What to do if your knee joint hurts after childbirth

Many mothers experience physical discomfort. For example, knee pain is very common. Don’t be too careless when encountering such a problem. This is probably caused by not taking good care of your body during the confinement period. Of course, it is also related to improper knee care during pregnancy. However, you must find a way to adjust it. So what should I do if my knee joints hurt after childbirth?

1. Knee bend exercise

When the disease is not occurring, patients can often do knee bending exercises at home, which can not only reduce the frequency of knee pain, but also relieve pain. The exercise method is actually very simple. You just need to wear loose clothes and take off your shoes at home, lie on your back on the floor and place your hands naturally on both sides of your body. Then bend one leg at the knee, preferably so that the angle between the thigh and calf is less than a right angle, and stretch the other leg upward, about 10 cm off the ground.

2. Chair exercise

For some patients with symptoms such as low back pain, knee bending exercises are very unsuitable, so at this time patients can perform effective exercises on a chair. The patient can sit shallowly on a chair with a slightly higher surface, then bend the knee of one leg, preferably with the thigh and calf at 90 degrees. Then straighten the other leg. At this time, pay attention to keeping the ankle naturally bent, with the heel on the ground and toes off the ground.

3. Foot bath

Patients who often suffer from symptoms such as knee pain should pay special attention in their daily lives. It is best to develop the habit of soaking your feet regularly, which can effectively relieve the symptoms of pain. It is best to use hot, light salt water for foot soaking, soaking for 20 minutes each time. This will help eliminate electrical potential problems of tissue cells. If the knee pain is more severe, you can also use 15g of Sophora japonica, 12g of Safflower, 30g of Artemisia argyi, 12g of Gastrodia elata, 30g of Smilax glabra, 12g of Achyranthes bidentata, 15g of Euphorbia grandiflora, 15g of Gelsemium elegans, and 10g of Licorice to boil in water and then soak your feet.
