Story time about when I lost my ability to draw πβ
After suffering from tennis elbow for 3 years, trying every single solution that every doctor suggested, from pills, to arm braces, to massages and exercises, I got to a point where I was facing the end of my art career.
I couldn't draw more than 10 minutes without feeling severe pain in my drawing arm.
π€ THAT'S HOW SERIOUS these issues can get.
Long story short;
Everyone misdiagnosed me, except for the last doctor I visited, the only one that actually listened to me and tried to make some SENSE of my situation. I didn't have tennis elbow but rather my brain believed I had it and brought terrible imaginary pain to my nerves.
My arms were so weak from using them less and less everytime, but now that I exercise them regularly I feel much better after a drawing session and I've learned to distinguish my bodies signals when it's tired for real, or just playing pretend.
So unless you want to go through all that mess and waste months of even years of your life without being able to create freely, TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY before it's too late! πͺ
Injuries don't warn you, they just happen.
