Postpartum generalized body pain arises because the joints and bones open up during childbirth, causing blood vessels to disperse. Qi deficiency fails to fill the channels, leading to stagnation of blood within the meridians that does not dissipate. This causes spasms and traction of the sinews and vessels, resulting in stiffness of the bone joints. Consequently, there may be an inability to turn or bend the waist and back, inability to extend or flex the hands and feet, or symptoms such as feverish sensation, headache, etc. The principal prescription is Qitong San (Pain-Relieving Powder). If mistakenly treated as Taiyang disease (Cold Damage) with diaphoretic methods causing sweating, it will agitate the sinews and vessels, leading to cold extremities and transformation into Jing Zheng (Spasm Syndrome, characterized by muscle spasms and opisthotonos). In this case, Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten Complete Tonifying Decoction) should be used. If there is pain in the finger joints, Buzhong Yishen Tang (Tonify Middle and Benefit Kidney Decoction) is indicated. For swelling or pain in the feet and knees, Duhuo Jisheng Tang (Angelica Pubescens and Dorstenia Decoction) is indicated.
*Yi Tong* states: Postpartum Bai Xue (stagnant lochia/blood), flowing into the waist and hips or into the thighs, causes severe pain that cannot be touched. The painful area becomes hot and swollen. As the pathogen flows deeper, it gradually leads to edema of the whole body and face. Tiao Jing San (Regulate Menses Powder) or Hupo Dihuang Wan (Amber and Rehmannia Pill) are most appropriate. If invaded by Xu Feng (deficiency wind), causing heavy limbs with limited mobility, spasms of sinews and vessels, fever, and headache, Sishen San (Four Spirit Powder) added with Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger), and Dazao (Jujube) harmonizes Ying and Wei (Nutritive and Defensive levels) and stops pain most rapidly. Do not mistakenly treat it as Taiyang disease. If pressing with hand exacerbates the pain, it indicates blood stasis stagnation; if pressing alleviates the pain slightly, it indicates blood deficiency. Use this to distinguish between excess and deficiency, thereby avoiding errors. Feng Shi stated: Postpartum pain in hands, feet, and body is due to blood deficiency failing to nourish. Wandering pain in hands and feet indicates that Qi and Blood fail to nourish the four extremities. Turbid fluids flowing into the four limbs cause swelling, while Yin Fire wandering around causes pain. This falls under the treatment scope of Yangrong Jia Heijiang Tang (Nourish Prosperity Decoction plus Blackened Ginger).
Qitong San (Pain-Relieving Powder): Treats postpartum generalized body pain caused by Qi and Blood deficiency with stagnation. Do not mistakenly treat as Taiyang disease.
