That sounds serious, isn't it?

It would be if I kept pushing it! As long as I take breaks and make sure to use the brace on long work days it won't progress past mild irritation. Thanks for the concern though!

Be well Nahdia!Do make sure not to skip any appointments.

Glad to hear that! Keep up the good... rest?

I'll aim to be the best power-napper there is!

Glad you are feeling better! Sadly I know from first hand how bad an painful wrist/arm issues can be. Make sure to rest when needed, your body is your most important tool!

I’’ll make sure to give my hands a stern talking to and remind them that they are the breadwinners of this family!
For real though, hope your own wrist problems aren’t severe. This weekend was horrible for my motivation and stuff on the basis of not being able to do anything art related...

Actually I have nerve problems on my drawing arm due to continuous restrain for more than a year since... Four years now I think? What people don't usually understand (including my professors at uni) is that the worst part is not the pain, but the psicological problems that come with not being able to create. The biggest enemy to defeat is the feeling of despair and impotence.

But there are also some remedies for long lasting injuries! Physiotherapy and yoga help a lot, said by my doctor~ There's a processional illustrator I like a lot, Bobby Chiu, who did a series of videous in youtube and in one of them he talks about this theme, of how many injuries he had seen in students who ended their drawing career even before starting it.

I can definitely see the phycological effects being the worst. I found myself just power napping the whole week away just because I hated thinking about not doing anything, it was pretty bad.
I'm glad that you found exercises that work for you though! Yoga is definitely on the to-do list.

Nahdia! I'm so glad you're okay!
Can't wait to see what you dish out now that you're feeling anew!

Thanks conseqq! I have a couple things coming up that I hope you’ll like!

Dude I literally started having wrist issues a couple days ago. I’m having to rest and stuff as well :p

Oof, take it easy! Wrists are some weak little guys haha

\o/ So thankful you're okay but carpal tunnel is so dang stressful and painful. Definitely take care of yourself, surgery is absolutely awful even with the advances I'm sure they've made. :ccc
