Let's look at some symptoms of diseases on the toes. If the toes between the big and little toes begin to resemble an inverted "V" and the foot begins to increasingly resemble a hawk's foot, it is likely that we are talking about clear signs of hammertoes, a common foot deformity. With this disorder, the finger is bent at the location of the middle joint and becomes like a hammer. Usually this change does not entail any more serious consequences, but it does not look very attractive and often causes pain, especially if the choice of shoes is unsuccessful. If the toes have nowhere to straighten while walking, then over time they will take exactly this shape.
Have you started buying shoes that are fuller and your big toe is gradually turning to the side? Then this is a classic sign of the formation of a so-called bursa on the outside of the big toe; the same curvature sometimes occurs with the little toe. And the “bag”, or shaft, is a thick deformity of the big toe that can reach a fairly large size, and then the big toe, in search of a place, bends under the neighboring toe. Other obvious signs of such a disorder are redness, swelling and even pain.
The famous anthropologist Margaret Mead noticed that many South Sea islanders had hallux valgus, even though they had never worn shoes in their lives! Usually this disorder is inherited, especially if a person has improperly distributed pressure on the heel when walking and most of it falls on the forefoot.
Symptoms of diseases on the toes. Hallux valgus is most often observed in people with flat feet or low arches. There are conflicting opinions regarding the cause of this pathology. Some people believe that, as in the case of hammertoes, the person is at fault because they wore shoes that were too narrow, too small, or had very high heels. Others insist that hallux valgus is a hereditary change and the reason here is the incorrect distribution of weight on the feet, in which increased stress falls on the big toes. Sometimes this curvature is the first sign of impending arthritis.
Do you not wear shoes without backs because you have some kind of growth on your heel? Most likely, calcaneal exostosis, or “spur.” This bone formation, called Haglund's deformity, is characterized by the growth of the large calcaneus. Such “spurs” can be very painful, especially if, due to constant wearing of uncomfortable shoes that put pressure on the heel, you develop bursitis - inflammation of the synovial bursae filled with fluid to lubricate and soften the movements of the joints. This pathology is usually also hereditary.
Let's look at some symptoms of diseases on the fingers. Many of us grew up frightened by pictures of old women with knobby fingers hunting small children (remember the story of Hans and Gretel). Most women with knobby fingers show signs of osteoarthritis of the hands, not malice. These painful growths on the fingers are unfortunate signs of aging, often found in older people. In medical parlance, this phenomenon is called Heberden's nodes or Bouchard's nodes, depending on which finger and which joint is affected.
It has long been believed that cracking your fingers too often can lead to arthritis. But there is no exact confirmation of this theory. On the other hand, cracking your fingers causes damage to the soft tissues in the joints, as well as a decrease in the grasping ability of the hands.
Symptoms of diseases on the fingers. Fingers like sticks
Visual changes in the hands may look different. You may have come across people with fingers that resemble drumsticks. This disorder can develop on both or one hand, and sometimes even on one finger.
Usually this condition develops gradually and painlessly. But, unfortunately, it can be a sign of quite serious pathologies, especially if the appearance of the nails changes. Approximately every third patient with lung cancer has this symptom.
Stick fingers sometimes appear in cases of other types of cancer and lung dysfunction, such as fibrocystic degeneration and tuberculosis. In addition, the same external symptom accompanies Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as diseases of the heart, liver and thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism).
Fingers with thickened terminal phalanges (“drumsticks”) are considered one of the oldest clinical signs in medicine. Hippocrates was the first to describe the above manifestation in a patient with lung disease. Therefore, this change in the shape of the fingers is still called “Hippocrates’ fingers.”
Have you ever seen a person with permanently bent fingers, whose palm looks more like a bird's paw? He probably suffers from Dupuytren's disease (contracture), which is quite rare, slowly progressing, does not cause pain, but subsequently limits the mobility of the hand. This disorder usually develops from a small spot on the palm, resembling a callus, then progresses to thickening and scarring of the connective tissues of the palm and fingers. As a result, crooked fingers (most often the ring and little fingers) are a clear sign of this condition.
Although the cause is unknown, some people have a genetic predisposition. Dupuytren's contracture occurs more often in white-skinned residents of northern Europe (especially Scandinavians) and is more common in men than in women. Smokers and alcohol abusers are at risk. The disease can affect one or both hands. In most cases, the ring fingers are affected, followed by the little, middle and index fingers.
Dupuytren's disease is often found in diabetics and affects about two-thirds of people who have lived with diabetes for many years. Often the symptom appears in epileptics and people with diseases of the thyroid gland, liver and lungs. Men with curled fingers have rare connective tissue disorders called Peyronie's disease (curvature of the penis).
If only one finger is permanently flexed, this may be a sign of stenotic tenosynovitis. This anomaly most often develops in people who make constant, repetitive movements with their hands and fingers, for example, while working or playing (on a computer keyboard). Those who perform monotonous actions for a long time with hard objects - tools, gardening equipment - are also at risk. As a result, the hands are subject to microtrauma. The same danger threatens patients with diabetes, hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, and some lung and skin infections. This disease occurs more often in women than in men.
It is believed that Dupuytren's disease dates back to the time of the Vikings, who conquered the British Isles and much of Northern Europe. Then this disease spread hereditarily to other regions. Although some patients with Dupuytren's contracture also experience stenotic tenosynovitis, these disorders are of a different nature. The latter can cause more severe pain. People with this pathology usually feel discomfort in the morning.
Dupuytren's disease was named after the 19th-century French surgeon Baron Guillaume Dupuytren, who first described the condition. He was rightly considered the greatest surgeon of his time. At least 11 other diseases and disorders bear his name. In addition to serving as court physician to King Louis XVIII Charles X, Dupuytren is said to have seen up to 10,000 patients a year.
Lump on the wrist or hand
Any tumor or neoplasm can be a cause for serious concern. But if you've recently developed a lump on the back of your hand, there's probably nothing to worry about. We are probably talking about a ganglion - a benign cyst that can form anywhere - on the hand, on the fingers and other parts of the body. These things happen more often to women, and are especially common among gymnasts.
Frostbite on the toes is common, since this part of the body is the least protected, just like the tip of the nose, face, and ears.
For the formation of frostbite, a number of factors are required: low ambient temperature, narrowing of peripheral vessels, and lack of local protection.
The provoking factors of the pathology are wet skin, wet shoes, and prolonged exposure to low temperatures. For frostbite to occur when local immunity is reduced, cold with low temperatures of -3-5 degrees is sufficient. In the practice of traumatologists, there have been cases of frostbitten skin in patients with positive environmental temperatures. These people had vascular disease that reduced blood flow. Mild frostbite of the fingers in patients with vasculitis, varicose veins, and endarteritis occurs even in the fall.
In the normal state of protective forces, the formation of frostbitten skin requires temperatures below minus 20 degrees Celsius, strong wind, and lack of skin protection.
Physiologically, in response to the narrowing of the lumen of the capillaries, mechanisms are activated aimed at opening additional blood flow paths (shunts), providing increased heat exchange of the skin.
Not every person and not every walk down the street ends with frostbite. The development of nosology will require a number of factors:
Low ambient temperature leads to constriction of peripheral vessels, which reduces heat transfer. Each person has individual characteristics of thermoregulatory systems. Under the influence of cold, death of the epidermis occurs (at stage 1), damage to the dermis (at stage 2), destruction of the muscular and skeletal systems (at stage 3-4).
Vascular spasm under the influence of cold depends on the depth of capillaries, the state of collateral shunts that provide microcirculation of the entire layer of the epidermis and deep-lying anatomical structures. In some people, the capillaries are located superficially, while in others they are deeper. In the first category of patients, frostbite of the skin appears under the influence of temperatures well below 25 degrees, but the damage quickly penetrates deeper.
When the capillaries are deep, the surface layer of the epithelium freezes quickly, but in such patients the death of the muscle and bone layer is rarely observed.
Depending on the prevalence and severity of pathological changes, different degrees and extent of pathological changes develop. At temperatures below 25 degrees, most people experience vascular spasm at the site of exposure to cold masses. The body’s protective reaction in response to this impact is the centralization of blood supply from the skin to the internal organs. In this case, the peripheral sections are practically devoid of microcirculation. Lack of oxygen and nutrients leads to tissue death.
If you detect frostbite in your fingers at an early stage, you can prevent the destruction of the deep layers of skin, muscles and bones. An important role is played not only by qualified, but also by first aid provided to a person suffering from frostbite.
It is better to consider the symptoms of frostbite in stages. The pre-reactive stage is a preclinical stage in which no tangible signs of pathology appear. If you warm up in time, then pathological changes during the stage do not occur, since the blood supply is not greatly impaired. As a rule, due to the absence of symptoms, a person does not avoid subsequent cooling after the appearance of changes in the pre-reactive period, which provokes deep damage.
Following this, symptoms of frostbite of the 1st degree are formed, when blueness appears on the skin in places where the skin comes into contact with cold masses. After warming up, slight pain and tingling occurs. Usually the symptoms of the nosology go away on their own, but qualified assistance will help speed up treatment.
At the third stage, symptoms arise due to damage to the deep layers of the skin, muscles, and bones. The set of additional symptoms is caused by damage to internal organs due to lack of oxygen, ingress of toxins from dead tissues, lack of nutrients, drop in blood pressure, decreased breathing rate, and “goose bumps.”
Systemic death of the body can be traced at stage 4 of the disease, when signs of systemic damage to the body appear. The accumulation of toxins in the blood leads to suppression of enzymatic reactions. Lack of oxygen supply to internal organs forms insufficiency, a change in the acid-base state of the blood.
The clearest sign of frostbite is a drop in overall body temperature below 33 degrees Celsius. Additional symptoms: decreased respiratory movements, pulse rate (less than 60 beats per minute). These changes are typical for mild frostbite.
Only with contact forms of pathology does a general decrease in the body’s temperament reaction not occur. Signs are observed only locally at the site of contact with a cold object. According to this scheme, the “iron” form develops in children.
The average degree of frostbite of the fingers is accompanied by a drop in overall body temperature in the range from 32 to 29 degrees Celsius. Drowsiness, general weakness, slow pulse of less than 50 degrees per minute, respiratory rate of 8-4 respiratory acts per minute, drop in blood pressure, these symptoms can lead to loss of consciousness.
In the severe stage of frostbite, a person begins to show signs of pronounced changes. The nosology is accompanied by loss of consciousness, a decrease in blood pressure, a pronounced decrease in the frequency of respiratory movements (no more than 4 per minute), pallor of the skin, and cyanosis.
Frostbite of the 4th degree is a condition in which it is necessary to place the injured person in the intensive care unit. Intoxication, tissue hypoxia, loss of consciousness are the first signs of stage 4 frostbite of the legs and other parts of the body.
To determine the types of first aid and the list of qualified procedures performed in a medical institution, it is important to highlight the main stage of the disease.
According to international standards, there are 4 stages of frostbite of the feet:
After treatment, a person is often left with a pathological marker: crooked nails with defects that remain after the blood supply to the nail bed is disrupted.
Light rubbing can be done to a person with 1st degree frostbite of the toes, but various types of massages are contraindicated due to the increased fragility of frostbitten vessels and the likelihood of blood clots spreading throughout the body.
The course of the pathology is aggravated by the use of alcohol, which first expands the peripheral capillaries and then provokes their spasm.
Once frostbite is detected, feet need to be warmed. For these purposes, the injured person must be in a warm room. A frostbitten limb is warmed up by gradually increasing the temperature in a basin or bath of water. Before warming up, the victim must remove wet socks or shoes. If patches of fabric stick to your toes, there is no need to remove them. At a medical facility, specialists will clean the wound and disinfect the defect.
In order not to introduce an infection into the wound, you do not need to pour cologne on it, as popular recommendations advise. There are more modern methods for cleaning and speeding up the healing of the area.
Warm sweet tea is allowed, but alcoholic drinks are prohibited. Some doctors recommend herbal teas, jelly, simple decoctions, and chicken broths. For degrees 2, 3, 4 frostbite, disinfection procedures should be carried out exclusively in a hospital. The list of aseptic drugs for the treatment of frostbite toe is quite extensive, but they are prescribed exclusively by a doctor.
Seek medical help as quickly as possible immediately after identifying signs of frostbite. Remember that improper treatment can be fatal, so all actions must be competent.
Any treatment for frostbite depends on the stage. Proper first aid is required from surrounding people or the injured person himself.
In the first stage, no special therapeutic procedures need to be done, except for cleaning the wound and warming the limb. To speed up recovery at the first stage, you can use regenerating ointments and vasodilators.
Physiotherapeutic procedures and antiseptics are the main treatment for first-degree frostbite of the legs. Ointments are also prescribed for the appearance of ulcerative defects.
For stage 1 frostbite of the lower extremities, standard treatment methods are prescribed:
It is better not to use folk recipes for the treatment of first-degree frostbite, since the nosology does not pose any particular danger, and cheap but effective ointments and tablets can be purchased at the pharmacy.
If you look at a photo on the global network that shows frostbite on the toes, you will visualize not only the blueness of the skin, but also the deformation of the nail. Vascular spasm of the distal part of the finger causes the nail bed to first turn blue and then turn pale.
With grade 2 nosology, the blisters will need to be opened, which is only possible in a medical facility. After opening the formations, the wound surface is treated with antiseptic solutions or ointments. A bandage is applied to the location of the defect, which must be changed every 2 hours. Physiotherapeutic procedures are allowed only after the vesicle has healed with crusts.
After opening the blisters, the skin around them is treated with salicylic acid. Bandages soaked in antibacterial solutions are applied to the damaged areas. To speed up regeneration, you will need to use Levomikol and Dermazin ointments. Disinfection can also be carried out by ultraviolet irradiation of tissues and electric light baths. To exclude secondary infection during the healing of pathological lesions, intramuscular administration of antibacterial agents such as penicillin is possible.
In the third or fourth stage of frostbitten skin, surgical removal of the sites of skin death is necessary to prevent the formation of gangrene or phlegmon with the need for subsequent amputation of the limb.
Treatment of third degree frostbite is carried out after removal of the blisters. To eliminate pus, you will need to apply bandages soaked in a hypertonic sodium chloride solution. Throughout the entire course of treatment for frostbite of the toes, dynamic monitoring of the patient will be required. If necessary, secondary areas of tissue necrosis and areas of local necrosis are removed. When the patient experiences severe pain when moving, specialists may apply a plaster cast.
In case of frostbite of the lower extremities of the 4th degree after the person is brought out of a comatose state, correction of homeostasis, vitamin balance, and prevention of damage to internal organs will be required. For these purposes, protein and vitamin-mineral complexes are prescribed. To exclude secondary infection, ultraviolet irradiation is recommended.
The prognosis for treatment of frostbite toes depends on the stage, extent and depth of skin damage. In severe forms, without emergency qualified assistance, death is possible. Illiterate and untimely first aid worsens the situation.
It is better to carry out prevention than to treat frostbitten skin of the lower extremities.
In any case, if a person’s toes hurt after frostbite, they should consult a doctor. With the external disappearance of signs of skin damage, pathological changes may persist in the dermis after the cessation of blood supply. The consequences of a situation without qualified treatment can be fatal.
Some patients complain that their foot hurts from the bottom near the toes. Some people mistakenly believe that their feet may hurt at the end of the working day, and this symptom is not yet a cause for concern. Women who spend most of their time in high-heeled shoes are especially susceptible to this symptom. In fact, any pain, especially if it is chronic and appears regularly, should be a reason to consult a doctor. Many diseases develop gradually, and by the time you see a doctor, changes in the structure of tissues become irreversible. It is worth listening to the signals of your own body and not ignoring pain.
The pads of the toes hurt in many diseases of the musculoskeletal system, circulatory system, as well as metabolic disorders. In some cases, the patient can independently find the cause of this phenomenon and relieve the load on the feet. Thus, many women know about the dangers of uncomfortable shoes, but continue to purchase narrow boots or high-heeled shoes only because of their appearance. In the same way, few athletes would agree to skip training because of pain that does not yet interfere with movement.
It is impossible not to notice pain at the time of injury. The foot contains a large number of small bones that form joints and are connected by muscles and ligaments.
Pain in the foot under the toes can occur with the following injuries:
Pain of traumatic origin is acute and occurs suddenly. The peculiarity of foot injuries is that even fractures may not prevent the victim from getting to his feet and continuing to walk. The bones are small, and when one of them is fractured, the load is distributed among the other structures.
To better understand the cause of pain around the toes, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the location of the bones of the foot.
Treatment is prescribed by a traumatologist. If bone fragments are displaced, they must be surgically connected and fixed with metal structures. For closed fractures without displacement, it is enough to apply a plaster cast until the fragments heal completely. Rigid bandages can also be applied to ruptures and sprains of ligaments and tendons to reduce the load on them.
Anomalies of foot placement can be congenital or acquired. They are characterized by incorrect location and deformation of the bones of the foot, weakness of the muscles, ligaments and tendons. The main types of such pathologies are:
With flat feet, the pain is located in the sole and can radiate to the joints, lower leg, back and lower back. It is especially intensified after a long walk. This disease can cause bunions around the thumb and other types of deformities.
Treatment of these diseases is in most cases conservative. It will be especially successful if the pathology is noticed in childhood, when the bone skeleton is just forming. In adults, you can only stop the disease. Both with flat feet and with the appearance of a bone on the big toe, the doctor will prescribe special gymnastics to develop the muscles of the foot. It will be useful to wear shoes with orthopedic insoles, walk on uneven surfaces and a massage mat.
The joints of the foot are small; they must provide strength to the bone structure and mobility of the toes. Their condition can be influenced by the patient's lifestyle, type of activity and level of activity, as well as age, weight and diet.
All joint diseases can be divided into 2 groups:
The affected joint hurts, increases in size and swells. With arthrosis, a crunching sound may be heard due to the fact that the cartilage becomes thin and the protective layer between the bones disappears. Rheumatoid arthritis worsens in the morning, as well as with changes in climate, weather conditions, and against the background of other diseases. Infectious arthritis is a serious pathology in which purulent exudate accumulates in the joint cavity.
Various bone deformities can be either congenital or acquired.
Treatment is prescribed individually. Symptomatic methods include the use of anesthetic ointments or creams, as well as compresses. For the regeneration of cartilage tissue, it is useful to take chondroprotectors, vitamins and minerals. For rheumatoid arthritis, a whole regimen of drugs is prescribed, which should suppress the action of the immune system directed against the tissues of the body's own.
Ligaments play a major role in the structure of the foot. They are built from dense connective tissue that does not stretch well, but can withstand significant tension. In the area of the feet, the largest is the plantar ligament, which runs along the entire sole. Damage to the ligamentous apparatus can be divided into 2 groups of diseases:
Plantar (plantar) fasciitis is an inflammation of the long plantar fascia. In most cases, pain with this disease will be located in the middle of the sole or along its entire surface. Rarely, painful sensations occur near the toes on the underside of the foot.
Treatment is conservative and includes pain-relieving ointments that have a warming or cooling effect. It is also useful to do exercises and self-massage of the feet, during which the ligaments relax and become more elastic. In addition, physiotherapy will improve blood circulation and speed up the recovery process of ligaments.
In order for the feet not to hurt, the bones must be strong and support the weight of a person when moving. Their illnesses can be associated both with injuries (post-traumatic fragility) and with changes in their chemical composition. If bones do not receive enough vitamins and minerals, they will become porous and begin to break. Such changes are called osteoporosis. The patient feels pain when pressing on top or bottom of the foot, and the legs may swell.
When the first symptoms appear, you should immediately stop wearing high-heeled shoes.
Another dangerous reason why feet may hurt is osteomyelitis. This disease is of infectious origin and occurs with damage to the bones and bone marrow. Pathogenic microorganisms can penetrate during injuries, surgery, and also enter the bones during infectious diseases of other organs.
There are also rare diseases that also cause pain around the toes. They have their own characteristic symptoms, and a final diagnosis can be made based on the results of additional studies. When diagnosing foot pain, the doctor will consider them after more common pathologies.
The syndrome of painful neuropathy is associated with the manifestation of diabetes mellitus. Elevated blood glucose levels have a destructive effect on peripheral blood vessels and nerves, resulting in pain. The feet may also lose sensation. The danger of this syndrome is that the patient will soon cease to feel pain due to atrophy of the nerve endings, and the process of tissue destruction will continue. Treatment is specific to diabetes and involves correcting blood glucose levels.
Funicular myelosis is a specific lesion of the spinal cord due to vitamin B12 deficiency . The only symptom of the disease is pain in the feet and loss of sensation. The final diagnosis can be made based on a blood test, as well as tests:
Further development of the disease is associated with disruption of the innervation of internal organs. The patient feels constant fatigue, and his hearing and vision may decrease. In advanced cases, urinary and fecal incontinence is observed. Treatments include medications containing vitamin B 12.
Erythromelalgia (Mitchell's disease) is a pathological dilation of peripheral blood vessels that often develops in the area of the feet. The surface of the skin takes on a red tint, which is accompanied by intense pain. Over time, the skin may crack. The clinical picture worsens when the limb warms up (both with an increase in air temperature and with increased blood circulation during movement). Mitchell's disease does not develop as an independent pathology, but as a symptom of other vascular disorders.
Pain near the toes is a common symptom for a large number of diseases of different origins. They can occur due to the patient’s own fault (by wearing uncomfortable shoes, obesity or poor diet) or be triggered by age, genetic predisposition or injury. To make a final diagnosis, you need to study x-rays, examine the blood and check the condition of the internal organs. Treatment should be selected individually by a doctor, based on the results of the examination and additional examinations.
It turns out that a person’s mental characteristics are closely related to his physiological parameters. By carefully examining parts of the body, you can easily obtain additional information about yourself or the people around you. This theory is reflected in one of the areas of parascientific practice called pedomancy. Fortune telling by the foot originated in ancient times. When Slavic elders could easily determine the future of a baby by their feet and not only - for example, a person’s character by their toes. What can our toes tell us?
Initially, it is necessary to study the shape of the fingers as a whole. Straight lines are for people who are straightforward, open, and stingy when it comes to spending money. The toes are slightly curved inward in the feet of people who are kind, soft, flexible, and a little intrusive.
Flexible in people who are passive, resourceful, compliant, who easily adapt to the people around them and life circumstances.
Tense (difficult to bend) in people without flexible beliefs, rigid in relationships with others. They are characterized by depression and frequent mood swings.
After the general analysis, we move on to the specific. It is necessary to study each finger separately.
The big one will tell you about how a person evaluates himself, his capabilities, personal qualities and his place in society.
The index finger will reveal the emotional side of a person. The owner of the second finger, which is almost the same length as the thumb, is a person who often doubts, is extremely emotional and sentimental. The owner of a very short index toe is a petty, frivolous and indifferent person.
The middle one will talk about strength of character. The large pad of the third finger is found in strong-willed people. Barely noticeable - in those who are weak-willed and not decisive.
The Nameless One will reveal hidden attitudes towards family values. A long fourth finger indicates a person who is extremely attached to his family and his loved ones. And his pad will reveal how much the owner’s finances favor him. Owners of large pillows are lucky - they have a chance to become rich and live without denying themselves anything.
The little toe on the foot tells about a person’s relationships with others, about his place in society. The owner of a small crooked little finger is a person with his own rules, who does not recognize the laws and norms of society. The little finger, slightly bent behind the ring finger, is for a person who is gullible, naive and unprotected.
The owners of such limbs are calm, conflict-free, hardy people who respect the rules and public opinion.
The owners of such limbs are cheerful, energetic and full of strength people. Other people's opinions are alien to them, since they value themselves more than others. Any means can be used to obtain benefits.
Owners of such limbs are inquisitive, demanding and picky people, always achieving their goals without haste or expectations.
People with such limbs often do not know what they want to get from life. With little return, they strive to take the maximum. These people are uncontrollable, temperamental, with an intolerable character.
Owners of such limbs are people with excellent potential, often creative, who go to the end, have extraordinary endurance, are able to concentrate and find a way out of any situation.
As a rule, this shape is characteristic of the first three fingers, sometimes the first two, or the first and third. Owners of widening toes are calm people who do not like to rush. Their life credo: “Slow but surely.” If a girl has a second toe of this shape, then she is an extremely emotional person. If a man has it, he is the most natural egocentric. Sometimes only the third finger of this shape is found, then this is a person who is aggressive from birth.
Fortune telling by toes is a relatively young method of fortune telling, which became widespread only in the last century. Before this, it was believed that nothing worthwhile could be predicted or determined with its help. But over time, fortune telling by the foot has proven its worth and for some it has supplanted even fortune telling by the hand.
We have already talked about fortune telling by fingers. The purpose of leg fortune telling remains the same: determining a person’s character, his habits and what awaits him in the future.
The basis of fortune telling is to determine the characteristics of the shape of the leg, its flexibility, the presence of special lines in the toes, and the shape of the toes themselves. Now a small number of patterns are known for certain, but even with their help it is possible to give a full-fledged portrait of a person’s life, internal state, his lifestyle, priorities and even, most interestingly, potentials in different areas (profession, vocation, hobby).
First, let's define the main characteristic - the shape of the foot. We will be interested in its width - thin and graceful or wide and rough?
A wide or even coarse foot is a sign of a realist who believes mainly in his own strength. It is difficult to convince him of something dubious. He prefers a smaller guaranteed benefit to risk. Such a person will achieve particular success in working hard in a position that requires constant concentration and routine work. When the others break, he will continue moving. In relationships they are faithful and constant and stable.
A thin and graceful leg is a sure sign of a creative nature. Creative class. This person prefers creative work to the same type of work. In a team, he most often holds the position of creator (idea generator). Particular success can be achieved in advertising, development of new technologies, marketing and journalism. In love, they are true romantics who are ready to search for their ideal all their lives.
A medium-thick leg is an implicit type of person. It doesn't have the same creativity as the previous one, but it can definitely do more. If the previous type is able to light a fire in people with his proposal, then these people have the ability to lead. These are potential leaders who equally combine efficiency and the ability to think outside the box. In relationships they always look for the best, so they are often fickle and unfaithful. Nevertheless, success awaits them in this area as well.
From the form we move on to fortune telling by the toes . Each toe has its own meaning, which is responsible for one of the areas of our life. All attention to the list of values.
Now that we have defined the spheres of each finger, let's move on to specific values.
Irregular shape of fingers, bends, bumps - all these are symbols of failure in one area or another (in the past and present, not in the future). If one of the fingers stands out strongly, this is a dominant factor for a person, which is the main thing in his life. Further, “sticking” fingers speak of the inseparability of two spheres of human life. Turned toes indicate that you need to change something in this direction. The thick toe of the right foot is a love of intimate conversations. Thick left finger - love to complain and blame others.
Neat, straight toes are a symbol of organization and composure. We described a similar symbol (knots) in fortune telling by fingers.
Doctors classify frostbite as an injury that, unlike traditional injuries, may not manifest itself immediately. Because of this, treatment of frostbite of the toes - the most complex and dangerous type of frostbite - begins late and becomes significantly more complicated.
The main danger of frostbite is that this problem is very difficult to notice at the initial stage. The fact is that cold is an excellent pain reliever. Therefore, many patients arriving at clinics with frostbite are convinced until the very end that they are simply frozen.
Most often, the cause of this peculiar injury, in addition to the low temperature outside, is insufficiently warm and too narrow shoes. Other reasons why you may need treatment for frostbite in your toes include:
There are several main degrees of frostbite:
The first thing to do when you have frostbite is to warm the affected parts of the body. Moreover, this needs to be done as soon as possible, but not abruptly. The most effective way is to use warm water. The initial temperature should not exceed 30-35 degrees. It needs to be increased gradually. If the skin gradually turns pink, it means that blood circulation is restored.
Many, trying to help a person and warm the affected area, immediately place him in very hot water, which is strictly not recommended for frostbitten feet. With such a sharp restoration of blood flow, tissues can die.
If warm water is not at hand, you can do a light massage to restore blood circulation. Gently massage your leg, starting from your toes. After this, wipe the skin with alcohol (only if there are no bubbles on it) and cover with a gauze compress with cotton wool.
Treatment varies depending on the severity of frostbite. The sooner a problem is detected, the sooner and easier it can be eliminated:
Ointments for frostbitten toes can also be used. The best products are based on animal fats, bee milk, and natural plant extracts.
