Why are my legs sore and weak?

Many of our friends experience soreness and weakness in their legs in life, but they don’t know what causes it. There are many reasons for weak and sore legs, such as endocrine disorders, calcium deficiency, kidney deficiency, etc. If the soreness and weakness persist, you can seek medical attention in time, find out the cause and then prescribe the right medicine.

Why do women's legs become weak?

1. Women's weak legs may be caused by endocrine disorders. Endocrine disorders are a common disease among women, mainly caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. If it is caused by endocrine disorders, you should pay attention to choosing appropriate conditioning medicines according to your physical condition. It is best to use Chinese herbal medicine or Chinese patent medicine for conditioning, pay attention to changing unhealthy living habits, and ensure adequate sleep.

Second, the lack of calcium in the human body can cause weak legs. Calcium deficiency can cause many adverse physiological reactions, especially in women. Women in menopause are more prone to calcium deficiency. You should pay attention to eating more calcium-supplementing foods. Milk has a better calcium supplement effect, so you should pay attention to drinking more milk to improve the phenomenon of weak legs and supplement the calcium needed by the body.

Third, weak legs may also be caused by osteoporosis. Women in menopause are prone to osteoporosis and often experience symptoms of weak legs. In this case, you should go to the hospital for examination, understand the specific causes in time, actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and adjust the body in time to effectively improve the symptoms. There are many reasons for weak legs.

4. Generally, soreness and weakness in the waist and knees are manifestations of kidney deficiency. Women’s problems with menstruation, dysmenorrhea, pregnancy, and childbirth can easily cause physical weakness, thereby further depleting kidney energy. Especially if you have had surgery before, as surgery is very damaging to your health.

Repeat 10-20 times to make joints flexible and improve walking ability.

Leg swinging: Hold a tree or a wall with one hand, swing your calves forward first, so that your toes are pointed upwards, then swing them backwards, push your toes backwards, straighten your feet, and stretch your legs. Swing your legs alternately, 80 to 100 times each time. This method can prevent lower limb muscle atrophy, weakness, numbness, lower leg cramps and other symptoms.

The harm of women's leg soreness

An acidic body constitution is like a silent health killer, constantly releasing harmful substances and destroying your health. Women with acidic constitutions have many problems. According to health experts, the body fluids of healthy people should be slightly alkaline, with a pH value between 7.35 and 7.45, and can be automatically adjusted through our respiratory system, urinary system and skin. However, due to bad living habits, our physique will gradually become acidic. The characteristic of an acidic physique is that the pH value of body fluids is often lower than 7.35, leading to circulatory disorders and acid-base imbalance in the body, thus forming an acidic physique.

People with an acidic constitution are prone to fatigue, lack of energy, easy to catch colds, often suffer from back pain, dizziness and tinnitus, cold hands and feet, and are overly sensitive and anxious. The relevant World Health Organization once released a set of data: 70% to 80% of the world's people have an unhealthy acidic constitution, and the vast majority of them have their condition worsened due to the acidification of their constitution.
