Every job has it's occupational hazards.  Foraging through the thick, dense bush has triggered some severe tendonitis in my wrists.  Last month, it got so bad that I could barely use my fingers or my hands. The pain was incredible and I was scared that I'd have to stop working. The good news is that I went back to the acupuncturist I used to see a few years ago.  After three sessions, I can use my hands without any pain and all the swelling  in my wrists has subsided. I'm not sure if there is any correlation between my love for waxing Asian women and my gratitude for Chinese medicine and even my love for Japanese and Thai food, but I'm a pretty happy Brazilian waxer this morning.
