Wow this sucks. Understatement.
Uh so basically I fucked up my wrist somehow..? Was originally going to go into a lot more detail but after spending over two hours researching multiple medical sites and reading up on human anatomy, I'm pretty sure I know what it is so I'm going to try keeping this...at least relatively short.
Obviously I'm not going to make any stupid assumptions like saying it IS this for sure, since I'm not a doctor and can't make my own official diagnosis, but considering the various symptoms/causes/etc. that I've found that apply, I'm more or less certain that it's a Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex (TFCC) injury. Which means that I should probably stop typing (like I've been telling myself for the last hour?) considering, with the awkward way I position my hands/wrists when I type...that's most likely how this happened in the first place?
Ugh. Fuck.
I am not happy right now. I wanted to draw but this is in my dominant hand and...yeah. That's not going to happen anytime soon. Granted I usually ignore when I'm in pain if it interferes with something I want to do but...I'm trying to break that habit, and considering I don't want to risk fucking my wrist up permanently, now seems like a good time to start doing so.
Bluh. I'll ask dad to take me to a doctor/hospital/what-have-you in the morning.
Heh. So much for keeping this short. Oops.
