Thanks Extravert

It's slightly better today. I use tiger balm medicated plasters.. hehe. we chinese have so many cures But its working i guess, soothes the pain. and the swelling is subsiding. so hopefully will be back on the bike on the weekend.

I tried finding castor oil here once could not find it at all.. heh. looks like its not part of the local herbal repertoire...
