马光…

Today after my meeting, I left the office building and saw a branch of 马光 right across the road. They are one of the more established TCM (traditional chinese medicine) centres around. As I could still barely walk due to my back injury - it’s a wonder I managed to get out for the meeting - I decided to try it out.

While waiting inside, I was feeling kind of disappointed because the place looked so old and traditional. I was also wondering if the treatment would do more harm than good. This was the first time I’ve ever been to a TCM.

The suggest I go for a 推拿 as my symptoms suggests that I might have displaced my bones. So blinded by pain, I just agreed. The treatment started.

I’ve never ever felt such pain in my whole life. For the next half an hour, I was trying my best not to scream out and I could feel myself tearing up. The 医师 just continued working on me despite my pain. After the session, I still feel stiff but at least it’s not as painful. The 医师 said that now it’s just the muscle sore from being damaged. It’s take a couple of days to recover.

Now I’m home, back feeling all sore. Just hope that the soreness will go away in a couple of days and I’ll recover.
