Is it an ulnar nerve inflammation? I've got the same thing - I work as a translator and draw in my spare time. When I went to the doctor, she told me to take a 5-minute break after every 15 minutes of typing from now on, cut my work time drastically and casually said I'd probably need surgery too, with 4-6 months rehabilitation and a chance of significant (and permanent) nerve damage that I found way too high. She also prescribed anti-inflammatory medicine that completely screwed up my biorhythm, left me permanently exhausted but unable to sleep, and didn't do much to help. Because I really didn't want the surgery, as a last resort I visited an osteopath a couple of times and started using a standing desk and ergonomic keyboard. Now the nerve only acts up if I spend hours working intensively while seated - switch desk to standing and the pain goes away. Long story short: if medicine doesn't work, other methods (like changing your posture drastically) might help.

omg university is free?! That's amazing! Also, cos I went on your profile to see which country is providing free education...I noticed that we share the same birthday! LOL

Get some CBD tincture and salve. It's an amazing anti-inflammatory.

Praying for you
