Today, my younger brother complained yet again of soreness in his wrist. Frustrated with his constant whining, my mother turned to him and snapped, 'Well, what have you been using it for all this time then!?' The awkward silence of realisation for them both won't go away anytime soon. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a doctor examined my wrist, which is completely swollen and painful. He diagnosed a case of tendonitis and asked me, "Do you use this hand for a particular sort of sport?" I just smiled like a twit. FML
Today, my brother told me to, "Stop bitching and get over it" after I complained of pain from my stomach after invasive surgery. This from the guy who spends multiple hours a day playing Halo and whining about the stupid ways he got killed. FML
Today, my older brother called me ugly, and so I used the classic comeback ''It's not nice to talk about yourself like that." He responded by cutting the strings to my violin. FML
Today, I caught my 29 year-old brother-in-law scratching his poison ivy with a handful of forks before putting them back in the drawer. I called him on it and he huffed, "You've never said anything before." FML
Today, my younger brother and I got into a fight over who the favorite child is. My mom overheard, came in the living room and said, "It's your little brother, now shut up." She was serious. FML
Today, I woke up to my younger brother picking his nose with my fingers. His explanation? "You were sleeping." FML
Today, I discovered my brother likes to use our kitchen utensils to scratch his private areas. FML
Today, my brother gave me a massive rope burn. He got a 30-second talk with our mother. I got an allergic reaction to the lotion used to ease the pain. My mother said I was overreacting. FML
Today, my younger brother decided it would be fun to slam a door on my hand while I was holding my brand new $200 cell phone that I got for my birthday. Nothing says Happy Birthday like a broken phone to go along with a broken hand. FML
Today, my little brother grabbed my boobs and wouldn't let go until I pried his hands off. When I told my mom, her response was, "Get over it. He's a little kid who doesn't know any better." He's 14 years-old. FML

Silly OP, He's just been practicing his pitches so he can fulfill his lifelong dream of playing cricket. Wait what do you mean it's not his throwing hand, you must be mistaken

Maybe a helpful sibling like yourself could step in for a while and take over his wanking duties. Give the poor boys wrist time to heal.

You are a special kind of disgusting and disturbing.

I'd say least get an X-ray of the wrist just to be sure. I had a wrist that was constantly sore and my doctor just brushed it off as overuse from my then new job of busing tables. After any two months it got to the point where I couldn't I lift or grasp anything with it. We finally begged my doctor enough to do an X-ray and it showed that I had a broken wrist the whole time and that the my hand had essentially started to separate from my wrist. That was a long time spent in a cast, braces, and physical therapy.

Holy crap that's awful. This is what I worry about when my doctor insists I'm fine. (Or I'm just a hypochondriac, who knows.) I hope you switched to a different doctor!

We did, that was the last of his screw ups in a long history of screw ups. Thanks to him and his misdiagnoses I had to have most of the cartilage and half of my patellar tendon removed in one knee. I was doing track, baseball, and mountain biking in high school and it was getting to the point where it was getting hard to walk and my knee was locking up. He just called me a wuss, and to suck it up (his words.) No, I was repeatedly tearing the patellar tendon and the cartilage had torn off in chunks and was locking up my knee. The good news is that he lost his license to practice shortly after the wrist incident due to so many other suits. Still sucks that i haven't been able to run since I was teen. No more baseball.
