Arm update

[louiselux]

I bought a new computer chair this afternoon, from Staples, centre of the universe. It has many levers that make it incredibly adjustable and here I am typing with almost no discomfort at all - an amazing difference from my old chair. Just sitting in my old chair this morning made my arm start to tingle and ache. My typing posture now would have ergonomists everywhere licking me in spasms of delight, I think. The chair goes by the charming name of 'Leather Faced Operators Chair'.

Physio tomorrow, for more poking and manipulating. I went to the osteopath on Friday and she told me I have double crush! Which means the median nerve in my right arm is pinched not only at the wrist, giving me truly horrible random tingling in my thumb and forearm, but it is being pinched in my neck too. That is alongside the tennis elbow. I have moved my mouse to the left side, I have been given exercises, I have to swim but only with a float, most importantly I have to cut back on time spent writing. Big sigh.

Sorry to hear about the writing. I'd go spare if I had to cut back. *hugs*

It does suck, a lot. It's hard being sensible in the face of porn that needs writing.

*hugs*

Arm pain, nooo! That doesn't sound like any fun at all, I'm sorry. :( And not being able to write is a big bummer. Hope the physio helps!

Thank you. It is not fun in the slightest!

Sad news about the writing.

But the new chair sounds shiny. Hope you're on the mend and out of pain soon.

Heh, me too. Thanks :) The not writing thing hurts a lot.

Maybe the voice recognition software will work out. Thi k what fun you can have teaching it to understand all the lovely terms we take for granted - cock, lube, slick, rimming...

(Surely "double crush" means Hakkai and Gojyo?)

Owie. It sounds most unpleasant. I hope the exercises aren't too hideous. Cutting down on the writing is too hideous, though. I hope it all clears up soon!

And your new chair sounds very hardcore and domineering. It knows what's good for you!

Oh, ow. I'm sorry you're in pain *and* you can't write. Double crush, indeed! I hope the physio gets you on the mend.

Yah! on the new chair, and so sorry to hear about the tennis elbow and double crush. :-( Thought at least they know what the problems are now and can hopefully treat it effectively. Sorry, but don't know anything about VR software.

BTW, are you coming to the Xmas LJ Dinner in London? Would be lovely to see you!

P.S. That chair sounds like something out of a spy movie or 'La Femme Nikita'!

Yeah! About the new chair. Rats, about not writing. Maybe it will be a short break this time? Hope so.
