managed to go get my left wrist checked out today. i went to visit doctor teo my TCM *traditional chinese medicine* doctor.
he says that its a very normal type of injury for sports people. something to do with the muscles and tendons reacting when you hit an improper golf shot. probably because i had a slight injury and didn't let it rest, the muscles got tighter and tighter till it was so painful.
he did a massage on my left forearm and hand and within just half an hour, i felt so much better. it's only been 12 hours since i saw him and the pain has decreased by 80% ! whoo hooo !!
i think i have an amazing body. everytime i get a slight injury or rash, i take a shorter time to recover than the doctor says. i think doctors always say a longer time just to be safe.
eg 1: when i had the terrible rash. doctor said it'd take about 1 to 2 weeks to recover and then to continue taking the medicine for 5 days after the rash and itch goes away. took only 2 days for the rashes to totally go away and then i took the medicine for another 5 days :)
eg 2: when i jurt my right wrist, dr teo said i'd have to let it rest 2 weeks, but within 3 days the pain was all gone !
whoo hoo thanks wonderful body for being so good at recovering !
i have to rest from golf for 2-3 days at least so this weekend i'll be having a lot of time to do other golf related things like create more golfing collages on polyvore and taking more golfing fashion pictures.
i'm looking out for cheap polo tees so i can't print some designs on them as an experiment and also to take more pictures ! wheee
even when i'm injured and can't play golf, i am grateful for the experience of learning about my injury and having free time to do other things than just training golf the whole day. i'll also be working more on the mental aspect of my golf game.
