Last weekend, after a strenuous hike up Jirisan Mountain, I came to see a doctor with typical body aches and fevers. I thought it was just muscle pain, but I couldn't sleep at night and felt so low on energy that I wanted to get proper treatment.
In the clinic, the director thoroughly checked my condition, asking me about my climbing time, whether I rested, and even how much water I was consuming. He explained that my aches and pains were a result of a combination of overwork, dehydration, and muscle fatigue, and recommended a treatment tailored to my current condition. He also encouraged me to focus on recovery without over-prescribing medication, which gave me even more confidence. On the same day, I received intravenous fluids, muscle relaxant injections, and light physical therapy.
Even while receiving the IV, they constantly checked on me to make sure I wasn't experiencing any discomfort, which made me feel more comfortable. After the treatment, I immediately felt much lighter. Unlike other hospitals, they didn't just assess my symptoms; they also provided detailed explanations on lifestyle management and the recovery period. The next day, my body aches were noticeably reduced, and after about two days, I was back to a level where I could function without difficulty.
