Redness of painful limbs: symptoms, causes and treatment
Erythomelalgia With the sponsorship of the pain of the painful limbs is a rare disease, either in terms of diagnosis or in terms of treatment, the researchers have accepted that this disease characterized by fever, redness and episodes of pain in the hands or feet, the opposite of the Raynaud’s phenomenon, which is characterized by a lacemia. This disease mainly affects the limbs, especially the palms of the hands and feet, and is characterized by a feeling of burning pain that increases over time and is accompanied by redness, fever and palpitations in the limbs. Patients quickly learn the relationship between pain and a certain temperature. One of the distinctive features of this disease is that the pain is afraid if you bring the limbs into ice water, so that the red limbs are diagnosed by showing the connection between the complaints of the patient and the rise in the skin temperature. Symptoms of painful red limbs include the following symptoms: 1. The condition of the pain and location thereof includes the following: The disease begins with interrupted attacks often of severe pain, and the burn associated with the hot red points. There is a noticeable redness in the skin, increased skin temperature, especially in the feet during attacks. Hands may be the basic fields to participate in some affected individuals, although both sides of the body are usually affected, but participation can be limited to one side. 2.. The duration of the pain is the unit. There are two cases that can be taken by the pain, namely: The disease often begins with transverse lanes of red, for example, it occurs once a week or once a month, as the attacks can increase in the frequency over time; Progress can sometimes occur gradually and polite, or remain relatively moderate and not -variable in nature or degree for years or decades. In the case of others with this condition, in some cases the symptoms can suddenly begin, and its intensity can spread and can become very sharp over a period of weeks. 3.. The spread of infection rarely spreads bilaterally, ie from the bones, or from the hands to the highest arms, or from the upper ends to the lower limbs, or from the lower limbs to the upper ends, or on the ears or face. 4. Other symptoms may occasionally cause associated symptoms on a semi -continuous basis, as attacks or symptoms are sometimes prescribed as burning, that is, sudden redness, pain, heat and swelling. During the glow, some injured persons may also suffer from tingling pain or other symptoms, similar to those associated with peripheral neuropathy, as many patients reported that glowing may occur late on the day and may occur in bed at night, which is why it is possible to obstruct sleep. Causes and factors of the risk of red limbs There are specific risk factors and reasons associated with both the first and secondary red limbs, as these factors and causes may include the following: 1 Age is the redness of the initial painful parties more common in children and adolescents, while the red pain of the high secondary parties is more frequent in adults. 2. Genetics (SCN9A) is a genetic mutation that affects up to 15% of people with red red limbs, as genetic mutations are inherited, but it can also be new mutations. 3. Optimized diseases include the accompanying diseases: It is believed that people with auto -immune diseases, such as: diabetes or lupus are at greater risk of infection with red limbs. This causes the presence and excitement of other health conditions, including hypothetical reproductive diseases. Some neurological diseases increase the risk, including multiple sclerosis. Nerve damage caused by other cases, including sciatica and frost bite, are risk factors. Neuropathy is caused by peripheral nerve damage, that is, nerves outside the brain and spinal cord that transport information to the muscles, where neuropathy weakness, numbness and pain in the hands and feet cause. 4. Other health factors The poisoning of heavy metals is linked to the redness of the painful ends, and this is probably the result of the entry of toxic amounts of these substances, such as: mercury and arsenic to the soft tissues in the body. Heavy mineral poisoning can occur due to industrial exposure, air or water pollution, exposure to food, medication and paint containing lead. 5. Diet The diet is also linked to the disease; Food rich in spices and, for example, excessive drinking of alcohol is regularly informed about the glow of the disease. The complications of painful red limbs include the most important complications as follows: ulceration. gnawing. gangrene. Significant infection wounds, which if they are severe enough, can lead to amputation. Diagnosis of painful red limbs There is no specific test for the diagnosis of red limbs. This condition is therefore diagnosed by observing symptoms and excluding other possible causes. Some tests may be performed to exclude other cases, including a blood test and photography, and children with symptoms of primary illness and family history of the disease can also be tested in search of a genetic proof of the municipality (SCN9A). The treatment of painful limbs contains the most important treatment methods as follows: 1. Medicines as a condition for the skin. Some medications that are placed directly on the skin to relieve the symptoms of red inflammation may be in the form of ice, gels or sprays, where you can be prescribed cream or patch as sprays to make heat receptors in your skin less sensitive. A local anesthetic called Lidocaine can also be described as cream, gel or spray. 2.. Medicles taken orally can help a number of different medications that are taken orally to relieve symptoms, as you may need to try many different medications under the supervision of a doctor before finding the medicine or the group you suit. The treatment options will also rely on the type of pain in the patient, and many drugs should refer to a specialized center to carefully monitor the potential benefits and side effects. Types of medication that the doctor may prescribe: Nutrition supplements: such as magnesium, which can help open blood vessels. Aspirin: It is used for adults only, not for children. Anti -epilepsy -Medication: Like gabapentin or carbamazepine. Blood pressure medication: Include a drug to open blood vessels and increase blood flow, or beta blockers to reduce blood flow, depending on the cause of pain. Low doses of antidepressants: such as duloxetine, venlafaxine and amitriptyline. Angelics: Like a prescription. 3.. Medicines given by injection if the oral medicine fails to control the symptoms can be given directly into the bloodstream through intravenous injection. The prevention of the red limbs is not possible to prevent the disease, but attacks can be prevented and the severity of symptoms can be reduced by the following: Avoid exposure to heat. Ease. Lift the legs or arms. Put cold compresses on the legs or arms or dip them in cold water. Common types include the types of diseases in the following: 1. The first painful limbs redness. This base is related to certain or unknown genes, which means it has no cause, and this kind of redness of the first painful parties is more frequent in children, especially in the first decade of age, but someone can be affected at any age, but for some young people the symptoms can begin during puberty. 2. The redness of the painful painful seconds. This type is associated with other diseases or cases, especially auto -immune diseases, and disorders that are more frequent in adults, as its incidence occurs in the middle of life.
