Postpartum wrist pain, this can remedy

There is a saying that you must be careful if you have wrist pain during confinement, so many women will be very anxious when they have wrist pain during confinement. Wrist pain during confinement may be caused by catching a cold or wind, or by frequently holding the baby in the same position to breastfeed. As long as everyone can take reasonable precautions, remedy the situation in time, find out the cause and then treat it, the disease can be prevented from becoming harmful.

Methods/Steps

1. If your wrist hurts when you hold your baby to feed him/her, it may be because your wrist is pressed by the baby's head for a long time, resulting in poor blood circulation. Therefore, when feeding your baby, do not support the baby's head and neck with your wrists. It is best to find a pillow to cushion the baby's head and neck. Also, remember to frequently switch between holding the baby with your left and right hands.

2. When your wrist hurts, you can ask your family to gently massage your wrist to promote blood circulation in the wrist and relieve pain symptoms. The confinement period is special and you cannot apply plasters to avoid affecting the baby.

3. You can also use a hot towel to warm your wrists, which can help relieve the pain caused by cold wrists. Sometimes when a mother holds her baby in her arms while sleeping at night, her hands are exposed outside the quilt and the baby may catch a cold easily. Therefore, hot compress has a good effect and will be effective if you persist for three to five days.

4. If your wrist hurts a lot, you may have caught a severe cold. You can use a small solar electric heater and place your wrist in a suitable place close to the sun (not too hot) to warm it up. This will help relieve the pain.

5. If the baby is born by caesarean section, the mother's bones will crack and she may be easily exposed to cold wind, which may cause wrist pain. In this case, she should be made to sweat profusely for conditioning. If the temperature and conditions at home are not high enough, you can go to a special postpartum recovery center to sweat. Sweating profusely can fully expand the mother's pores, expel the cold from the body, and solve problems such as wrist pain.
