Back Problem..

Mum hurt her back recently while clearing some of the stuff at home.

She slipped n fell from the chair but she broke the fall by using her hands to support her body. 2 days later, in a rush to get out from the toilet, she slipped at the toilet door. That just did it and caused her great pain.

Mum got worried and went to the GP. The GP sent her for an X-ray and prescribed her painkillers & antibiotics. At night, while having dinner, the GP clinic's called her and requested Mum to go back to the clinic for review the next day. That scared all of us!

So Mum went for the review, the GP told her that her spine is starting to show signs of Arthritis and advised her to take medication for it. It was a relief for Mum and us to hear that there were no hairline crack or stuff at her spine.

On Wednesday, upon the recommendation of Sis' friend, Mum went to see a Tie Da and her condition was better. The Tie Da told her that it will take 1-2 weeks for her to be fully recovered. But Ms Claire worsened her condition yesterday, Ms Claire told Mum that she wants to pee on their way to school. Mum being the indulgent grandma, attempted to carry her to pee and this made it worse for her back.

This morning, Mum told me that she will be seeing the Tie Da again. I just hope that Mum 's back will recover soon.
