Still on hiatus but here's a lil update!

Hey y'all! Arm is still funky but I have spoken with two different doctors since my last journal so I thought I'd provide an update on how things are goin!
My wrist is okay now as it turns out--I finished with my PT, but of course after my second-to-last appointment something went wrong and a long car ride combined with more PT aggravated something in my arm and I've had new pain/swelling/inflammation ever since. Pretty darn excessive considering I never actually injured myself. >:I
So pretty much the consensus is that the tendonitis is in my entire arm, not just the wrist--but I haven't been using my arm at all, so it was kind of agreed upon that ny hypothyroidism is likely the culprit and what's also causing me to have these weird seemingly baseless flareups of inflammation ( https://imgur.com/a/H5DpYx5 like?? the fuck)
Sounds bad, BUT because it's hormonal and not an actual injury it SHOULD clear up as my thyroid medicine kicks in. I'm hopefully looking at maybe weeks to a month-ish as I gradually increase my thyroid dosage for this all to go away or at the very least get to a point where I'm less symptomatic and able to actually go back to drawing. ; v;b
