I've got a terrible pain in my hand since Thuesday. Now I have to not to work with it a lot till it gets better. Unfortunately I can't think of anything that I can do without my hand. I spend some time studying but I always take the book with my hand. I try to work with my hand when I'm working with computer but it takes a lot of time and I work with it anyway! Any suggestion about what to do?

If a doctor has told you not to use it then dont, may be you
should use a sling, but the doctor should have told you, and if by any chance
you are ignoring what you have been told you are silly.

The situation isn't as bad as you think, Sir.It even doesn't need to visit a doctor. I had the worse experience before.And I don't use it except when I have to. (I'm typing with 1 hand)But you know I'm bored to death and need some hobby which don't have anything to do with my hand. I can'tsit or sleep somewhere dreaming all the day. :grumpy:

Hey i can only type with one finger and things keep moving on my key board,
so that's not to bad for you, when i was a kid i couldn't use my right arm for
three months, it was a struggle at times but you learn to manage.
Will the problem with your hand heal, or is it a long term thing?

If I take care of it, it will get well soon.I can type with 1 finger too but I'm afraid that it causes the same for my other hand. I shouldn't do evrything only with 1 hand. Anyway I think I have to not post here for a while.Good news, am I right? :wink:

dduardo, good suggestion but it doesn't work for me. The problem is that I visit 3 or 4 sites and play a silly game at the same time and lots of other thing...The problem is that I'm too impatient. So I want to do evrything so fast.

more and let your hand recover.
