggravated by shoes that are too narrow in the forefoot and toe. Surgery is frequently performed to correct the problem. • Hammertoes—usually stemming from muscle imbalance, this condition occurs when the toe is bent into a claw-like position. Hammertoe can affect any toe, but most frequently occurs to the second toe, when a bunion slants the big toe toward and under it. Selecting shoes and socks that do not cramp the toes may help alleviate any aggravation of pain or discomfort. • Heel Spurs—growths of bone on the underside, forepart of the heel bone. Heel spurs occur when the plantar tendon pulls at its attachment to the heel bone. This area of the heel later calcifies to form a spur. Proper warm-up and the use of appropriate athletic shoes can reduce the strain to the ligament and prevent the formation of heel spurs. • Ingrown Toenails—toenails with corners or sides that dig painfully into the skin. Ingrown toenails are usually caused by improper nail trimming, but can also result from shoe pressure, injury, fungus infection, heredity, and poor foot ...

Bunions and Nerve Surgery - North Jersey Podiatrist

Bunions and Nerve Surgery - North Jersey Podiatrist - Diabetic Nerve Pain

Bunions and Nerve Surgery - North Jersey Podiatrist Abunion is a bone deformity caused by an enlargement of the joint at the base and side of the big toe (metatarsophalangeal joint). Bunions form when the toe moves out of place. The enlargement and its protuberance cause friction and pressure as they rub against footwear. Over time, the movement of the big toe angles in toward the other toes, sometimes overlapping a third toe (known as Hallux Valgus). The growing enlargement or protuberance then causes more irritation or inflammation. In some cases, the big toe moves toward the second toe and rotates or twists, which is known as Hallus Abducto Valgus. Bunions can also lead to other toe deformities, such as hammertoe. Many people with bunions suffer from discomfort and pain from the constant irritation, rubbing, and friction of the enlargement against shoes. The skin over the toe becomes red and tender. Because this joint flexes with every step, the bigger the bunion gets, the more it hurts to walk. Over time, bursitis or arthritis may set in, the skin on the bottom of the foot may become thicker, and everyday walking may become difficult—all contributing to chronic pain. Wearing shoes that are too tight is the leading cause of bunions. Bunions are not hereditary, but they do tend to run in families, usually because of a faulty foot structure. Foot injuries, neuromuscular problems, flat feet, and pronated feet can contribute to their formation. It is estimated that bunions ...

Heel Pain Treatment - Wayne, NJ Podiatrist - Diabetic Nerve Pain

Heel Pain Treatment - Wayne, NJ Podiatrist Dr. Bruce Calligaro discusses the symptoms, causes and treatments for heel pain (plantar fasciitis). www.waynefoot.com Heel pain is most often caused by plantar fasciitis, a condition that is sometimes also called heel spur syndrome when a spur is present. Heel pain may also be due to other causes, such as a stress fracture, tendonitis, arthritis, nerve irritation, or, rarely, a cyst. Because there are several potential causes, it is important to have heel pain properly diagnosed. A foot and ankle surgeon is able to distinguish between all the possibilities and determine the underlying source of your heel pain. What Is Plantar Fasciitis? Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that extends from the heel to the toes. In this condition, the fascia first becomes irritated and then inflamed, resulting in heel pain. Causes The most common cause of plantar fasciitis relates to faulty structure of the foot. For example, people who have problems with their arches, either overly flat feet or high-arched feet, are more prone to developing plantar fasciitis. Wearing non-supportive footwear on hard, flat surfaces puts abnormal strain on the plantar fascia and can also lead to plantar fasciitis. This is particularly evident when one's job requires long hours on the feet. Obesity may also contribute to plantar fasciitis. Visit our website www.waynefoot.com

2. Do your feet tingle every time you sit down?
3. Do you just blame it on "sleeping on" your feet or hands?

If you answered "yes" to any or all of these questions, then I'm glad you're reading this. The tingling or dullness in your hands and feet may be a warning sign of diabetes.

Diabetic Nerve Pain:Tingling Or paralysis in Hands and Feet - A Warning Sign of Diabetes?

This sensation of tingling or dullness has alternative names such as:

Tingling or dullness can be serious. Call your doctor immediately

Diabetic Nerve Pain:Tingling Or paralysis in Hands and Feet - A Warning Sign of Diabetes?

Diabetic Nerve Pain:
Honest to God, its 3:10 Am. I can't sleep, but I feel so lucky.

One of my patients died yesterday. My wife of 31 one years is asleep next to me. How lucky am I?

Judy presented to me about 10 weeks ago with acute sciatica, and low back pain.

Diabetic Nerve Pain:Doctor, Are You Focused on the Right Things?

At first, it seemed straightforward enough. By the end of week one, I sensed something thoroughly different. Nothing gave her whatever but very passive relief, nighttime was unbearable. Then she advanced critical weakness of the legs and gait changes. Interestingly, her neuro signs were still unilateral nerve root, but that changed oh so fast in 48 hrs. Something was "bad wrong", here as one of my earliest professors would say.

He husband who I have cared for for 25 years was with her every moment. Very concerned. Scared for Judy.

I called her Pcp who immediately began a hospital intake after we both voiced concerns about unrelenting night pain and progressive leg weakness now justifying admission and a unblemished workup.

Judy went down hill fast. Initially, what started as a straightforward sciatica was next concept by her neurologist to be Gullien-Barre' Syndrome.

When medication (steroids, etc) did not help significantly she then fast had plasmaphoresis, and was sent to transitional care. She never improved significantly.

Very quickly, it was established she had some very aggressive non-specific demyelinating disease.

In essence, all this happened inside of 3 months.

Judy and Bob were married for 50 or so years. Over in a flash. There is nothing any of us as her team would have done any different, or better. But, it still sucks.

Of course we see this as part of practice, and way more if you spend a lot of time in hospitals. I did four years of this type of transitional care while in college, and I still see the face of the pretty 23-year-old girl dying of a brain tumor, and many others 30+ years later.

So, yesterday morning, after my staff broke the news (we had called Bob the night before to check on Judy), instead of bitching about how so many obstacles are being hurled onto the path of us in practice, I felt no ifs ands or buts lucky. I immediately concept about my wife and daughter.

For some intuit next I start mental this morning about the physician from an insurance carrier trying to lecture me last Monday morning on no ifs ands or buts ridiculous daily report keeping, way beyond any proper of care. I told him so. I also told him I would gladly accomplish a high level encounter at each re-exam (including a very detailed Pfsh on each Cc, in the absence of changes, or any danger signs over the last 2 years. Yes, I did reveal it all on this case in question, and documented all reflexes, sensory, motor, ortho tests, no fever, night sweats, bowels, and bladder.

I also explained that the company he reviews for denies such follow-up services as "not medically necessary" for the same Dx, so this will cost the outpatient an supplementary 150 or so out of pocket, for each flare up of the Same condition).

Just for good measure, he then tells me he cannot illustrate adjusting more than one area. In his mind, the pelvis, upper lumbar spine and Tl Joints can't perhaps need attentiveness a 2-year postoperative laminectomy 62-year-old diabetic lady with back pain and sciatica. Even though her Vas scores went from 10-3, in 5 visits, that just did not adequately document a good outcome measure.

Huh?

And I am mental this is just nuts. There's no base or rational clinical sense in this at all. This is not good chiropractic or good medicine. And I told him, "Screw all of this. outpatient care all the time has to be the most prominent thing here". He'll never get it.

A year ago, it still made sense to work for these people. Now, if this keeps up they are history in my book.

Doctor, I know you know outpatient care has got to be your entire focus when seeing patients. The challenge is of course to do it rationally, thoroughly and not blind sighted by irrelevancy.

And when you're not with patients, just make sure you are focused on and spending time with the things and population you value most in life.

Because when its done, that's all there is.
