One in four people faced the problem of painful heaviness of the legs. The sensations that arise are described in different ways: legs grow numb, cramped, ache, swell or buzz. The reasons for this symptomatology are varied.

Do not ignore the body's call for help. The reason for the buzzing or swelling of the legs can be both ordinary fatigue and a serious illness. Timely diagnosis significantly increases the chances of a speedy restoration of the natural processes of the human body.

Legs are the herald of the body

Often, a person still does not experience discomfort in the area of the focus of a painful lesion in the body, and the legs have already given a distress signal. After all, it is they who carry on themselves a daily significant load, ensuring the transportation of the entire (often excess) body weight. On average, a person takes up to 10 thousand steps a day. In a lifetime, this can be compared to walking around the world. Man is the only representative of the planet moving vertically.

This type of walking is provided by a straight spine (unlike primates) and the structure of the legs (including features of the knees and feet). It was upright walking that caused some diseases. The human circulatory system struggles every second with the laws of gravity, for this it has a whole "squad of helpers". Violation of the functional process of the body can cause stagnation of blood, as a result, the legs swell.

Muscles act as support for the active work of the veins and lymphatic vessels. The weakening of the muscle rhythm immediately affects the general condition of the body.

The reasons preceding the weakening of muscle tone are commonplace:

• sedentary lifestyle;
• overwork of the legs;
• overweight;
• tight shoes or clothes, etc.

The legs are as far away from the “fiery motor” as possible, so they need third-party support. Each person must independently take care of ensuring the maximum uninterrupted service life of his body and retain the possibility of vertical movement.

What are your feet buzzing about?

The appearance of discomfort in the legs can be a symptom of a disease of the veins or arteries, the nervous system, the spine, or metabolic disorders in the body. It may also indicate damage to blood vessels, lymph nodes, joints, muscles, bones, tendons.

Pain in the legs is a signal of a dangerous disease - diabetes mellitus and diabetic foot.

Often, leg pain occurs during pregnancy. Expectant mothers need to listen carefully to their bodies. Before taking any measures, you need to consult with your doctor to find out why your legs are swollen.

During the diagnosis, the following causes of painful sensations during pregnancy can be found out:

• Varicose veins. Varicose veins during pregnancy are, unfortunately, a very common disease. Usually painful sensations appear in the evening;
• Flat feet. During pregnancy, body tissues undergo transformation. To some extent, they "become softer." Against this background, the expectant mother may develop flat feet, it is this that can cause pain in the legs;
• Convulsions. Low electrolyte levels during pregnancy can lead to involuntary muscle contractions;
• Muscle pain. Muscle pain can be caused by the release of lactic acid during stress on the body. It is not necessary to attend workouts for this. During pregnancy, an unprepared body cannot cope with the daily increasing load. You can help him by doing simple exercises in the morning and before bed.

Only a doctor can determine why the legs hurt and prescribe the appropriate procedures.

Lower limbs - increased attention

People pay little attention to unpleasant sensations in the legs. Many people believe that it is enough to remove the symptom without understanding why the discomfort appeared. The use of home remedies mainly leads to a decrease in swelling and an improvement in the nutrition of the skin. This can further complicate the diagnosis of the disease.

Before you try the "grandmother's method" on yourself or sign up for expensive massage procedures, you should definitely consult with a specialist. Early detection of the disease increases the chances of a speedy recovery and eliminates the risk of more serious complications.

Modern medicine offers a balanced set of procedures and examinations, during which the causes of the disease and effective measures to restore the body will be clarified. The main thing is to do everything on time.

Saving feet is a handiwork

Individually selected treatment, taking into account all the accompanying factors, which does not carry the risk of complications, will help restore the body's work, even in patients with experience. But a favorable outcome does not exclude tedious and lengthy procedures.

In order to avoid this and to ensure a full-fledged quality of life, each person must act as a guarantor of his own health. To do this, you need to follow a few simple rules and transfer the correct way of life to the status of the usual.

First, try:

• Eliminate heavy physical activity;
• Eliminate heavy lifting;
• Get rid of the habit of sitting "cross-legged";
• Remove too low chairs;
• If possible, do not take hormonal drugs;
• Limit heat stress on the body;
• Wear comfortable shoes;
• Do not abuse massage (an unprofessional procedure can be harmful);
• Balance your diet;
• Eliminate the use of harmful products;
• Control body weight;
• Do not neglect light sports;
• Love a contrast shower.

Legs are a very powerful instrument of the human body, the role of which is difficult to overestimate. And, like every mechanism, they need regular care and prevention.

Beautiful slender legs are not only a privilege of youth, but an indicator of the quality of life and health.
