Wishing for speedy recovery

I visited a Chinese physician today. He was recommended to me by my mother. From his name card, I read that he specialises in: arthritis, rheumatism, backache, fatigue, sport injuries, headache & migraine, kneecap pain, muscle cramps & sprains, sciatica nerve pain, neck and shoulder ache.

He spoke in Mandarin, and I couldn't quite know how to translate his diagnosis to English. Anyway, it seemed that the injury did not happen overnight. There was misalignment at the finger joint. The doctor listened to my accounts and asked me to move the little finger so that he could diagnose the problem. With some pulling and turning, I was pleasantly amazed at how he managed to realign the joints back. It felt good to have the joints working smooth again, but I now know it is still fairly weak and I need to take good care of it to help it heal. He advised me to allow the little finger time to recuperate where possible so that the injury would not resurface.

At the very least, I was relieved to hear that that I could still practise moderately. I was feeling upset for the past few days that my practice regime had to slow down and basically come to stagnancy because of the injury. Furthermore, I had taken leave for most of this week, in hope to have more time to practice!

Anyway, the physician gave me a finger brace for the left little finger (see below). I am to wear it when most of the time, except when I am sleeping, bathing and practising. I will have to see the Chinese physician again next week at his practice located at Haig Road. Let's hope the finger will be stronger by then.

Eastcoastlife suggests that I put up the details of the Chinese physician (sinseh) here in case anyone would like to know:

Please wish me a speedy recovery. I don't know the date for my music performance exams date but I know it will be just a month away.
