How can I recover from weakness in one leg after having a cerebral infarction?

Thanks for the invitation! After having a cerebral infarction, one side of the leg is weak, the recovery in this case, including internal medicine, rehabilitation and functional exercise, and even surgical management, here is relatively complex.

First of all, the most basic is the internal medicine drug treatment, improve the relevant examination, clear the relevant specific conditions of the body, and actively apply drugs to improve the circulation and nutrition of the nerve, so as to reduce the possibility of further progression of the disease, to maintain a relatively stable state, and to lay a good foundation for the subsequent recovery. In addition, many times, if the use of drugs, can also effectively promote the recovery of limb muscle strength, improve intracranial blood supply.

Secondly, it is the rehabilitation function exercise, for cerebral infarction, the general condition is stabilized in about 7~10 days, if stabilized, timely go to the rehabilitation function exercise for the relevant treatment is very necessary, which includes a series of measures such as acupuncture, tuina, massage, physiotherapy and so on, and the best is to be transferred to the rehabilitation department in time to carry out the corresponding rehabilitation exercise, they have professional equipment, instruments and personnel. The best thing to do is to transfer to the rehabilitation department in time for the appropriate rehabilitation exercises.

Don't wait until three months to recover, as this often results in the loss of the period when recovery is easiest. Once the condition has stabilized, early rehabilitation is essential, and although there may be fluctuations in the recovery process, the benefits of early recovery outweigh the disadvantages.

Finally, it is necessary to clarify the fundamental nature of the state of the blood vessels, if indeed there are problems with the blood vessels, such as severe stenosis or even occlusion, it is necessary to be treated by surgery, of course, there is a certain degree of risk of surgery, it must be carefully to choose, in the clinic there are also a lot of people who have done the surgery after the body's strength has increased, the intracranial blood supply has been improved, but instead of in the late stage to be able to have a very good The result of the surgery is that the blood supply to the skull is improved.

Cerebral infarction said simple and simple, said difficult and difficult, depending on how you want to treat, want a what kind of result, so if you have the ability to go to the three large hospitals neurology, neurosurgery, after all, the big hospitals for an understanding of the disease is more effective, don't simply think that I every day as long as the infusion of I can be good, this point of view is very wrong. If you want to go deeper, here bread contains a lot of problems.

Blessings to all of you for good health!

If you have any questions you can private message me, not able to read on this, but can give you a relatively correct advice. Feel free to like, comment, retweet, and follow me to bring you to the real world of neurosurgery (brain surgery).

One side of the body is not good after cerebral infarction, you can go to the regular hospital for rehabilitation. The effect is better, my aunt cerebral infarction aftereffects are very heavy, at first sit can not sit up, whenever sitting up behind the two people have to top back to back sitting (because he weighs more than 180 pounds), a look at the situation of the family especially on fire. Later in the city hospital did a month of rehabilitation, can sit up, but because of the cousin and cousin's work is too busy, no way to only have to go home to recuperate, and then asked the Chinese medicine to the home massage and acupuncture, the effect is really magical, after more than two months can be their own stick walking, indeed quite magical. As long as you insist on treatment and have confidence, you will get well.

Among the complications of cerebral infarction, limb paralysis and muscle movement disorders are the most common, manifesting as paralysis of one or both limbs, facial muscle paralysis, resulting in weakness or difficulty in walking, speech and eating disorders, the severity of which is affected by the size of the cerebral infarction area and the duration of the infarction.

However, if there are still limb and language disorders one year after the onset of cerebral infarction, it belongs to the sequelae of cerebral infarction, and the treatment of sequelae is mainly based on the prevention of recurrence, coupled with the rehabilitation of local improvement.

This is also often said that the best recovery time for cerebral infarction in the second week after the stabilization of the condition to within one year, and within six months is the golden recovery period, a variety of dysfunctional recovery effect is better, it is not to say that after the optimal recovery period, to do the rehabilitation treatment is useless, in fact, it is useful, but the effect will be greatly reduced.

Rehabilitation for cerebral infarction consists of.
1、Limb function exercise

2. Language function training

3. Guidance on commonly used drugs

4. Dietary life guidance

5. Psychological care

Cerebral infarction caused by limb paralysis of different degrees, within one year can be active rehabilitation treatment, with secondary prevention of medication. If it takes more than one year, it is basically a sequela period, and the rehabilitation effect will not be obvious. If the tension is too high, the doctor may give medication to lower the tension.

Two months is not a long time, and recovery is not particularly difficult at this point.

Recovery from cerebral infarction sequelae is a long-term goal. Patients with cerebral infarction sequelae usually have symptoms such as limitation of limb movement, slurred speech, and crooked eyes and mouth, which seriously jeopardize the normal life activities of the patients and also cause mental stress.

The key here is the state of the tissue in the brain area, whether the necrotic area is still in ischemic state, and the location and extent of the necrotic area. The former determines the speed of recovery and the chance of recurrence, while the latter determines the difficulty of treatment.



Basic tools:

Sequelae of cerebral infarction need to be controlled by medication, and at the same time need to pay attention to diet and regular activity and exercise.

Drugs can prevent blood coagulation, play a role in controlling the deterioration of the disease, control the diet can minimize the viscosity of the blood, reduce the incidence of three highs, exercise can restore muscle strength, you can do some appropriate lifting legs, lifting the hands, flexion and extension, etc., if the disease is serious and can not be active, you can ask relatives to help with muscle strength recovery.

Also need to see whether the patient has the motivation to recover, to often encourage the patient, many patients suffer from cerebral infarction, after treatment, activity difficulties, communication difficulties, urinary and fecal abnormalities and other circumstances, the life gradually disappointed, the condition is delayed, and once again more serious recurrence of the disease, endangering the patient's life, but there are many patients, such as which patient I spoke of above, through the encouragement of family members, the family and themselves to work together to successfully restore health. However, there are many patients, such as the one I mentioned above, who have successfully recovered their health through the encouragement of their families and the joint efforts of themselves and their families.



Means of treatment:

The necrotic regional tissues cannot be regenerated, but in order to achieve the goal of restoring limb function, it is not necessary to "bring the dead back to life", we can completely activate the dormant nerve cells around the wake up, so that they can participate in the daily work of the regional tissues again, so with the basic means mentioned above, it is possible for the majority of patients with cerebral infarction to return to normal. The majority of patients with cerebral infarction can be restored to normalcy and say goodbye to the days when they need to be taken care of by others.


Cerebral infarction sequelae can be recovered, but the recovery is more difficult, actively explore the responsible lesions, and carefully follow the medical advice, the vast majority of patients, can reap satisfactory results.

I hope my answer helps you!

I have a sick friend who also had weakness in one leg. Through a year of hard exercise [cheering] the thigh started to gain strength. He can walk a little over 10,000 steps a day. It would be impossible to get back to her old self. Walking or a limp, which has been in her best state, to recover by their own perseverance exercise, family massage, to put it bluntly ah spirit can not be down, who are not your own, everything also rely on themselves.

Thank you for trusting me to answer: seize the time to exercise, family members to help physical recovery, their own self-discipline to enhance confidence, a little bit can not be moved, family members to help and assist with lending a hand. Can return to self-care is victory, complete recovery is impossible. Dietary adjustments, family mentality directly affects the mood of the patient. In a word, we can overcome by ourselves, and we can live in joy and freedom now.

Exercise is the best medicine, only exercise in order to make the sinews and muscles do not atrophy, but to do what you can, do not because of mobility and not exercise, to avoid the cold weather hours after a long time exercise will slowly recover, at least will not be completely paraplegic due to muscle atrophy, but also to insist on taking medication, we have several people in the local area have improved, which bedridden complementary to the static care are completely can not be moved, life lies in motion.
