I'm a big advocate for helping other people when I can and encouraging folks to take care of themselves. Genius that I am, apparently, it seems like that advice doesn't apply to me.
bout 3 weeks ago I ended up stressing my wrist to the point that I've been unable to use my right hand. I haven't been very talkative about it because I assumed I'd be able to get back to work quickly and make up for lost time but even after these few weeks I'm still struggling to use my wrist without any pain. I'm not ambidextrous and I only have the one hand to draw with and with it being unable to work, I haven't been out here producing art.
I love my job and I love you guys but I do believe my health needs to come first in this situation. I'll keep you all updated but in the meantime I will take things slow and share art when I create it. I don't anticipate it taking longer than another 3 weeks to heal properly but I want to try and be back to work before that. Thanks for being here and hanging on with me in the meantime; I'm happy to have you.

Oh dude I'm sorry to hear that. That's always been one of my worst fears.
I hope you do get better soon!

Hey there, keep it warm, use bengay, immerse it in hot water, cut some holes in a wool sock and make finger-less gloves out of it, so on and so forth. Hope you feel better soon you.

Not sure what your financial situation is, but if yah can spare 20-30 bucks i highly recommend one of those wrist braces. I managed to injure the heck out of my wrist awhile back, and you'd be surprised how useful it is just to have a wrist brace to keep the wrist aligned and the fingers in position. You can also make a makeshift one with some tape and a shirt and so forth (youtubes full of dyi stuff for it), but its a poor substitute but if your having problems like I did smacking the dang thing and getting pain spikes or accidentally bending it on something without thinking it and stretching out a healing chunk of muscle, it can be a huge use. Otherwise best wishes on the healing.

I'm starting to have the same problem. Try stretching and resting it. You might have to see a doctor as well. Unfortunately we can't do anything until quarantine ends.
