As the tightness in my left lower back/hip slowly has been coming back I scheduled another appointment with Dr Guan, the acupuncturist. I also asked him to work on a spot under my left foot. He put the needles in and as I was laying there I could feel how it got really tense in those areas and pulsing, then he took the needles out and used something to stab holes in the skin before he sucked the bad blood out(!)
Okay, it sounds nuts (and the stabbing part is pretty painful) but it seems to be working. His wife who is a bit better in English explained that I'm fine, my muscles are healthy it's just that they're clogged and the nerves make it hurt, or something like that..?
