ITT we carpal tunnel

[Anonymous No.2776514]

Lately I've been having pains in my wrist, similar syntoms to carpal tunnel, look for treatment and tips.

Fag1:
>Warm water and stretch a lot.

Fag2:
>Ice and don't move your wrist.

Have you people dealt with this shit? Suggestions? Will I ever draw again? Do I end myself?

since it's only starting, you should take a break for a few days. I started feeling symptoms of tendonitis a while back, didn't draw for 4 days, and it went away. I downloaded this thing called Time Out, which reminds me to stop what i'm doing every 15 minutes for 30 seconds, and to take a 30 minute break every 1 hour.

Cock up splints at night while asleep. Get the metal ones, they last longer.
Wrist stretches every hour or so while drawing. Every 2 to 3 when not drawing.

Start doing wrist curls and pronations with light dumbbells 3lb max.

Stop drawing for a few days to help encourage healing.

lmao are you me
i've been having wrist pains since thursday and it's annoying as shit
i think ice is better though because swelling is what causes carpal tunnel if i recall correctly...? i almost killed my nerve with ice though so don't put it on for too long
i think not drawing is the most important thing though. and stretches are pretty simple just look em up
