I got the same thing. I feel for ya
You guys are doing it wrong, correct your postures.
Wear a sweatband on your wrist, or something else to cushion it. It worked for me and the lump went down.
I got it too; as you can see from my picture I draw and I drew too much one week... Holy hell it hurt. Feel for you, OP.
Immerse hands in a bowl of warm water to loosen the hand muscles. It should help the entire hand. Or you can put your hands at a sink of running water.
Sounds kind of like when you first have a callus starting up. Once it hardens it's fine.
I've had one for about 11 years. If its the same thing, it's called a ganglion cyst, it can be drained or surgically removed.
I have one in my wrist too- except mine gets inflamed when I play volleyball. Have you tried seeing a doctor for it? I've been told mine is a cyst
#37 - Both are types of repetitive motion injury.
Sketching, speedbagging, five knuckle shuffle...... too much of a good thing and all.....
Have you thought about a wrist guard?
I have it too.. You can massage it down and it seems like it goes away but it will come back...massage it down and then wear a wrist guard while you draw and use your computer.. I got mine junior year of high school from drawing and writing..it's been two years since I started using the guard and it prevents it from coming back but if I don't use the guard it does..
I have that as well, on the underside of my wrist. Started when I was around 10. When it gets too big and annoying, I slam it down on hard surface so it ruptures. It is not a treatment I recommend to people. I tried it on another lump which came up on the top of my foot. I tried hitting it with a hammer to see if it would go away because it was irritating where one of my shoes buckled. When it didn't I went and had it x-rayed. Turns out it was arthritis. The Dr though my treatment was amusing, but not advised.
Ironically that is how doctors used to treat it. They would slam a book down on it to burst it. Now they have better ways of extracting it Less painful ones :)
Yep, that sucks. There are things you can do to help alleviate the stress on your wrist and prevent it from recurring though; talk to your doctor about your options. It isn't the end of your design career if you take care of yourself.
guess you better learn CAD

From sketching... Is that what they're calling it these days?
Yea. We all know what "using the laptop" really means, too.
