Anonymous asked: Any tips on dealing with tendonitis? I have it now and it suuucks

there are many exercise guides for various types floating about online, but you know what? the best advice is to go see a specialist- a physio if you can, or at least a GP to give you a good idea/refer you to one because the thing is tendonitis comes in SO MANY DIFFERENT FLAVOURS OH BOY. one of the reasons the type I had this time was so Weird was it wasn’t carpel tunnel or wrist related! it was like. my whole lower forearm and in particular this one lil bugger that helps you turn your hand over- so I had to do different exercises to the kind that I was using the time I got bad tendonitis three years ago!

I can say the basics- rest, stretch within a comfortable range, stop whenever something starts to hurt, but the best thing you can do is Go Get Help from a person who knows wtf is up :Tb good luck and yes. it sucks. so bad.

Some information I gathered while having carpal tunnel syndrome myself! I got it almost six months ago and even though it’s mostly gone I can still feel it when I work too hard. 

I want to point out that I have NO medical training and that you SHOULD consult a doctor if you suspect that you have CTS. I will however try to do my best to answer questions if anyone has any.

Every artist who sees this post should do the following:

- Watch the video.

- Follow the instructions

- Reblog

I can’t stress you enough about how important these exercises are for your drawing hand. You don’t wanna get CTS of Tendonitis and similar stuff that will prevent you from making art or even hold  a pencil.

I first saw this video… I dunno, a couple of years ago? But after seeing this it instantly became part of my daily routine. Having your wrist crap out on you because you haven’t taken care of yourself while drawing is agonizing and not fun.

Get to stretching, artist buddies.

I usually don’t reblog stuff when a post demands it of me, but I found this video to be very helpful.

I’ll start trying these and see if they help!
