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 should be considered whether it is due to muscle strain in the lower back or postpartum complications after a cesarean section. After delivery, the human body is in a relatively weakened state. On one hand, postpartum mothers consume a large amount of energy, and on the other hand, many mothers persist in breastfeeding, leading to severe calcium loss. Calcium deficiency can easily cause lower back pain. If calcium deficiency during pregnancy is not supplemented in time, postpartum mothers will consume a significant amount of calcium after delivery. Additionally, you can visit the traditional Chinese medicine department. Based on your symptoms, physical signs, tongue coating, and pulse, they can prescribe herbal medicine to replenish qi and blood, promote blood circulation, and relieve pain for regulation.
