I do sleep with two pillows, mainly because they're so damn flat. I don't use both to support my neck though. I sleep on my side with one arm on top of one with the other pillow on top of that. I usually feel the best in the mornings. The pain starts to really become a problem when I've been sitting up straight all day.

Now, this comes from self experience, if your pain starts at the base of your neck, on the same side as your suffering hand and sometimes feel it just as a dull pain and others as a sharp pain going all the way down to your fingers, that might be cervical pain, the posture of the neck is important, its also called "the cellphone syndrome", you know the postures those thing makes us do. Also take notice of every little thing that strain your neck, even the pillow too fluffy can cause that pain, and i'll tell you my pain lasted a whole year until i changed my oversized pillow for an ergonomic one and in almost 2 days the pain disappeared. Imagine that, a whole year with a sharp pain from dawn to dusk, spent hundreds on physiotherapy that only mitigated the pain and all that needed a fix was a damn pillow 😂😂😂😑😑😑😑😑😑 worst year of my life so far

I didn't mean that last post to trivialize you. I do hope you have a full recovery and you should take as much time as you need to do so. Full recovery = full function.

We're behind you on whatever you wish to do! Your health is more important

Do this as a challenge... Try doing some test art on the opposite hand, see what comes out. Why not?

I feel a bit silly for announcing this right before looking deeper into some other possibilities. I'm still not ruling out the wrist problems as they were the first symptoms but today I've mostly been having pain in my neck and arm. This could mean I just have a pinched nerve, which from what I've read is pretty normal to experience. Joints will ache, parts of my body feel numb and sometimes sting which are indicators of this. It 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 heal in a few days or a couple weeks which is more reassuring than life-long wrist pains. To accommodate this, I've raised my monitors up to eye level so I'm not bending my head down to look at the screens. I'll still try using splints and stress ball exercises just in case my wrists DO have problems.

Take at least the next month off, if not longer. Your health and well-being is most important.

Your health is more important, dont stress over us we'll be fine without something being done on time.

Have you thought about moving from the computer and to an iPad? Clip Studio Paint is on there and may help with your wrist mouse issues.

Focus on yourself- better the reward is late and you are healthy, than you hurt yourself- you are the priority :)
