Patient's question:
I've had a child for a month now, and recently I've been experiencing lower back pain, general discomfort, and severe neck pain during rainy weather. I don't know what's wrong, and my shoulders are also very uncomfortable, with a sharp pain. I don't know how to fully recover from this. I'm asking, what should I do about postpartum rheumatism, neck tightness, heavy shoulders, and sharp pain in the legs?Doctor's answer:
After having a child, the recurrence of rheumatic visceral arthralgia pain is primarily considered to be related to issues with the rheumatic immune system, or poor local blood circulation and function. The postpartum period was not managed properly, and there was little physical activity. Additionally, excessive consumption of fatty foods has contributed to this condition. Acupuncture can temporarily promote blood circulation and unblock the flow, especially through acupuncture therapy, which tends to be more effective through Traditional Chinese Medicine methods. In necessary cases, it can be combined with blood-activating medications.
