In 2017, 47-year-old Li Bijuan twisted her right ankle while walking down the stairs. She felt intense pain in her ankle but believed it would go away soon—like any other sprain.

However, when it didn’t, she tried osteopathy, massage, acupuncture, and medication, but nothing helped. Instead, her condition only worsened. The pain in her right foot became so intense that she had to crawl to the bathroom. Eventually, the pain clawed its way up from her ankle, seizing the entire right side of her body.
