damn it
2 weeks of nagging, dull pain in my right hand, wrist, and forearm has forced me to conclude this may not be just your average muscle overuse.
i'm worried that, considering my workload at the office has actually been lighter in the past few months, I may in fact have something more cumulative in nature.
internet research has revealed that possibilities range from tendonitis (preferable as it is less permanent) to carpal tunnel (not so hot) to osteoarthritis (worst case scenario).
planning on scheduling an appointment with an orthopedist tomorrow.
ARGH. Not the best problem to have when you've got 4+ papers due in the next two weeks, were planning on completing a film script this month, AND work as a medical transcriptionist.
long-term fears include having to quit my job and be forced to work somewhere that DOESN'T involve typing. And let's face it, with a theatre degree, medical work is my planned primary source of income, at least for now. it's either this or back to Starbucks.
