Comfortable Direction 4

I had a pain in my right shoulder before last year when it had been cold from the late fall. I often went to the public bath or hot spring to heal the pain because I felt eased after having my body hot.
Last year I fell down and hit my bottom and had a sever pain in my back. It's been a while before having no pain or normal condition . So my memory to have had pains still scar me. It makes me to be afraid of getting hurt.
