Dear all,
It has actually been about 1 month since I blogged (is that even a word?).
Regretfully to say that I'm in pain at the moment. Here's the story.. I fell down the stairs of the ferry coming back from Tioman. It was so slippery. The stairs were not too high but as I stepped on the second stair, I slipped and fell at the bottom of the stairs. I screamed.. but nobody helped me. Who ever said that Malaysian is very friendly and full of hospitality, that person is a load of crap! Malaysians are not nice. Well, Malaysians generally are ONLY nice to foreigners. There was a guy sitting at my left side when I fell, but he just looked at me. Like falling down is a normal thing.. No help at all, no that "Are you ok" thing. Anyway, I couldn't move for 2 minutes I think. I hit my back at the edge of the stairs. The journey coming back from Mersing to KL was unbearable. I was sitting at the back of the naza ria and the ride was kinda bumpy. Imagine how my butt felt like. I could even walk because I hit my right leg as well.
The next day my mum brought me to do some x-rays. Met this so-called chiropractor. I don't want to state the name of the hospital.. all I can say is that it is a specialist hospital. Anyway, this doctor asked me to do some x-rays on my right leg and my butt. I did it, paid for it and went back to his office. All he can say after looking at the x-ray was "Oh, there is no fractures, but maybe some cracks somewhere. But there is nothing to worry about and you can go home now." He didn't do anything. He just wrote me the prescriptions and I paid and went home. I was on mc for 2 weeks.
When I came to work, the pain has gone abit. Then this one day I had a little bit of a jog. Actually it wasn't really a jog. I ran a bit from my room at the office to the front door. There was a fogging going on outside and I had to quickly closed the door to prevent the smoke to come in the office. Just that little jog made my back ache.
The next day I went to this chiropractic centre. I went there twice. One to bring my friend to treat her sprain ankle. The second time I had a shoulder pain. That shoulder pain was gone after the second day of treatment. And you know what?? I should gone to the centre in the first place.
Since the previous doctor has transferred to another centre, I was treated by this Dr. Han. He's a licensed chiropractor. A real one! I mean he uses his elbow to treat my back. There are improvements.
The 1st treatment
- Dr. Han had checked my back and did his elbow magic.
- He explained that my pelvis and spine near the pelvis is misaligned. My ligaments are all sprained.
- For this first treatment, he repaired the sprained ligaments.
- After that I had the ultrasound, electric and ice treatment.
The 2nd treatment
- I had the 3 treatment first before seeing the doctor.
- The doctor did his magic again.
The 3rd treatment
- Today was the third treatment.
- Like the second one, I had the 3 treatments first.
- The doctor concentrated on the painful parts at my back, because I complained about having a hard time sitting down. Walking not that much pain, but sitting is hard.
- This time however, he used acupunture. This was the first time I had such treatment, I mean in my life. And you know, I didn't even feel the needle got into my back. Amazing!
I can feel the improvements. God bless Dr. Han.
