Postpartum Joint Pain

Question: Two and a half years after giving birth, I now experience joint pain in my fingers, along with general sensitivity to cold and chilliness. Touching water makes the pain worse. I’ve undergone comprehensive examinations, but no abnormalities were found. Could this be postpartum wind? How should it be treated?

Answer: This is a type of reactive arthritis, known in TCM as postpartum wind. Don’t underestimate this condition—it can progress to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis. Seek prompt treatment from a specialist.
