FIXING BACK PAIN

FIXING BACK PAIN

MY BACK HAS BEEN REALLY BOTHERING ME, for years. The last 8 months or so, I get home from a long ride and I can barely walk.  So, when the Chinese doctor said...

... I make you cry.

I was in.

Because she promised to pull the scar tissue out.

I show you, you see.

The price was so high, 
I figured it's going to work...

... even if it's a placebo.

Today I submitted to the pain...

  • standing on my back
  • poking me with needles
  • cupping out the scar tissue

... hurt like hell.

I didn't cry,
but I sure cried out.

She found places in my ...

  • butt
  • back
  • spine

... I didn't even know I had.

What I do know is, as promised...

... she pulled tissue out of my back.

Bloody.
Chunky.

My back wasn't bleeding.

Weird stuff,
for sure.

Did it work?

I feel good.

She said...

  • tomorrow, sore
  • three days, feel better
  • one week, pain all gone

... just in time for Cactus Cup's 40 mile XC race, on Saturday.

Hopefully, the only flaring up will be from...

... my after burners on the short, punchy climbs.
