Awwrrr... really sorry to hear that. That definitely does suck... *Hugs*

That does suck, yes. :/
Hope the healing keeps up and that it recovers soon!

jesus i freaked out a bit

i misread your title as "Repetitive Brain Surgery"


...yeah nevermind me...

sorry about the news man D:

Sorry to hear that. Hope it gets better soon.

Probably part of what's kept me from writing more is my workspace is not very ergonomic or the most comfy. Lack of space keeps me from really changing it too.

I raw everyday. Nothing happens to me.

Rawrawraw.

Get better soon! *huggles*

Out of curiosity, have you tried anything like one of those "stress balls"? Sometimes such can help out... Been living with such in both wrists since 2002 myself, and I've found such can help >.>

doc says to start using them once it heals, to keep it from happening again :P

I read that as "I was rawring one day" and giggled a little, before rereading and whining.

Rawing?

Also, that sucks. :(

Very glad to hear you are on the mend Slate. Best of luck with the stress-balling to stave it off in the future!

if it's anything like carpal tunnel, the easiest method to get fully around it, stretch your arm -gently-. Work your wrist in a circular motion -very- slowly, once or twice every hour, and get yourself a wrist brace [20 bucks maybe?] keep it on when you sleep and any time you're drawing for a month or so, and things should begin to improve.....Hopefully o.o.

My personal suggestion is see a chiropractor. I have that happen a lot, he makes one small adjustment and the problem is fixed.

Oh cool, I had no idea you were planning to be at AC :D perhaps I can say hello if I see ya.

Ouch! X.x
Well, best thing is to not over-use your wrist. Don't use the computer too often (especially when you're working on a laptop since those are ergonomically irrisponsible) and try to take a small break during drawing or typing every 30 minutes. =3

One thing that I could suggest to solve the wrist-problems for any future occasions.
1. Make sure you have an Ergonomical workspace.
- Get a standard for your laptop\notebook (if you use a laptop) so that the screen is on the right height.
- Get a separate keyboard so that you can relax your hands and move the mouse in a good way.
- If you use a desk-chair, make sure it's set to the right height\position so that when you rest your arms on the table (or chairhandles) they are in a curve of 90 degrees.
- Make sure the screen of your LCD\Monitor doesn't face the window (lumination) or faces it with its back (saturation), instead make sure that it faces the window side-ways, it is way better for your eyes and increases the time you can work on a laptop.

(maximum time you can spend working on a normal Laptop\notebook: 2 Hours.)
(maximum time you can spend working on a Laptop\notebook with an ergonomical workspace: 8 Hours.)

Also, getting a break-program that tells you when to take a rest\break can also help a lot.

Wristbraces can help a lot. they force your wrists into a correct position, but still let you do a lot with them. If you haven't already, take some time to look up proper typing posture/ergonomics, it can make a very big difference. Also, some exercises to flex your wrists can also be helpful.

Also, sometimes people damage their wrists overnight as they sleep, because of a bad position, so try to pay attention to see if you ever wake up in a bad position (like with your wrist folded, etc).

Good luck with it! D:

I got tendonitis from too much typing back in my scening days. I can empathize.

You know what else sucks? Vacuums.

Ouch, that would suck.

I can empathise, I've got Tenosynovitis so have to be careful all the time. Stupid body, this wouldn't happen if I were better engineered!

Could be worse... Could be wanker's cramp... ;)

Hate it when that happens~ But nothing like ice and a band aid to fix things.... or so im told. Ive had repetitive strain injury to my back.... not the most pleasant... but it passed after some good R&R.... and during that time i did get caught up on the movies i needed to watch :P

Dang, that sucks. It must be hard to love drawing and not being able to do it. I'm glad you're getting better and will hopefully see you at AC. :)

That sucks :<

Feel better soon!
