What causes postpartum leg pain?

Some women will experience colic after giving birth. Many may experience this because they did not take good care of themselves during the confinement period, but it is not just that. Therefore, women must have an understanding of this knowledge before giving birth so that they can respond in time when encountering problems and then regulate their bodies. This way, your body will slowly get better and there will be no root of disease left.

If the mother does not pay attention to rest and does more housework, the already weak joints, tendons and ligaments will be overburdened and cause pain. If a mother uses cold water or is exposed to coldness while doing housework, she will experience hand pain.

Foot pain in postpartum women often occurs in the heel, which is caused by the degeneration of the heel fat pad.

Symptoms such as pain in the soles of the feet, stiff and weak knees, and difficulty in standing up when holding a baby after childbirth are caused by not paying attention to rest during the "confinement period", doing too much housework, and being exposed to cold water.

TCM cannot generalize the treatment of this disease, but should be different for each person. If the mother herself is in poor physical condition, she may feel windy without getting cold, or feel that her head cannot withstand the wind, or have heel pain, etc. In this case, the treatment should be mainly to replenish the deficiency. TCM says that blood deficiency generates wind, and kidney deficiency causes waist and leg pain, which is a deficiency symptom.

If you catch a cold accidentally, it is a case of both deficiency and excess. While dispelling the cold, you should pay attention to the physical condition of the mother and replenish qi and blood appropriately. Do not sweat, but pay attention to strengthening the exterior. This way you can treat both the symptoms and the root cause.

It may also be a manifestation of kidney yang deficiency caused by leakage of yang qi, that is, kidney yang deficiency, which is a symptom of kidney yang exhaustion. You can consider taking the Chinese patent medicine Jinkui Shenqi Pills for treatment, and you can also use diet therapy for internal adjustments, with appropriate amounts of mutton, Chinese yam, Cistanche deserticola, Cuscuta australis, peach kernel, scallion, and salt. Boil the medicine in water to extract the juice, slice the mutton, cook it into soup with the juice, add scallion and salt to taste, and then eat.

I hope that every woman who is in confinement can protect her body well. After all, if a woman’s body is not well adjusted after giving birth, it is very likely to leave a root of disease, which is very bad for your body. Moreover, your poor health may also cause certain effects on the baby. I believe you don’t want to see such a thing.
