Twenty third session for thumb/wrist

-

During the one-month period in between sessions, pain was triggered by

  • Palm pressed down on exercise mat to open the chest.
  • Slicing chicken/pork vertically.
  • Horizontal movement when scooping fish meat off its bone.

The pain was only slight. I believed that it was still an improvement.

Lee, the therapist, tested the thumb/wrist and then the arm. He postulated that the issue might be elsewhere e.g. the elbow. He then proceeded to massage the hand and a bit of the shoulder, while regularly asking feedback from me (whether it was painful or not).

Finally, he asked me to treat a 1kg dumbbell as a knife and to do the slicing motion. It still elicited pain but very slight. Then he adjusted my top right back and voila! The test didn't elicit any pain @@

As for the exercise regime, still do everything but adjsut as follows:

(1) Do the thumbs-up exercise (nicknamed Y shape thumbs-up) on exercise mat by lying face-down and lifting up the body slightly. x30

(2) Do (1) but with T shape i.e. hands straight out to the side with thumbs-up. x30.

No fixed follow-up appointment but I asked him by which point should I consult him again if the recovery stops. He suggested a month. Well, hopefully this is the last.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba...

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I ...
