2. Limb numbness and difficulty in flexion and extension

During the confinement period, the doors of the muscles, bones and pores are wide open, the qi and blood are weak, and the inside and outside are empty, which can easily cause numbness of the limbs, difficulty in flexion and extension, headache, dizziness, swelling, stiffness, loss of appetite, and less urination. In severe cases, the pain symptoms will be aggravated by cold and wind.
