Today went to see chinese doctor in the morning. They call her a 'sinseh'. lol. For my hip. She was this young doctor named Diana. Well anyway I told her where it hurt and why it hurt, and she made me lie down on the bed. I was just quietly lying there when, out of the corner of my eye, i spotted a sign. It mainly comprised of one big chinese character - REN. ( you know, BEAR WITH IT.) There was a knife drawn across the word dripping with blood. ( okay, so it was just one drop.)
Oh oh. Now i wasnt soo good at doing that. I quickly signalled to my mom that I was going TO DIE! My mom took one look at the sign, smiled and mouthed the word " good". HORRORS.
anyway was pretty amazing how sinsehs work. She used a marker to mark a line on both my ankles. She explained that those lines marked the tip of the ankle. And when she held my ankles straight up, touching each other, the lines didnt meet! Therefore she concluded that my hip was lopsided, making one leg longer than the other. Cool!
She then proceeded to do alot of stuff like bending my leg REAL HIGH and suddenly pulling it down with alot of strength again. YIKES. thank god i was gripping onto the edge of the bed for dear life. At one point ( or two) I was literally screaming in pain. Then the doc told me something encouraging - " Why don't you choose a Chuppa Chip? " ( i bet she said that in desperation to shut me up.) And i was like, ehh? A lollipop? yay!
I chose a cola one. ( i was lying on the bed stomach down) I tried to open it, but everytime i seemed to be succeding she would bend my leg horribly and i would have to stop to scream in pain. Oh well. She kept asking me to cough whenever she bended my leg. I bet that was to get rid of the bad "qi". This particular piece of knowledge was derived from watching alot of Korean Physician serials, like Da Chang Jin. ( im so smart. :D) Everytime she pulled i could hear lots of "CRRR" and " CRACK". Eee.
Well then she left me to rub my back in pain while she went outside to write a prescription or something. She says i cant train for about two to three weeks. ( HORRORS!) she also gave me an MC. She gave me lots of rules, like cnt sit in one position for too long and cannot cross left leg over right. Plus a bag of pills. ( Green and yellow capsules she claims is chinese herbs.)
Overall quite shuang lah. Like a good massage. But still cant train. ):
