Osteoarthritis

I hadn't ever imagined my first post of October will be on Osteoarthritis (退化關節炎).

So, what happened?

Basically, it's my right knee that aches throughout the week. First, I thought just let it be. It happened sometime ago but the pain disappeared after a couple of days. But this time, it keeps going and getting worse and worse so I finally went to the doctor after work today and this is what my doctor told me.

The doctor gave me some anti-inflammatory drug for the moment. If it doesn't go better, I might need to see a specialist and physical therapist later.

Osteoarthritis is quite typical for "old" people. I am simply a bit too "young" for this. Basically, the doctor said it can't go much better as the bones and joints are supposed to be getting old with us. What I can do now is not to over-work my knees so as to keep their conditions as of now.

I had planned to visit the History and Science Museum tomorrow on the National Day. I would also like to go to the Cattle Depot Book Fair as well. But, well, I guess what I should do now is to sit down and practice my calligraphy :(
