With reference to the icing - I am currently doing as advised by Dave Mac et al...The Lewis Reaction whereby you use cold water and a few ice cubes to cool the injury before putting it into a warmer environment (warm water), thus flooding an area which is renowned for poor circulation.Are you talking about merely icing Andyd? As this is considered foolish as prevents blood flow?
Cheers GCW, but where on the Wiki? (Sorry, but couldn't see it?)
I've been told that after 24 hours icing does harm, because it restraints bllod flow. But ice and warm water seems fine to me. I'm no doctor though.
Have you tried magic beans and tarot cards to go with the acupuncture?
Awesome, thanks for the advice guys...Snoops, I will stop the Lewis then and head straight for ice...Once initial inflammation has gone down - any knowledge of acupuncture to finger?
The Chinese have been at this for over 4,00 years now and have parallel traditional/western hospital systems in place.Would they not have stopped with the acupuncture after the first 1,000 years or so if it wasn't proving clinically effective?
