Hi again xD [Update]
5 years ago
General
Once again I am writing this with an ice pack to my back but i have updates!
Firstly, I know i was kinda just casually talking abt what was going on but I wanna thank those who responded with concern and support and the uh... much appreciated nudge to go get my issue checked out. Hahaha
Admittingly I did wait much longer than I should to go to a doc cuuzzz Covid19 anxieties (and it just never seemed serious enough???)! But yeah after realizing it's almost a month already and my home efforts ain't stopping it so i think that's enough reason to go.
So yeah long story short to no one's surprise I did pull a muscle. Which sucks cuz that actually takes a long time to heal. Good news is seems like I was on the right track already with some of the stuff I was doing like wih the stretching and icing. And I was given a regiment to start on with a scheduled heat/ice routine as well as some steroids and pain killers to help relax it. Also went out to get some more lidocaine patches and a support to correct my posture so I think I am prepared and good to go baby! We gonna heal this bitch! ahahaha
So with that being my new priority Yeeeah Imma have to rly limit computer time. I am not gonna say I'm going on an art hiatus cuz i damn well just KNOW the moment i say that I'll probably be like "oh well imma just go do this art now cuz i feel like it" i think after how many years living wih myself I'm finally wising up to my own bullshit haha So really... it's gonna be a whatever i feel like happening as it always is xD But who knows maybe we'll see the return of more traditional art media cuz it's a lot less stress on me.
Anyway take care of yoselves folx! You only got one body. Stay safe! Stay healthy if u can! And much good vibes and love to y'all xD

The doctor didn't recommend it, because the muscles affected are in the back. And an arm immobilizer will end up affecting the shoulder joint which needs to move and cause it to freeze, which would in turn affect arm movement but won't do much for the original injured back muscles. That's why I'm just personally opting to try out a back straightener/posture corrector while sitting at the computer. (And fix up my computer layout while I'm at it.)
