Tendinitis
Hi all. Just a quick note on why I’ve been so quiet. I’m in the midst of an acute wrist tendinitis flare-up. This is actually the worst it’s been. Typically when it happens, taking a day away from the computer makes it go away for months. The only thing constant I found was that any yoga position with my hands supporting most of my body wasn’t very comfortable.
I suppose all these years of video games, animation, video editing, and other computer things finally caught up to me. I still blame it on Vanguard’s crafting system.
This time around, getting rid of it is proving to be difficult. Luckily it happened right before I went on holiday, but a week off the computer didn’t do very much. So, I spent another week on the couch. Nothing. Ice. Nothing. So I finally broke down and went to my health go to person - aka mom - who suggested a rather strict regiment. Ice it 20min, rest it 20 min, heat 20 min, rest 20min 4 times daily. That eats up 6 hours of my day alone. The rest of the time I can work, but every hour I need to take a 15min break to pace around my apartment doing wrist exercises.
It’s working. I now can rotate my arm without screaming. There is pain, but nothing like it was. But the new poses are taking a while to get out.
Cheers
Luth
