Calcium has been supplemented, and the knuckles are still swollen and painful, and the arms are also accompanied by fatigue. What happened?

The pain and swelling of finger joints during pregnancy are caused by hormones secreted during pregnancy, especially relaxin, which softens and relaxes fascia, tendons, ligaments and connective tissues, and involves nerves.

Patients often have joint pain in limbs, and in severe cases, they are numb and swollen. The pathogenesis of this disease is mainly due to qi and blood weakness, meridian malnutrition, or cold and dampness invading the body, which makes qi and blood stagnate. In the middle and late pregnancy, especially after 7 months of pregnancy, due to the increase of internal circulation and poor venous blood return, hand numbness and finger swelling will be caused.

When pregnant women give birth, the hormones in the body change, which will lead to the decrease of the tension of the joint capsule and its adjacent ligaments and cause joint relaxation. At this time, if you do too much housework, or hold your baby too much and touch cold water, you will overload your joints, tendons and ligaments, causing finger pain, which will last for a long time.
