Carpal tunnel syndrome?
13 years ago
General
Does anyone out there know anyone who has it?
What is it like? How did it begin?
I'm asking because I've noticed that my wrist (and sometimes my hand) feels weird when I draw nowadays. At first it would just go numb after 30-40 minutes of drawing.
When I stopped drawing it didn't really hurt, it was just a tingly sensation, like when your leg is "asleep".
Now it's even a bit painful, but not enough to be unbearable. I can't really describe it. It's like...A cramp, but MUCH lighter.
I think I'll just let it be or a while, and if it doesn't go away I'll ask a doctor about it. It's a bit annoying, but I don't want to risk anything.
I don't think it's CTS, actually. I just cant think of anything else. :1

Now I can't play those games or my instruments the way I used to. I'm limited to doing things for short times and taking a break when it starts hurting again. Even making fursuits is painful for me.
From what you're saying it doesn't really sound much like what I went through.
None of those diagnoses were correct, though.
