What should I do about the separation of my metatarsals after childbirth?

Patient's question:

I have a metatarsal separation postpartum, now I walk up and down, and I can't turn over when sleeping.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you described, it seems you are experiencing pubic symphysis diastasis due to calcium deficiency.
Advice: Hello, in general, mild calcium deficiency, such as leg cramps, can progress to pubic symphysis diastasis in severe cases. If you have recently given birth, it is best to minimize movement and ideally stay in bed completely. You should also immobilize the pelvis, using a multi-strap chest belt or a lumbar disc herniation treatment belt for support. Additionally, focus on calcium supplementation and avoid walking too soon. I hope my advice is helpful to you!
