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.

Can't really add any solutions, as most have been said already. However, I am just curious if the lump is on the top of your wrist? Growing up, I was a writer. (Feeling old, there were no laptops then lol) Constantly writing, hours a day sometimes. My right hand developped something like a cyst on the top that would flare up and feel how you described yours. Really painful, and crippling to the point that I could hardly hold a pen or pencil when it was bad, as well as lifting/holding weighted things (like my school bag strap). Also developped a calous(?) on the inside of my middle finger, I would bite it off lol. After years of not writing so much, the cyst rarely flares up, although the calous is still there. I actually taught myself to write completely different from usual and rotate them.
