So, for a while my wrist had been getting sore from drawing/using the computer. I didn't think it was that bad though, but I decided to to make sure I took more breaks. However, that wasn't enough, and looking back I realize why. Mainly my breaks were bad because it mostly involved me not actually giving my wrist a break, such as playing video games, or just browsing the web or whatever. I wasn't giving my wrist enough support either, so that was also a problem. It didn't help too that I didn't take any breaks whenever I was doing 3D modeling homework.
Anyways, what ended up happening was I hurt my wrist really bad (a repetitive stress injury). I ended up getting tingling in my hand and lost partial feeling in my fingers (not a lot though, but still not good). So I took a break from drawing and also tried to not use my right hand for anything else, or at least as much as I could. I also bought a wrist brace and took some anti-inflammatory medication. I'm at about 2 weeks now since I hurt it bad (my doctor said to give it 2 weeks). It's feeling better now. Well, I don't feel any tingling really, and my fingers don't feel any numbness, but my wrist still hurts quite a bit so that worries me :/ I'm definitely going to be careful and not rush back into using it a bunch. I'll probably just draw simple sketches to start and only draw for a short time, and give myself lots of breaks when doing my homework (though I'm kind of worried about falling behind >__<). This week I'm off though so I'm trying to give it as much rest as I can.
Well, hopefully it heals up soon. I really want to get back to arting. Making art is like therapy for me ;o; I keep seeing really cool stuff that inspires me and then I want to draw but I can't
And whenever I'm feeling bad I often draw to get rid of my frustration, buuuut I can't really do that >___< Eating good food helps keep my spirits up though '0' which I should be doing anyways so I heal faster >.> Playing video games is also a nice distraction. My left hand has been getting a workout from having to pick up all the slack
(actually it's been getting a bit sore sometimes too, but not too bad <.<) I think I should be able to get back to work soon though :>
