Yes, and another aspect that supports the diagnosis of stasis and stagnation is the fact that you describe the pain as a soreness as opposed to a sharp pain. Does it feel better when you apply pressure?
In Chinese medicine, what you have is probably Qi and Blood stasis caused by longtime-injury. This is harder to treat than acute injury with acupuncture. However, I can suggest that you look for an licensed acupuncturist and ask for cupping. It helps get the blood flowing again.
Hi
I went through physical therapy for back problems and it worked really well. One of the best is:
* lay on your back
* take a rope or belt and place it under your foot
* using the rope, lift your foot as high as you can, while keeping your back flat to the floor.
* make sure to keep your stomach muscles tight as you raise your foot
* exhale & loosen your stomach musles as you lower your foot slowly
* repeat this with each foot for 15-20 minutes each day
Hope this helps.
