Chronic Pain<\/h2>\n\n
\"\u00c5ke\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

It started a long time ago, during my studies. I got severe pain in my right arm while writing. The pain lasted for a long time and I had to activate my arm after writing for longer periods of time, for example after taking notes at lectures or at exams. Eventually the problem became chronic. The pain wasn\u00b4t the main issue. My arm didn\u00b4t work the way it should and I couldn\u00b4t write at all with my right hand. I had to learn writing with my left hand. It started out quite well but after some time I got the same kind of problem in my left arm. I accepted I had problems writing with a pen but after a while it started to get problematic writing on a keyboard. The fingers on my right hand hit the wrong keys, and only using the forefinger makes you crazy. For many years I had the ability to typewrite with good fingering. If you loose that ability you don\u00b4t get any flow in your typing. I learned to control the computer mouse with my left hand because of the pain I had in my right arm, and I still use my left hand controlling the mouse.<\/p>\n\n

Tried Different Methods<\/h2>\n\n

I tried different methods to get rid of my problem. I visited the doctor but I didn\u00b4t get any sensible answers, there were nothing that could be done. A midwife with a weeklong course in acupuncture gave me a few acupuncture treatments but it didn\u00b4t give any results. Neither could the naprapath help me, but the massage he gave was comfortable.\r\nBy coincidence someone at my work talked about qigong. I barely had heard about it, only seen the concept but not taking any notice. I thought it was ridiculous. At that time I was a little desperate so a colleague and I joined our first course in February 2001. The same year I participated on my first summer course and I have participated on almost all summer courses since then and practised regularly at home. It took a couple of years before my arm was ok. Possibly because I was fixated on my arm so I might have locked myself. Meanwhile other problems disappeared without me thinking about it.<\/p>\n\n

Intestinal Cramp<\/h2>\n\n

I used to have problems with my stomach. Flatulence and cramps. I\u00b4m not quite shure when those problems disappeared. It probably happened in an early stage. I didn\u00b4t even notice it because I was so focused on my arm.<\/p>\n\n

Lumbago<\/h2>\n\n

In the eighties I hurt my back while helping a friend carrying furniture. I became a cripple for a couple of days. Thereafter I suffered from lumbago for nothing. Once I got lumbago when I was laying down in my bed watching TV. After practicing qigong for a while it occurred to me I hadn\u00b4t had lumbago for some time. Now I can note that I haven\u00b4t had lumbago since I started practise qigong.<\/p>\n\n

Burning Pain<\/h2>\n\n

An occupational injury I no longer have is a burning pain on the back of my thigh while sitting down. I had to sit on a blanket folded as a bike seat when I drove my car to avoid pain in my thighs touching the seat. At work they gave me a height adjustable desk because I couldn\u00b4t sit down anymore. I recovered completely from this problem.\r\nI probably got more improvements that I haven\u00b4t noticed. If you are nearly sixty years old you are supposed to have problems. I feel healthier compared to when I started to practise qigong fourteen years ago. I can\u00b4t imagine not practising qigong, it simply becomes a part of your life. It\u00b4s a great way to stay healthy and prevent injuries.<\/p>\n\n
