Diabetes and Nerve Damage: The Numbness and Tingling ⚡

Understanding Diabetic Neuropathy

Ever experienced a pins-and-needles sensation or numbness in your hands or feet? If you have diabetes, you might be familiar with this uncomfortable feeling. This condition, known as diabetic neuropathy, occurs when high blood sugar levels damage nerves over time.

How Does Diabetes Affect Your Nerves?

When your blood sugar is consistently high, it can damage the small blood vessels that supply your nerves with the oxygen and nutrients they need to function properly. This damage can lead to a variety of symptoms, including:

Numbness and tingling: This is often the first sign of diabetic neuropathy. You may feel like you're wearing gloves or socks that are too tight.Pain: Nerve damage can cause sharp, shooting pains or a burning sensation.Weakness: Muscles may become weak, making it difficult to perform daily tasks.Loss of balance and coordination: Damage to the nerves in your feet can increase your risk of falls.Digestive problems: Neuropathy can affect the nerves in your digestive system, leading to constipation, diarrhea, or difficulty swallowing.

Types of Diabetic Neuropathy

There are different types of diabetic neuropathy, each affecting different parts of the body:   Peripheral neuropathy: This is the most common type and affects the nerves in your hands and feet.Autonomic neuropathy: This affects the nerves that control your heart, blood pressure, and digestive system.Proximal neuropathy: This affects the nerves in your thighs, hips, and buttocks.Managing Diabetic NeuropathyWhile there is no cure for diabetic neuropathy, there are several ways to manage the symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease:

Strict blood sugar control: Keeping your blood sugar levels within a healthy range is the most important thing you can do to protect your nerves.Pain management: Over-the-counter pain relievers, prescription medications, and physical therapy can help relieve pain.Foot care: Regular foot exams and proper foot care can help prevent ulcers and infections.Lifestyle changes: Quit smoking, maintain a healthy weight, and exercise regularly.Living with Diabetic NeuropathyLiving with diabetic neuropathy can be challenging, but with the right management, you can still enjoy a good quality of life. It's important to work closely with your healthcare team to develop a personalized treatment plan.

Remember, you're not alone. There are many people living with diabetic neuropathy who have found ways to manage their condition and live fulfilling lives.

chronic pain is just a sexy person thing, I think

I was explaining to my mom what AO3 was, but when I pronounced the name, I said are-chive of our own. Yes, I pronounced it like chives. Like the ones you use in cooking.

A switch flipped in my brain, and I didn't realize I was saying it wrong.

THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME (TOS) TOS are a group of syndromes involving pressure on the brachial plexus. Each syndrome is named according the structure that is causing the compression. 1️⃣ ANTERIOR SCALENE SYNDROME: The fibres of the brachial plexus must pass through a narrow aperture between scalenes anterior and medius. Any increased tone in one of these muscles (usually anterior), will provide enough compression to produce symptoms. Scarring and adhesions from injuries can be causes of compression, particularly if found at the attachments of the scalenes. Dysfunction or misalignent of the cervical/thoracic spine may also be a contributing factor to this syndrome. 2️⃣ COSTOCLAVICULAR SYNDROME: Symptoms result in this case when the neurovascular bundle is tractioned between the clavicle and the first rib. This is often bilateral, indicating a symmetrical postural cause. 3️⃣ PECTORALIS MINOR SYNDROME: In this case, the compression occurs where the neurovascular bundle passes between the tendon of pectoralis minor and the coracoid process of the scapula. Tractioning is greatest with the arm in abduction, but even with the arm dependent, enough pressure from postural problems or tight pectoralis muscles can cause symptoms. TOS can also compress the subclavian/axillary artery and/or vein. CAUSES: Crutch use, joint subluxation, adhesions and scarring, muscular hypertonicity from postural dysfunction, trigger points, occupational stresses, emotion stresses, all of which lead to shallow breathing and poor sleeping posture. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS: All thoracic outlet syndromes feature paraesthesia in the arm, forearm, hand, and fingers. Symptoms are usually unilateral, but can be bilateral, particularly if postural dysfunction is a main cause. Anterior scalene syndrome is also noted for edema in the hands and fingers. The cadaver videos demonstrate nicely the brachial plexus of nerves with relationship to TOS. TOS can cause compression of any of these nerves. #Physiotherapy #Osteopathy #Fisioterapia #Osteopatia #Therapy #PhysicalTherapy #Pilates #Yoga #TOS #Fascia #Nerve #CrossFit #ThoracicOutletSyndrome #NerveEntrapment #ShoulderPain #ArmPain #NervePain #HandPain https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb-S5E2gctG/?utm_medium=tumblr

Anyone see the problem 😂 I've been wearing these masks for a week now and can't wear my glasses with them, however, as long as nobody wants me to read anything or walk across the store, I'm all good! #coronavirus #essentials #frontlines #coronamemes #glasses #chronicallyfighting #chronicallyill #chronicallyfabulous #spoonieproblems #fibrowarrior #painwarrior #nervepain #nauseasucks #butyoudontlooksick #makeup #maskedup https://www.instagram.com/p/B-RPbCXJgSa/?igshid=72tlgwz81552
