Causes and Symptoms of Leg Impingement: Due to sedentary lifestyle, increasing stress and poor eating habits, today people are facing many related health problems. One such new health problem is called leg impingement. You must have heard the names of diseases like heart attack, brain stroke many times, but do you know anything about a stroke on your legs? This condition is considered as dangerous as stroke and heart attack. If this disease is not treated in time, the person’s feet start to rot and due to a blockage in the blood circulation, that part of the person’s foot becomes lifeless.
What is a leg attack?
A stroke is a condition where blood clotting occurs somewhere in the veins of the legs. Because of this the blood vessels become thick and the blood flow starts to slow down. This problem occurs mainly in diabetic patients and smokers.
Which people are at greater risk of a stroke on their legs?-
Most of the risk of stroke in the leg remains in diabetic patients. Let us tell you, 20 percent of diabetic patients suffer a stroke on their legs. Sometimes the situation is so serious that the patient has to have his leg amputated or the infection spreads so much that the patient even loses his life.
According to research published in the New England Journal of Medicine, 43 percent of diabetic patients who have to have their feet amputated die within 5 years of the operation. A diabetic patient is often advised to take more care of his feet than his face. This is said to be because blood circulation does not occur properly in the veins of the legs, which increases the risk of infection.
Symptoms of a stroke on the legs –
-There is severe pain in that part of the leg where the blood circulation is stopped.
– Feeling severe pain in the muscles or numbness in the legs when walking.
In such a situation, the part of the leg where blood circulation has stopped becomes cold.
– The skin on any part of the foot will be shiny, smooth and dry.
-Wounds, infections or boils of the thumb or toes do not heal or heal very slowly.
Ways to avoid an attack on the legs –

– Keep your weight under control.
