Backbone Spasm
I am back home again. No injury since the first day of BMT. Suddenly I was given 5 days of Attend C, followed by 7 days of Attend B plus 4 days of physiotherapy for only a slight paravertebral spasm; something related to the lower backbone.
I told the MO I am okay and wanted 12 days of Attend B instead but he insisted and told me to rest at home instead so I am going to miss a lot of lesson for the 12 days MC including the 7 days where I am fit for light duty.
Yesterday night when my mum was massaging my backbone, she saw 3 patches of blue black. Luckily, this 3 patches were identified and now things may not be safe again, I need to go to TTSH for re-treatment later.
My backbone is aching and numb. I am going to miss a lot of lesson including hand grenade and SIT test. Not only about that, I am going to miss even more if I am given more days of Attend C after further medical review.
All because of the route march and the field camp. I am only 48kg and they expect me to carry 18kg of weight (10kg field pack, 4 kg of water and 4kg rifle) and route march for 8km. The final route march is 24km, maybe I am unfit for that.
