π Spine Update π
8 years ago

=>Commission Pricelist<=β
So I have seen a physiotherapist, she discussed with me my spine x-rays and such.
Apparently nothing's wrong with my spine as far as bones or structure are concerned, however there is a strong possibility I have strained my muscles due to bad posture while sitting.
Either way, was advised to look to changing my sitting arrangements as well as given some rather interesting exercises to do while drawing >.>
It might take some while before my back gets back to normal, if it indeed is the posture. So for the time being I'm resigned to doing some back bending and twisting...
Damn, I miss the time I could actually sleep through the night. This crap is so weird and exhausting. Ah well. Hopefully it'll sort itself out eventually. In the mean time I have painkillers ^^
Over the next days I'll be finishing all YCHs I have been paid for so far. I'll note you with WiPs shortly.
To the rest: thanks for tuning in and participating in Dickember :D This year's event will be epic! ^_^
If anyone is interested in signing up, simply note me ^^
Love and hugs! π

I'm glad to hear it's not spinal at least. Hope the stretching and changing your sitting helps out.

Well. yeah it's not bones, but muscles are as equally serious. Spine muscle inflammation can turn chronic very easily as those muscles get very little rest. So I need to take extra care of this >.>

Get a gaming chair. Those are very good chairs for sitting in. Office chairs only go up to half way up your back. But in a gaming chair the back rest goes all the way up to your head and supports both your tail bone, spine, and head. You can also very easily lounge around in it while you work on arts.

Agreed! They are a bit pricey, but they do wonders. Got one myself and it's far more comfortable than a regular chair as more. You'll find yourself leaning back a lot more than forward.

Yes they do work wonders. They maybe expensive but they do pay off. I'm considering on getting one myself too. And so should our friend here. This chair has many special adjustments that normal chairs done have. That and these chairs are designed to keep you comfortable and in a safe seating pose for hours on end when gaming or anything else you do at the computer for hours.

Gaming chairs are great, eye. But I can't afford one at the moment and they're good for gaming aka when you are looking ahead on a screen that's around your eyesight height. I work on a tabletop tablet, which doesn't go vertical. So I need to slouch a lot, meaning my back doesn't get the support from the chair anyway D:

Maybe try a tablet to computer configuration? I know artists do that too. They have the software on the computer and tablet and use a tablet pen to draw on the tablet like it's the paper and that goes onto the computer into the software and works perfectly. Donno what it's called but I seen it before. Artists using computer and gaming chairs. Maybe change up your layout? Slouching over a tablet all day isn't good for your back at all. Your neck and back need the proper support.

That would defeat a purpose of having a cintiq :P And it's easier said than done to change eye-hand coordination :P

Then maybe find a special test for tablet only users along with a gaming chair. I wouldn't slouch over a tablet all day, just 30 mins starts to kill my neck and back.

Chair might be a part of a solution, but a. it costs a lot, which is not something I can afford and b. my tablet isn't going up. It's more or less keybord position tablet, which means I need to slouch a lot :( Without changing the tablet (which is something I need to do soon anyway) the chair wouldn't do much :(

Glad it isn't anything too serious :3

Well, it's still kinda serious. Because if my muscles continue to be inflamed, it might turn chronic and then there's not much that can be done about it :(

Ah, I meant like anything nervous or bone related ^^;
