There are no painful areas. She went to the hospital for a check-up, but no specific condition was found. A brain CT scan showed no abnormalities. The doctor suspected tetanus, but the most obvious symptoms of tetanus are photophobia and hydrophobia, which my mother doesn't have. If it's postpartum wind, she doesn't have lower back or leg pain.
