Painful Backache

I have been suffering backache for 1-2 weeks. It got pretty painful and affected my sleep. I thought and hope it will recover by itself but it didn't. Guess I am just getting old. The hubby asked me to go for a massage but I hesitated cos I know I can't go for spa kinda massage (which meant for relaxing).

I want to see a reputable TMC. Only know Ma Guang the popular local TMC and ended at Ma Guang @ Bedok. Luckily the masseur I met today is quite good. A lot people made appointment with him. According to the yi shi and tui na shi, the root cause of backache is due to long term sitting (resulted qi didn't flow smoothly) and also carried heavy stuffs (that is the trigger point).

At the end of a session of acupuncture (with heater) and tui na, my back feels much better. Now only feel aching instead of pain.

Advice to follow next few days:
(1) Dun carry heavy stuffs.
(2) Slow down movement.
(3) Avoid cold drink and coconut.
(4) Avoid tea. Coffee ok.
(5) Take Ma Guang's pre-made "lemon juice" for four days to tong qi.
(6) Stick Ma Guang's medicated patch over affected area for five days.

Hopefully backache goes away and never come back again.

After note: The hubby also went for tui na for his shoulder after seeing me feeling much relief. We see signs of aging. Amusing part is we helped each other on sticking medicated patch.
