On top of doing commissions this month, I have to ask for donations. I don't want to but two days ago I started getting pain when I bent my elbow. Today, it hasn't gone away. I can't tell if it's the same or if it's worse, but it's one or the other. Either way, I looked it up today because I was worried with it being my drawing arm and all, and I'm pretty sure it's ulnar nerve entrapment mainly because it hurts to bend it, it goes from my neck down to my shoulder all the way to my 4th and 5th finger and it hurts to bend it, also there's a slight tingly feeling and just an overall increase in sensitivity to the arm, especially to temperature.

Evidently if it gets bad enough it can require surgery. If it doesn't, they can use injections or just exercises but either way I'm trying not to think about it too much. I just want to get it checked. I'm terrified of getting surgery and I can't afford it, either. Usually I just trudge through pain but since it's my drawing arm, I'm beyond paranoid and I don't want to leave it this way.

I'll be opening up commissions starting on either next Monday or next Wednesday, and I need to make a minimum of 750 dollars for rent and bills but now I also need to pay for a checkup, they make you pay 40 dollars up front at the clinic (Plus taxi fare, 10 dollars each way) and I don't have health insurance, and I don't know if they'll make me go back multiple times. I don't think the emergency room will see it as much of an emergency so I don't even want to bother with that. Any help would be appreciated and if you want to help you can send it to my paypal (sheelashrapnel@gmail.com).

You're not supposed to do things that make it hurt, and drawing makes it hurt a little bit, but in my current situation, what choice do I really have? That's why I want to get it looked at and taken care of as soon as possible because I guess it can cause muscle in the arm and hand to deteriorate. I'm legitimately terrified of anything happening to my arm/hand. So any help would be appreciated and I feel like crap having to ask for help in the first place, especially since I haven't been active on here because of my comic work. I'm just really scared, honestly, and I didn't know what else to do.

Edit: Also, I'm thinkin' pony preposes. What do you guys think and what would you want to see? Doing one of Cadance riding a YourCharacterHere dummy right now.
