Postpartum bone pain

We all know that pregnancy is not only a blessing for our family but also for our children. This is a very, very important thing for us women, and women must pay great attention to the conditioning of their bodies after giving birth, because some bad habits during pregnancy or postpartum period will accompany us for the rest of our lives. Therefore, taking good care of the body should be the main task of some pregnant women after childbirth. So let’s take a look at the situation of postpartum bone pain!

1. Reasons

The main reason is that the body's blood vessels are empty and the circulation of qi and blood is not smooth during the postpartum period, so the disease is prone to occur if the mother is slightly tired or attacked by wind and cold. Muscle strain caused by the strain of childbirth.

2. Differential Diagnosis

Sub-health conditions are often manifested as body aches, laziness, dizziness, and heavy legs. It feels like I haven't done anything, but I still feel so tired. This fatigue is persistent and cannot be relieved for a long time.

Soreness and weakness in the hands, feet, legs, knees and limbs is actually called arthritis in the category of Chinese medicine diseases. It is an important signal of wind, cold, dampness and evil toxins invading the body. Before the evil toxins invade the internal organs, the first feeling is soreness and numbness in the hands and feet, soreness, heaviness, pain and tingling in the limbs. This is the signal of blocked meridians, and it is also the last line of defense of the human body. If not treated in time, the meridians will be damaged, thereby destroying the human body's nerve conduction function system, causing nerve necrosis, and eventually causing stroke, hemiplegia, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, diabetic gangrene, and lifelong regret.

Muscle soreness caused by exercise is a very common injury experience for people who participate in sports. Generally speaking, muscle soreness caused by exercise can be divided into two types: acute muscle soreness and chronic (delayed muscle soreness). Acute muscle soreness is different from muscle strain. It refers to the soreness caused by temporary ischemia of the muscles. It only occurs when the muscles are subjected to intense or prolonged activities, and disappears once the muscle activity ends. Often, acute muscle soreness is accompanied by muscle stiffness.

3. Mitigation methods

If a mother experiences body aches or joint pains, she needs to rest in bed and get enough sleep. The time spent getting out of bed and moving around every day should not be too long, and the intensity should not be too high, so as not to aggravate the symptoms of body aches. The room should be kept dry and ventilated, but the mother should avoid being blown directly by the wind to prevent the invasion of cold wind and worsening of the condition. In addition, mothers should pay attention to keeping warm, avoid sleeping on bamboo mats or cool mats in summer, and the temperature should not be too low when using air conditioning. The bedding and bedding should be kept dry and clean.

Since postpartum mothers' body aches or joint pains are mostly caused by poor blood circulation or exogenous wind-cold, mothers with poor blood circulation should eat more nutritious foods, such as pork liver, mutton, chicken, longan, red dates, red beans, etc.; while mothers with exogenous wind-cold should eat more spicy and warm foods that can dispel the cold, such as ginger, scallion, brown sugar, and some easily digestible fish and meat, and should avoid eating raw and cold foods. If a mother experiences severe joint pain or body aches after delivery, she should seek medical attention as soon as possible and receive relevant treatment under the doctor's guidance.
