Went to the doctor this morning, confirmed that the strain from working has affected the muscles in my arm and that it will heal, but needs time and effort for it

no drawing for two weeks, keep using the gel, wear my wrist brace every minute of the day that I can (so don't use my right hand if at all possible)

oogh

and when I got back I made an appointment with a physiotherapist/hand therapist for next Wednesday, and I wish that was sooner

the studio and the work injury place have at least been helpful, but bluuuuuugh not being able to draw wrecks me emotionally

I want to get back to my hobby drawing too, but still not sure yet when I can do that, because I might need to ease back in with less hours...

bweeehhhh I thought I was doing everything right for this...

I need the physiotherapist to give me a solid list of stretches/strength-building exercises I can do in the future so that this doesn't happen again...

MMMM . good luck :C

thankeees

ultimately you probably were doing everything right - once an injury has occurred it's more likely to recur, that's just the nature of human bodies

heckin' human bodies!
