Postpartum Depression, An Emotional Rollercoaster | Incheon Postpartum Care
Why am I the only one who's so weak?... <br><br> It feels like everyone else is overcoming things well and doing okay, but I'm constantly falling apart. <br><br> Of course, I know intellectually that depression isn't a disease that can be cured quickly like a common cold. <br><br> And that I can get better if I consistently go to the doctor, take my medication, and receive regular counseling. <br><br> But even so, it's not easy. Especially these days, it's even harder because I'm experiencing a lot of physical symptoms in addition to psychological factors. <br><br> Chest tightness, indigestion, insomnia, chronic fatigue… <br><br> Honestly, every single day is a continuous string of suffering. <br><br> When will I be able to escape from this darkness? <br><br> I want to live a normal life, just like everyone else. <br><br> I want to live feeling natural emotions – laughing, crying, getting angry… <br><br> It still feels like a distant dream, but I truly hope I can achieve that someday. <br><br> Patting myself on the back today: 'You've done well. Thank you for holding on.' <br><br> Tomorrow will be a little better than today.

My Feet Are Hot! What Causes Burning Soles?
<p>Hello, I am Choi Yeon-seung, a doctor of Korean medicine at Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic.<br /> Today, I'd like to post about what I've learned from observing patients who suffered from <b>lower back pain</b>.<br /> <br /> Lower back pain that throbs even when you stay still, a tearing pain that occurs when you change your posture or move, making it impossible to sleep properly and hindering daily life.<br /> Those who haven't experienced it can never truly understand it.</p> <p>Shall we explore the types of lower back pain and how to treat them?</p> <p><b><span style="font-size: 20px;">1. Types of Lower Back Pain</span></b><br /> <br /> Lower back pain can be broadly divided into two categories.</p> <p><b>1) Muscle Pain</b><br /> <br /> Lower back muscle pain often manifests as pain during specific movements when you move your back.<br /> It occurs when muscles tense up, and a characteristic feature is that it improves quickly once the tense muscles are relaxed.</p> <p><b>2) Disc Pain</b><br /> <br /> Unlike lower back muscle pain, lower back disc pain often causes not just pain in specific movements, but also numbness and pain extending to the buttocks and legs.<br /> This pain occurs when a disc compresses a nerve. In such cases, the treatment period is longer than for muscle pain, and if not treated properly, there is a high likelihood of it becoming chronic.</p>
