Arm status (Patreon)

Hello dear Patrons! Just wanted to give you an update about my arm's health.

As I didn't notice any kind of improvement by resting during all these weeks, I finally had a meeting with a physiotherapist.

His opinion is that I have been misdiagnosed all these years, as I was starting to suspect, and that I may have:

-a very rare type of tennis elbow called Synovial Plica Syndrome, that would most likely require surgery

-or... after having been misdiagnosed for so long I have developed Sensitization Syndrome, which means my brain interprets the tiniest amount of discomfort as unbearable pain

Now I have to get an ultrasound scan on my arm so we can see which one of the two possibilities is. I honestly don't know which would be worse, surgeries scare the hell out of me :'D

On the good side though, he actually recommended that I keep drawing so my arm muscles don't become atrophied due to lack of use. He'd given me a few tips to correct my posture as well as exercises to strengthen my arm muscles in the meantime.

My social media will still remain on hiatus while I wait for the results of the ultrasound scan as I want to know exactly what's going on on my arm before making any public announcement again.

That is all for today!
Tomorrow I'll hopefully prepare the rewards for Tiers $10 and $20 and send them asap.

Thank you everyone who's sticking with me here ♥ Your support means and helps me a lot during these times.
