Iron/ Stiff Shoulder

Remember my post earlier about being down with on and off fever which resulted in 3 bed-ridden days? So this is the follow up post. Just 2 days ago on Tuesday, I was on medical leave due to my iron or stiff shoulder on the left acting up again.

I woke up at about 9am at which time I was already late for work. I couldn't seem to pull myself up as I could feel the stiffness on my left shoulder. Finally when I managed to sit up on my bed I kinda feel my left upper arm was numb, so I waited for a while thinking that it could be due to my wrong sleeping position. After about 5 mins, I realized shit…this is no freaking joke; this is not about the wrong sleeping position anymore.

The numbness got to me and then I used my right hand to massage my left shoulder. I didn’t even put any pressure on it and I could feel my left shoulder was damn painful with just a slight touch. That was when I knew damn, I need to sleep back and rest my body before I see doc later. Immediately txt my superior that I’m gonna take MC.

Mum then knocked my door as at that time I would have usually gone downstairs to get ready to leave home for work. Told her my left shoulder damn painful and immediately she asked me to wash up and she accompany me to visit the Chinese doc.

Visited the doc and yes…I kena wallop kau kau, really damn kau. Check out the picture after the intensive wallop from the Chinese doc.

As you can see from the pix above, my right shoulder is not as serious as my left shoulder; it is always my left shoulder where I normally feel the stiffness and soreness whenever I got too stressed up. Even masseurs would normally comment that my left shoulder is very stiff.

So after the wallop session, I feel damn good man. But during the session, I was about to cry out loud! The pain is damn unbearable k! BUT... but... better than the feeling that I was getting when I first woke up in the morning, scared the shit outta me when my left arm was numb, I thought I was gonna get stroke anytime soon!

Anyway, mum was surprised that I can take the pain and I did not shout at all. Yeah tell me about it I can’t believe it that I can take the pain too. I guess my fear of getting stroke at such young age could have taken over any other fear.

I need to see the doc again as follow up to get rid of the iron shoulder, I don’t wanna experience any horrific moments in the morning anymore.

If you have muscle pain, or something like that again, you can try the Sonotron therapy which I think works really good. I had a severe back pain and I tried once. The pain is gone completely. You can check it out at www.sonotron.my if you want to know more about it.

No harm on trying.
