1. back injury

i injured my back during bmt in aug 2007, and i've no history of back injury before that. i experienced back pain for 2 days which i initially thought it's ache due to training, i did tell my pc and he told me to see medical officer if this carries on. after enduring the training with the pain, especially carrying loads and running, i can't get up when i was doing a shuttle run next day as the change of direction is too much. i went to mo for a few times after that and all i get is something to apply on the back, and a status slip... the pain didn't go off and i still unable to walk properly.

i went to glen eagle to see a specialist after i get a referal letter from a family doctor. ok... lets cut the story short, i've seen physio as well. so here is what happened to my back.

- my back doesn't have the curve of what a normal person should have (too straight), i was told that it's only a matter of time that i get injured doing physical training.

- back bone early degradation (omg...)

- muscle imbalance. the right side of the back is alot harder than my left, physio: of course pain la!

now i can't run, can't carry heavy stuff, limited back movement... hai...
and yes, i'm going through physio sessions. remind me of the nuh physio who i'm going to see tomorrow! =)

2. nose bleed

i think many of you have seen how i bleed, and it's VERY serious.
it's due to thin low vessel wall in my nose and my cousins have the same problem too. i can just walk and bleed out of no where, hot weather and dusty environment will contribute to it.
it doesn't stop easily, and blood doesn't drip out but flow out. the blood clots will get out as well, and it's a common scene that blood comes out from my mouth. (i look like a cancer last stage, no offence.) by the time i manage to stop it, i've lost alot of blood and i get dizzy. the story doesn't stop here, the blood clots stuck in the nose makes me hard to breathe and blood in the throat --> sore throat. i'll bleed like this for a few days, amen... it's like i've menstration in my nose. -_-||

my camp is very dusty, next to construction and factories. yes, i bleed very frequently. and i know you may be thinking about, pes down or post out, i can't tell anymore about it here as it's inconvenient. potential trouble, it's better not to risk it.
