For the past two weeks, i kept experiencing a sharp pain on my left wrist whenever i moved the thumb. Thinking it was a minor sprain, i didn't think too much of it except to put a temporary stop to my daily push-ups and dumb-bell liftings.
To alleviate the pain, this pack of menthol plaster came in handy on a nightly basis.
There's a problem though; not only did the pain get worse, i started losing strength in that particular hand and there are moments when i have no holding control over the item i am carrying.
Visiting a reputable Chinese sinseh is the next step for such ailment!
He managed to identify the problematic area, assure me that it is minor at this stage, and after massaging the wrist with some medicated oil, dress up the area and advise me to come back if the pain persists after four days.
At this moment, the pain has not subsided and typical of Chinese ancient tuina (推拿), redness of the affected area is common and it's unwise to give an outright conclusion within a day or two.
Let's give the herbal medication a few more days although the lack of exercise has been contributing to a steady increase of weight gain over the festive holidays!
There goes my target to attain an optimal weight for the upcoming Chinese New Year....
