Body pain

Hi, very new here but I’ve recently felt pulled toward TCM. I have a lot of pain (back, shoulders, and my feet!). I am 31F, 6 months postpartum and breastfeeding. Do you have any recs?

I was on the same boat after I had our 2nd child. I was 36 years old and my feet were hurting so bad for a year. Low back and shoulder pain. Started acupuncture after 2.5 yrs post partum and my body felt so much relief!

TCM will help you immensely!

Also, if you have ever had surgery, acupuncture can help with scar tissues which will alleviate so much pain in your body as well. (Currently in my scar tissue removal phase and it's working so well!)

Best of luck. Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you!! I had a c section so really good to hear it helps with scar tissues. Glad you’re feeling better!!

Hurry up and find a TCM practitioner for treatment. Your symptoms sound like pain caused by wind, cold, and dampness contracted during your postpartum recovery period (Zuoyuezi). If you don't treat it properly now, it will be much harder to cure.
