It’s a relief when a doctor asks you if want the good news or the better news. Up until my doctor appointment today, I’ve been sitting on a month of stress fearing my whole career might be over and I would never draw without pain again. I would wake up and the fingers in my drawing-hand would be stiff and the ring finger felt stuck and hurt when I would try to bend it.
Turns out, it’s called Trigger Finger and it was solved with a single steroid injection into the palm near the offending finger. So thankful I can keep on drawing and doing what gives me life.
