What are the reasons for postpartum body pain?

Patient's question:

Now staying at home to take care of the child without off-duty, feeling often sore all over my body, especially my hands and legs. Don't know what the reason is for the pain, pressing it makes it even more painful. There's no redness or swelling, except for the area where the bra is worn on the chest.

Doctor's answer:

From your description, it seems you are considering muscle pain and soreness caused by overexertion. I suggest taking chlorzoxazone orally for anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. You need rest, avoid heavy lifting and overexertion. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital's rheumatology department to check for rheumatoid factor and erythrocyte sedimentation rate for a definitive diagnosis. Based on the test results, targeted treatment can be provided, which will help with healing. Patients should avoid overexertion and engage in appropriate activities. If symptoms are not stable, undergo a comprehensive examination at the hospital.
