Patient's question:
After giving birth, I found that the vertebrae between the shoulder blades and above the lumbar spine are particularly painful. They hurt when I'm tired and also feel numb. Is there any good way to treat this?Doctor's answer:
Postpartum lower back pain may be due to muscle strain in the lower back or post Cesarean section complications. After childbirth, the human body is in a relatively weakened state. On one hand, postpartum mothers expend a significant amount of energy, and on the other hand, many continue to breastfeed, leading to severe calcium loss. Calcium deficiency can easily cause lower back pain. If calcium deficiency was not addressed during pregnancy, postpartum mothers will deplete their calcium reserves. Additionally, you can consult a traditional Chinese medicine specialist. Based on your symptoms, physical signs, tongue coating, and pulse, they can prescribe herbs to replenish qi and blood, promote blood circulation, and alleviate pain for regulation.
