Because of my freak accident, I suffered a very bad strain on my lower back. Western medicine only consist of painkillers which isn’t a long term solution in my opinion. As such, I decided to try out Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Decided to go for acupuncture as recommended by my aunt. Admittedly, I was rather nervous about during my first acupuncture experience. The thought of having needles going through my flesh… hmm.. not exactly fun,huh? Many told me, it is just like an “ant bite”. I was wondering, how does an ant bite feel? I haven’t been bitten by an ant before; saved those red fiery ants’ which are really painful! I certainly hope it isn’t like an “ant bite”!
Conclusion, the physician was rather professional/quick and the needles were “poked” through my pain within minutes. What I didn’t know is that she wanted to add on electric current to the needles! So, there I laid on the treatment bed, with several needles and electric current flowing through them! You bet, I didn’t dare to move an inch till the whole treatment is over!
Nevertheless, the results proved to be satisfactory, I have since went back for 2 more sessions of acupuncture. Accordingly to the physician, the injured area can never be back to its previous form; but it is at least 90% there. 
Try acupuncture if you do have some sprains/chronic pain. It works and trust me – it is just like an “ant bite”! 
Poor boy, when we were cutting his fingernails, the thumb got into the way and .. OUCH!! This happened not once but twice – on the same thumb furthermore! 
Can someone tell me how not to end up like that?
I am a fan of ieatishootipost food blog. The blog owner – Dr Leslie Tay – is a doctor by profession and part-time (or maybe full-time!) as a blogger who goes around blogging on “worthy” food! I happened to have the same mandate as his blog’s slogan – “Never waste your calories on yucky food”. Mum always comment that “I live to eat” rather than “eat to live”. haha..
