Anyone Know What This Is?

Postby Walk the Torque on Mon Sep 07, 2009 7:23 pm

I had a sparring session last week and the oddest thing happend.

Towards the end of our session I noticed a lump on my arm. It was white, around two inches long by an inch wide and definately did not look like a burst blood vessel (because it was white). It kinda looked like the biggest blister I'd ever had.

I had blocked a few of my partners (very heavy) downward slaps, but I'd done this on previous occasions with no ill effect.

I massaged the area and it disappeared over about five minutes.

So I am wondering, has anyone else had something like this, and what the hell is it?

These are also referred to dermatologically as skin wheals.

It was your QI Damn it.. You must have been holding your anus a little tight and the qi could not flow thus causing the bump on your arm.
