How to identify body aches

Postpartum body aches: Postpartum women experience joint pain or body aches, but there is no redness or swelling on the skin surface of the painful area. This is called postpartum body pain or postpartum joint pain. The main reason is that the body's blood vessels are empty and the circulation of qi and blood is not smooth during the postpartum period, so the disease is prone to occur if the mother is slightly tired or attacked by wind and cold.

Soreness and weakness in the limbs: Soreness and weakness in the hands, feet, legs and knees is actually called arthritis in the category of TCM diseases. It is an important signal of wind, cold, dampness, and evil toxic qi invading the body. Before the evil toxic qi invades the internal organs, the first feeling is soreness and numbness in the hands and feet, soreness, heaviness, pain, and tingling in the limbs. This is the signal sent by blocked meridians, and it is also the last line of defense of the human body. If not treated in time, the meridians will be damaged, thereby destroying the human body's nerve conduction function system, causing nerve necrosis, and eventually causing stroke, hemiplegia, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, diabetic gangrene, and lifelong regret.

Body aches after exercise: Body aches refer to the soreness of local muscles after strenuous exercise in people who do not exercise regularly. When people engage in strenuous exercise, the decomposition of glycogen accelerates and oxygen consumption increases, causing the muscles to temporarily be in a state of relative hypoxia. At this time, glycogen can be converted into lactic acid via pyruvate and stored in the muscles. When lactic acid accumulates in the muscles, it will stimulate the chemical receptors in the muscles to become excited. The excitement is then transmitted to the cerebral cortex, causing a feeling of soreness. At the same time, due to the accumulation of substances such as lactic acid, the osmotic pressure in the muscles increases, causing the muscle tissue to absorb more water and produce local swelling, and also a feeling of soreness and swelling. Body aches, laziness, dizziness, and heavy legs. Persistent fatigue that does not go away for a long time.
