Question
Could weakness and unsteady walking be related to genetic disorders? What are the symptoms and treatment methods?
Answer
Numbness in the hands and feet is often caused by poor blood circulation in the extremities. Although this symptom usually subsides quickly, if it persists for more than a day, it may be a sign of an underlying illness. Causes of numbness include diabetes, drug reactions, neuritis, and cervical spondylosis. Treatment methods should first be based on the underlying cause, which may include medication, surgical treatment, or lifestyle adjustments. For numbness caused by cervical spondylosis, exercise and massage can be used to alleviate symptoms.
