Is Pain In Legs, Arms And Wrists With Bulging Vein In Wrist Normal After Childbirth?

I have just given birth 2 weeks ago. For the past 1 week, I experienced aches on both legs, arms and wrists. The aches I felt with my legs has been getting increasingly uncomfortable and am now experiencing trouble walking up, down the stairs and standing still. It s like my legs are getting weak. I also notice a bulging vein at the back of my hand where my wrist is. Should I be worried?

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The body pain after giving birth is completely normal.
These pains may be due to the position you were in during delivery and recovery. 
Your joints may also still be affected by the chemical changes during pregnancy.
You can use Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
The pain will relieve gradually.


Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
