Tennis Injury

Such rotten luck. Yesterday, i sprained my ankle during my tennis session with my mates. I stepped onto a tennis ball near the net when i did a volley & i swear i did not hear my bones crack. It was lucky cos if there are cracking sounds, i'll be in big trouble.

Anyway, it was not painful initially & Marcus asked me if i am OK, i said "Yeah! No problem, let's continue". But really, i should have end the game instead. I continue to play competitively for another half an hour before going home. After my bath, i can feel the pain getting stronger. Shit!

Today when i woke up, i could not walk properly. Even simple task like going to the toilet has become so difficult for me. In fact, i need to go to the lab today, but i think i can't make it. So i stayed at home till CK is back & i asked him to fetch me to see a Chinese acupuncturist who lives in Woodlands. I gave him a call before going to see him.

When i reached his place, he just asked me how i injured my ankle & where is the pain. After that, he applied some antiseptic stuff on my ankle & started to use a needle to poke at 4 points around there. While poking at each point, he will ask me if i feel any soreness. If i do feel it, i means good news. So after around 5 minutes, he asked me to walk around. WOW!!!!! It was shocking, the pain is gone by 80% & i can even jog a bit. The shifu told me not to bath for 24 hours after the session & ask me to take a rest & not over-exert my ankle for a few days. After about 2 to 3 days, all the pain should be gone.

I paid a very 'modest' fee for his service & is really amazed by his skills. CK told me that if i had chosen to see a western doctor, the doc would have given me painkillers that only remove the symptoms, but not the source of the pain. By poking my ankle, he must have sort of 'stimulated the meridian system, thereby bringing about relief by rebalancing of yin, yang & qi' as quoted by CK. Still, i dun understand the theory behind it, but it really works wonders.
