Today, I found out that the lump in my wrist that keeps getting inflamed and sore is caused by sketching and using my laptop too much. Good thing I'm in my fourth year of studying to become a designer. FML

Yea. We all know what "using the laptop" really means, too.

There are special mousepads with silicon that will prevent that from happening. Also you can get an amputation:)

Scumbag body: always working everywhere apart from the one function/part you most need. You could always allievate the stress by taking 5 minute breaks every hour, and cracking your knuckles. It releases gas bubbles in your hand which build up and cause stress (kinda like a hydraulic pump)

#22 - The 5 minute breaks is a great idea. However, cracking knuckles all the time will serve to gradually weaken OP's grip over time. It does this by putting strain on the tendons in the joints both when pushing or pulling on them, and when the large amount of energy is released during the crack. While it does loosen up the joints by releasing the built-up gas, it only works temporarily (as everybody probably already knew).

Enquire with you doctor if you can get surgery to remove the lump, I have o e on my right hand and it feels like extra tissue. Get it properly examined and hopefully get rid of it :)

Ganglion cysts :( I have one too! Just push it away, but surgery is a better option

I had the same issue. You can have the fluid sucked away and the inflammation will go. Might come back in a few years but at least that won't ruin your career. You can have it treated.
