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

From sketching... Is that what they're calling it these days?

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

That sounds like a cyst. I had one and it eventually went away, but if yours doesn't you should definitely go to a doctor and have it removed.

I have a Ganglion too. It doesn't affect me though, and a specialist actually suggested I burst it with a hammer, which I didn't because a ganglion in my wrist is far better than a broken wrist. And Whaddaya know, I'm a designer too!

Use an ergonomic keyboard and mouse. That keeps my ganglion cyst from flaring up.

I'm in creative marketing and merchandising and get the same thing. I wear a wrist brace to keep mine in proper alignment. It's a pain to get used to, but once you do it helps a lot.

This right here is my biggest fear as a designer. I hope things work out for you OP.

I have the same problem. It's from writing a sketching, good thing I'm not an artist, or a student, wait I am.

If the drummer from Def Leopard could continue his career after losing his arm I am sure you can overcome this.

I have that in both my wrists. My dr. said it was because I have loose ligaments and the muscles in my wrists and arms aren't strong enough to compensate.

If it's a Ganglion Cyst (google it) there's a very simple treatment, you know. Bash it with a bible and it will break and go away for a time. I had one that was pretty persistent. I just bashed it every time I saw it and I haven't had it for a month now.
