After work, I went home first and waited for Hubby to come accompany to see the doc. The lady doc was a China lady (quite fierce and rich from the looks of it) and she said it was really swollen and she dare not tui na for me. She said to use acupunture first to reduce the swelling.
Boo hoo, I was so afraid. Needles leh, being poked into flesh, so scary!!! It hurt though not a lot and I saw both ankles with a lot of needles sticking out, sob sob... I lied down for like 30 mins with the needles on and when the needles were removed, there was slight bleeding. She said it was good there was bleeding because that's clotted blood.
The swelling did subside a bit and ankles were not that painful when moving up and down stairs. I was given some medicine to take as well and told to sleep with socks on, avoid aircon/fan to blow directly on my feet and to elevate my legs when I sleep so that the blood will not all flow to the ankles.
Have taken my medicine and have my socks on, hope it'll become better soon bah. Not a good timing to have swollen and painful ankles like that when I have errands to run for ROM.
