summary

My father's health is not very good. He often says that he is not comfortable. As a result, he was found suffering from arteriosclerosis of lower limbs. Occasionally, his legs hurt when he attacked. Recently, the pain has become more and more serious, and he can't sleep at night. The doctor said that it is a resting pain. Let's share with you the common problem of resting pain!

What is resting pain

The first aspect: rest pain, is the mid-term manifestation of the disease, when the disease develops, lower limb ischemia aggravates, can not walk also have pain, known as resting pain. This kind of pain is mostly confined to the distal part of the toe or foot, especially at night. The pain is aggravated when lying in position. The lower limb drooping can be relieved, and the nocturnal resting pain or rest pain can be relieved. Because the cardiac output is the least during sleep and the amount of blood injected into the lower limbs is also reduced, the pain is often aggravated at night.

The second aspect: both arterial and venous lesions can cause resting pain (persistent limb pain). The former is more severe than the latter, and it shows that the ischemia of vasculitis is aggravating, which is close to the degree of loss of compensation. Most of the resting pain is related to the occurrence of local ischemic neuritis, which mostly occurs in patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans, followed by thromboangiitis obliterans.

The third aspect: the symptoms of ischemic neuritis often occur at night, rarely during the day. Because the patients focus on the discomfort of the limbs at night, or because the blood pressure at bedtime is low during daytime activities, the blood flow in the obstructed blood vessels is reduced in patients with occlusive diseases, which makes the peripheral nerves in the state of chronic hypoxia easy to arouse neurological symptoms, so the occurrence of resting pain.
