A trip to the senseh
I went to see a Chinese Senseh (those Chinese doctors that will rub and knead you as though as u are some dough. Just grab you and start pressing and rubbing you. You just can’t win them.) As the pain I had was too unbearable. Can u believe it, the pain that a car accident caused on me was much lesser than my fall.. Gee…
I just couldn’t stand the pain on my right shoulder anymore. My arm just suddenly swelled up. So I was made to go to see a doc. And due to my character, I am those who wants things now and fixed up now.. Cannot wait.. Those fast freaks. So I decided to see a Chinese physician. My threshold of pain maybe very low but my drive to get things fixed fast is much stronger. I want to heal fast!! So never mind the pain.. I will live through it!!
My friend’s mum works in such clinics and so she got me a number so as to spare me the long wait time (it seems this clinic is pretty famous). Before I get to see the senseh, I had to undergo this heat therapy first. A hot pad would be placed on the area of pain so as to make the area loosen and easier for the senseh to rub. It improves the blood circulation around the area as well. The pain that I felt was at my right triceps and the upper shoulder. But the hot patch was placed on my inner shoulder (the joint between my arm and my torso). Immediately, I had question marks appearing. I thought it was a mistake so I told my friend’s mum that its placed wrongly. Then she told me its correct as the pain I feel is connected to the main nerve which is that area. Still in disbelief, I just let it be.. Although I did shift abit of the hot patch nearer to the arm area.. haha…
Then its my turn to see the senseh. He asked where I was hurting and I told him my arm. He then asked does my inner shoulder (that area where the hot patch was at) hurt. I went like, ‘nope’. But I do have an injury there but its not hurting me and that was not the reason why I was there anyway. I had fallen down and so there I was to seek his miracle touch. My friend’s mum started telling him about my other injuries as well. Told him about my other falls, my ankles, my head..blah blah blah.. Eh… my friend must really be close with her mum.. I can see the close bond between them.. Her mum seems to know so many of my loser cases.. (hmm.. I wonder if she’s part of my blog reader too.. Haha..).
The senseh asked if I wanted to treat my ankle. I went like, ‘no, I came for my arm. I wanna shoot. The ankle is secondary.’
Before I could say more, the senseh just took my arm and started putting oil on my right shoulder.. Puzzled, I told him, the area where the oil was applied is not the area of pain.. But.. He just rubbed!!! WAAAAAAAAAA………. PAIN!!!!!!!! OK.. It seems like that area was hurt. Man.. I was immobilised. I just couldn’t fight back. He was like rub rub rub.. He is damn strong lah for a white haired man (must be a fake old man.). It’s like he had caught hold of my weak point and had me held down. When I am in pain, most of the time, I am pretty silent as I have no strength left to scream.. But I tend to be able to mutter a string of vulgarities under my breath. Hahaha..
After the treatment, he said that the area was injured and weak hence the pain elsewhere. The pain has spread to the other areas. I have to strengthen that area. The main nerve is hurt and so that is the root of the pain. He is a man of few words. Cos the whole time, I only heard myself talking.. I was like, ‘so can I still shoot? Still go training? How long does it take to heal? 2 days? Does it include today? So rest 1 more day can go shoot liao?’ blah blah blah.. He only said one line, ‘come back on thurs.’. Eh….. *blink blink*
My arm was bandaged up in those Chinese herbs by my friend’s mum. Since I couldn’t get an answer from the senseh, I pestered her for answers. The questions were plucked from the air and thrown fast and furious at her. She just smiled and told me what I can’t eat (no peanuts, no cold drinks) and have to do (apply the herbal patches for relief). She said to come back on thurs as well.. Man.. No answers.. But I had one in me.. I AM NOT GOING BACK ON THURS AND I AM RESTING FOR 2 DAYS, INCLUDING TODAY!! But still feeling unsure, I asked the lady who was in charge of giving me my medicine and payment.. Same answer.. Gee.. No one wants to let me know if I can go back training!!
So when my friends asked me what the senseh said, I replied, ‘I don’t know cox most of the time, I just heard myself talking.. so I guess I shall just diagnosis myself.’ Hahaha……
Of course the one who knew the truth was my friend, her mum told her about my condition. Her mum was even asking if I was a flat feet as it seems that I kept falling down. Flat-feets tend to fall down quite often as they have more difficulty balancing.. I went like.. DUH!! I am born perfect.. But think I was born with a black cloud above me.. or like what my coach say, I lack a DNA—Luck.!!
