its literately just rest your hand... try to use your other hand more also sitting in a better pose.

(before summer vacation )
when i used my left hand for everything it stopped hurting after a week and after two weeks and i was good to go again

(now)
after couple months sitting wrong now and drawing for work i need to look at how i sit again because i can feel it coming back
but resting is seriously the best thing to do...

this works for me by having vacations and just don't draw :'I

so straight backed position? i didnt know sitting position effected it :o

yea its mostly because not sitting right that you got a wrong position with your shoulder elbow and your hand

there are also small exercises you can do to prevent it for going further

google hand relaxation for artists, it's rly useful

thanks bro

you can do them all the time when you work and itll prevent things like these happening again :3

np!

have you tried cracking it? there are 3 ways I crack mine.

1. make a right angle between the hand and forearm with the palm directed toward the underside of the forearm. press on the back of the hand with the palm moving toward the underside of the forearm

2. make a right angle between the hand and forearm with the back of the hand directed toward the upper side of the forearm, palm out. press on the palm with the back of the hand moving toward the upper side of the forearm

3. wring the wrist with the opposite hand. making sure that the thumb and middle finger meet and are wrapped around the joint between the radius and ulna in the arm and wrist bones. Gently squeeze

cracking joints is not unhealthy like some people claim. It repositions the bones and redistributes fluids in the joints.

it may not fix it but it might make it feel better. it could be a pinched nerve as well.

does the hand have pins and needles?

hm thanks ill try doing this if it strikes again, and no pins and needles or numbness
