Here is a picture of my arm in case you haven't got a closer look. The story began 2 years ago when I worked at my previous company. My work station was not exactly ergonomic so at the end I insured my wrist. The injury was so great that for months I couldn't move my wrist, fingers AT ALL. It was literally paralyzed. After 2 months of physiotherapy without success and over $300 spent, I turned to acupuncture. It took another 2 months before my wrist started to become functional again. By the time I could use it to drive and eat half a year had already passed by.
Since then my right arm had always been weak but pain had subsided. I tried to exercise it whenever I can but still it showed exhaustion very frequently. 2 weeks ago I was half asleep trying to complete some on going projects before lunch at work. By accident I didn't place the heavy duty 3 hole puncher safely on the desk before pressing on it. It felt hard on my wrist along with the strength I exerted supposedly to punch holes on the document. After this incident my wrist started to hurt almost everyday again. I was hoping with enough rest it would heal eventually. However just yesterday I injured it again. While driving to work few cars in front of me stopped abruptly. To avoid collision I had to do a quick turn on the wheel to go on the shoulder lane. That quick movement was proved to be too much for my already injured arm. At that point I knew I had to go see a doctor again. This time I decided to visit a massage therapist, the chinese type.
Hopefully my wrist will heal quickly. I can't afford to be armless again for yet another summer. It would be a shame if I can't hand pick my own crops!!! >__<

Dear Sister,
I know how painful it is to have that sorta injury. You should be extra conscious of what you are doing when dealing with your right hand. Also need to be careful while driving. Hope you get better soon.
