Until today I'm still a little shocked. The shoulder pain that I have been having for over a decade has subsided to a point that I have stopped realizing that there is pain anymore. Of course, not a 100% yet, I only went once at the time I'm writing this.
I used to teach and practice Taekwondo when I was younger. During competitions, kicks to the head is double the points of kicks to the body. The constant blow to my head over time has caused a small part of my cervical to moved a little causing a nerve pinch on the nerve that goes from my left shoulder all the way to ring finger (4th finger) and the pain resonates around my entire left shoulder blade. This has also caused frequent severe migraines on the left side of my head. I've undergone many different treatments from east to west but nothing has given much relief. Normal physio, tit tar, acupuncture, qigong, tuina, paida, heat therapy, even special prayers, you name it.
Everyone who knows me knows that I always lean a little to my left side due to the pain. They also know I always have migraine on my left side of head. And I constantly rub my back against any edge of the walls I can find anywhere, like an animal cleaning its fur.
Yesterday, I went to So Stretch and Zaki, one of their physiotherapist assisted me. Together with the help of his teammates, we did a lot of pretty intense assisted stretches which I can never perform on my own. Some of them were quite difficult because my shoulder has been as stiff as rock for over a decade. After the session, I felt pretty sore on the shoulder area but the past pulling sensation were reduced. But, today for an entire day, I couldn't help it but to realize that a bulk of the pain is not present anymore. There is still a mild pain deep within my shoulder when I lift my shoulder toward my ear. Looking forward for my next few stretching sessions, but here is my simple thank you letter for now.
Update : Pain is mostly gone now. Just a little muscle spasm left from time to time.
