Chapter 80: Experience is worthless, I'll earn more once it's gone.
It's possible that the recent cold weather in Milan has caused the indoor ice rink to harden.
In addition, the Winter Olympics are approaching.
Zhao Hongbo's training intensity was too high.
That's when Achilles tendon pain and limited mobility appeared.
"Next, I'll treat the inflammation first, and then I'll perform scar release and calcaneal insertion release. During the acute phase, I'll do it once a day, and after the condition improves, I'll do it once every two days."
Lin Mu continued, "Taking it in conjunction with medication won't affect your participation in the competition."
Zhao Hongbo breathed a sigh of relief.
His partner, Shen Xue, was even more dramatic, her eyes brimming with tears, probably on the verge of crying.
Lin Mu then remembered something.
partner?
Girlfriend?
Zhao Hongbo's introduction was rather strange.
However, it seems quite common for figure skaters to date their partners.
After all, spending so much time together can easily lead to feelings developing over time.
"Mary, apply some diclofenac to the patient first, then apply a pressure cold compress for fifteen minutes and call me."
Lin Mu looked at the nurse next to him.
The nurse hurried out to get the medicine.
"Have you considered that even if the pain is temporarily relieved and the inflammation subsides, your old injury will still affect your ability to move?"
Lin Mu sat back down next to Zhao Hongbo.
"She played with pain-relieving injections at the 2003 World Championships in Washington."
As Zhao Hongbo spoke, he looked at Shen Xue with a smile.
He still remembers June 1992.
The coach brought Shen Xue, who was only fourteen years old, to his side.
They trained together for only four months before standing on the podium at the National Championships, and then went on to win the Asian Cup.
The 1994 World Championships.
Finally, there are figures with black hair and yellow skin on the pairs skating rink.
The Winter Olympics four years ago.
They won China's first medal in pairs figure skating.
Then came the World Championships in Washington.
At the time, Shen Xue suffered a severe sprain in her right ankle. She played with pain-relieving injections and fought against the Russian star. The two then won the World Championship title for the second consecutive year.
Lin Mu understood.
Zhao Hongbo's statement is both the reason and the answer.
"Then you can come find me then."
Lin Mu had previously received injections of nerve blocks for a period of time due to Zanetti's research.
The system granted him the ability to precisely inject anesthetics into designated areas.
But I'll say it again.
Sports like football and ice skating require you to control the feeling of power when performing movements.
When I exert force after receiving a painkiller injection, I lose accuracy.
It's very easy to break the Achilles tendon.
Lin Mu then thought that since he would be the medical director of the venue, he probably wouldn't have time to give Zhao Hongbo a pain-relieving injection.
Perhaps they sensed Lin Mu's predicament.
"No need to trouble Dr. Lin with this, our team doctor can do it too."
Zhao Hongbo said, showing his understanding.
Pairs figure skating consists of two events: a short program and a free skate.
A short program is a program in which athletes must complete a set of programs within a specified time of 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
The free skate involves performing some highly difficult moves.
The timeline is not continuous; there is a day's gap between the two.
Therefore, there are specific guidelines for administering nerve blocks.
"Maybe we should just forget about it?"
Shen Xue turned her head away, wiped her face, and forced a smile as she offered her advice.
Last year's World Figure Skating Championships.
Zhao Hongbo's left Achilles tendon became inflamed, his old injury recurred and worsened, and he didn't even dare to do jumping movements.
She managed to finish the short program by using ice packs to numb her nerves.
They performed quite well.
But they chose to withdraw just one minute before the free skate.
Zhao Hongbo wanted to get a pain-relieving injection right then and there.
The coach and team doctor sternly stopped him, saying that the consequences of doing so would be too serious and could even affect the Winter Olympics.
The two should focus on their bigger goal: to win the gold medal at the Winter Olympics.
"How can we let it go? We didn't get the injection last time precisely to save it for now, didn't we?"
Zhao Hongbo gently stroked Shen Xue's hair.
"I will do my best."
After finishing his sentence, Lin Mu walked out of the ward.

Inter Milan won three games in the new year, bringing him over 300 experience points.
It cost over two hundred now.
Lin Mu felt sorry for him, but he could only comfort himself.
Experience is worthless.
I'll earn more after I spend it all!
wrong.
He didn't earn it himself.
Instead, we want Zhao Hongbo and his partner to earn the money.
Return the used experience points with interest.
I had just gotten back to the office when the phone rang again.
"Hello, this is Zhang Hongguo, deputy director of the Winter Sports Management Center. Coach Chen told me about the surgery you performed on Zhao Ruirui. I took the liberty of asking for your phone number. Could you please help Zhao Hongbo with this first? I can only return from China the day after tomorrow..."
However, the call ended.
Chen Zhonghe attacked again, followed by Li Kangren.
"The patient had surgery at our hospital last year. At the time, the surgery was considered quite successful. He was able to start ice training after three months and perform jumping movements after five months."
"The patient might be too anxious..."
Lee Kang-in was also helpless.
What doctors hate most is patients who don't follow medical advice.
Lin Mu was equally helpless.
These athletes always have their own principles and ideas.
What else can he do besides show respect?
Do your best.
"Okay, Director Li, I understand. Leave it to me."
Lin Mu said.
It seems that Zhao Hongbo and his partner are quite valued in China.
But that makes sense.
In winter sports, China has always been considered inferior to China in terms of both level and achievements in ice and snow sports.
The most promising area for a breakthrough is figure skating.
Zhao Hongbo and his partner won bronze medals at the last Winter Olympics, and they have a good chance of winning gold this time.
How can we not take it seriously?
However, Zhao Hongbo's treatment in San Rafael will only cost euros.
You also need to buy relatively expensive medical insurance.
But compared to the Winter Olympics, that money is not important.
Lin Mu then chatted with Li Kangren about Zhao Hongbo's condition for a while.
When the nurse came to call him.
Zhao Hongbo has also undergone initial treatment.
Why do you all look so serious?
Lin Mu comforted him, saying, "My release techniques are very effective. Besides, your mood can also affect your recovery."
He previously underwent a level 4 scar release surgery.
Including the recently upgraded one.
That's more than enough.
Lin Mu first observed Zhao Hongbo's condition and had him lie face down to relax his ankles.
Circular pushing and wiping method.
Using Zhao Hongbo's Achilles tendon as the center, perform circular rubbing motions from both sides, from top to bottom and from inside to outside.
The main purpose is to eliminate fluid accumulation and edema around the Achilles tendon.
Incidentally, it also relieves the fascia compression on the surface.
Then there is the calcaneal insertion release technique. Many athletes, such as Zhao Hongbo and Liu Xiang, often develop insertion-type strains and adhesions at the calcaneal attachment point of the lower segment of the Achilles tendon.
At this point, applying pressure in small, pointed spots is very important.
Back when he was at Inter Milan, Lin Mu was able to use his experience to help players relax.
It's just that I haven't reached the level of mastery I have now.
The whole process took half an hour, and Lin Mu was covered in sweat from the massage.
Zhao Hongbo was shocked to find that the pain in his left Achilles tendon had quietly disappeared by more than half.
Even my calves feel very relaxed.
"Use dynamic kinesiology tape to hold it in place."
Lin Mu applied a kinesiology tape to Zhao Hongbo.
This method, which has not yet been widely adopted in China, can utilize the mechanical support of the adhesive tape to maintain the loosened tissue state.
However, it requires a high level of skill.
