Frozen shoulder?
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, in fact everyday for the past week. I think I've a serious problem with my sleeping posture. I'm sleeping too much on my right side, so much so that it prevents blood circulation to my arm.
I had this acute pain at my upper arm more than 2 weeks ago. Went to the chinese physician and it gradually healed. Subsequently after my visit to the gym, I realised that the pain came back, this time more severe. I thought I'd just apply the medication and let it heal on it's own. After a whole week, it didn't help.
Finally went back to the chinese physician. This time it was a different lady. She diagnosed that I had alot of 'cold air' (TCM term) in my body, hence there was blood clots around my neck cos the blood could not flow properly to my arm. She used this glass bottle thingy (i couldn't see cos she wouldn't allow me to turn my head) and rubbed my neck and shoulder REAL HARD. I was that close to tears I tell you.
At the start of the session, she showed my mom the blood clots. My mom really saw those purple blood clots that looked like blue black marks at the back of my neck. After the long painful session, all that was left was really horrible bruise-like marks. When I went back to office, my colleagues said I look like I've been beaten up real badly. lol
Painful lar. Can't stand it. Looks like I won't be able to visit the gym for quite some time. It's payday and it's thursday, that means saturday is coming real soon! =D
