How to deal with leg pain after cesarean section?

Patient's question:

Current condition has slightly improved. Past treatment history and effectiveness: Never been treated. Desired help: Is it an anesthetic complication? Is it considered a medical accident?

Doctor's answer:

Postpartum illness refers to diseases caused by external pathogens or internal injuries that a woman experiences within one month after childbirth (including miscarriage), which remain untreated during the postpartum period. After giving birth, a woman's body is weak, and her muscles and joints are open, making her vulnerable to external pathogens. If she is exposed to wind and cold, experiences intense anger or sadness, or engages in excessive sexual activity during this time, it can lead to postpartum illness.
The clinical manifestations of postpartum illness include: fear of cold, fear of wind, excessive sweating, and joint pain. The pain worsens in cold, windy, or rainy weather. Postpartum illness caused by emotional depression may also be accompanied by symptoms such as numbness, convulsions, and distending pain. Postpartum illness resulting from sexual activity during the postpartum period may cause symptoms like weakness in the limbs, lower back pain, and excessive sleepiness. Postpartum illness caused by anger may also be accompanied by pain in small and large joints, as well as headaches.
It is recommended to seek treatment from a local traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, as this tends to be more effective.
