#worth the wrist pain

Every time I see writing advice like 'remember to stretch your wrists!' I remember the horror my physiotherapist had when he learned I was stretching my wrists before writing but also had chronic nerve pain.

Now this is important. It's nerve pain. He stared at me and then said: Stop stretching.

I stared at him in shock and he said: Muscular pain is different from nerve pain. Stop stretching. Nerves don't respond to stretching like muscles do, it's two totally different treatments. Don't believe me? Stop stretching until our next session and tell me how you go.

And folks I've been free from nerve pain in my wrists ever since. After about a decade. And that's 2 straight years now. 2 years.

I still get muscular pain, which I stretch when that comes up and only when it comes up. But the specific pain I had from ulnar nerve impingement in both hands completely vanished. I was unknowingly making it worse because I thought stretching the nerves was the same as stretching the muscles, and thought the answer applied to everything.

(Tl;dr everyone is different. My physiotherapist is studying to become a medical doctor and will quit out of the field soon, but I always appreciated that everything he told me was solidly backed up with peer-reviewed studies and never came out of nowhere. Also his 'try it for a month and see' was so much better than 'I know I'm right' - because it left a door open for the people who realise what they thought was nerve pain was probably muscular in origin).

Hey, y'all! 🖤

Here's a black and white version of the banner! I actually did most of the drawing in black and white, and then I added color towards the end to get the edges and details right.

And here's a video of the process! I like to take a screenshot of my progress when I'm done working on my drawing for the day, and I turned these into a video.

What do you think? Do you like seeing different versions and progress videos of my work? Let me know 😊🖤

Might fuck around and write something where Steve breaks his wrist and gets sad because his parents don’t change their plans to stay and take care of him the very next morning

and his mom calls after some wine tastings to say she wished she could’ve stayed home and taken care of her little boy instead
