What causes chest pain shortness of breath and leg pain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Blood clots can do both. A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blood clot that travels through the bloodstream from somewhere in the body (often the large vessels located in the back of the lower legs) and ends up in the lungs( or possibly the pulmonary arterty) and occludes or partially occludes the lungs fields, resulting in shortness of breath or even death. There may also be several other unrelated causes for the symptoms you are asking about.

How do you get used to pain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You're not saying what kind of pain it is - emotional or physical - but the answer is to SEE A PSYCHIATRIST and/or your regular doctor. DO NOT be fooled into thinking things like you have no worth, or things would be better if you were not around. You are smart enough to know that you were put in this world for a purpose. Your pain also serves a purpose. It is a warning signal that something is very wrong. The doctor can help you discover what it is.

How to relieve tailbone and sciatica nerve pain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Get two tennis balls and but them in an old men's sock. Tie the end of the sock and then lie on the tennis balls or put the sock with the tennis balls against a door Frame and back against it and roll it up and down your static nerve. This should help release that tightness. Also lay flat on your stomach and have someone but the ball of their fist or their elbow into that nerve and gently rub until it releases sometimes they may have to try to pull your leg up and stretch it out for you. Then ice it for twenty minutes.

Where does neuropathy come from?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Despite the fact that this is posted in the dermatorlogy section and that the sensation (burning pain, heaviness, cold, pins/needles, etc) can be felt in the skin, this is not a skin problem. Neuropathy is a nerve issue, generally the peripheral nerves such as those that lead to the arms, wrists or hands/legs, shins or feet. The causes are numerous and can include diabetes (very common) arthritis, injury, contraindications (bad reactions) to medication, vitamin deficiency or excess, or even heavy metal poisoning. This is not something to treat over the internet, and should be addressed by a board certified neurologist or pain management specialist. Neuropathy can often be treated by mediations containing anti-convulsants (anti-seizure medication) to slow down the excitable neurons. There are also many physical therapy techniques that can reduce the annoying and/or painful symptoms. Take away message: neuropathy is not a normal part of aging and is something that should be examined by a doctor and treated as soon as possible. Its course can often be reversed, but can become permanent if not addressed.

Could be a postural problem, especially if you are spending a lot of time sitting at work etc. Speak to a physiotherapist. They can give you exercises and stretches to do that will help. They will also teach you the correct way to sit, stand and walk. It also can be a certain movement you may have done that has resulted in your pain. Perhaps you have strained it. Or if you were in an accident earlier it might explain the pains you are feeling, check with a doctor to make sure everything is ok.

Can you get neuropathy from a fall?

User Avatar

Asked by Ropaul1

Neuropathy can cause loss of protective sensation (LOPS) resulting in decreased sensation in the bottom of the feet. As foot sensation is one of our primary balance mechanisms, it is conceivable an individual may posture themselves close to the limit of their stability and not recognize their position. A slight further off-balancing can then result in a seemingly sudden fall. As many individuals with neuropathy may have restricted the speed of activity for some time attempting to prevent a fall, they may find their ability to recover from a significant loss of balance restricted by low functioning muscles and balance organs.
