Ahhhh a long culmination of things…

I originally went to school for music, and years and years of practicing through the pain is what started it with tendonitis. Following that, I’ve always had weak wrists, and so arthritis has really set in recently. 

The more and more I started drawing again, the weaker my wrists got (because I have always had a difficult time holding pens/whatever due to a gimpy ring finger on my right hand). Then playing tennis I had a hairline fracture in my wrist, which completely destroyed any strength in my hand… 

SO BASICALLY I can’t grip pens/pencils for any extended period now, and it’s all the way up into my shoulder at this point so it even kills me to type sometimes, blah.
