My Pinky Hurts

[Venerable 2,967]

I was lying on my bed, trying to sleep, and I regret to say that I instinctively reached out to grab my phone from the table beside my bed.

What happened next was a neat little routine: WhatsApp -> Discord -> Chrome -> the EN Forum. After going through a couple of profiles, I came here, to the Writers' Corner.

The Writers'Corner — what a beautiful corner, isn't it? As I skimmed through a few recent works posted here, I had this thought: what if I tried writing a short story in ten minutes?

Eight minutes came and went. Cranking out a story within minutes is not something to be taken lightly. And the infamous "writer's block" doesn't help.

Ten minutes passed since that weird thought crossed my mind. I hadn't even thought of a plot yet. But this — what I'd written (or typed) so far — reminded me of Lose's piece, "What should I name this?"

Well, unlike Lose, I did know what to name this: "My Pinky Hurts" (because my pinky finger has been supporting my phone all this while. I do not recommend typing while holding your phone up in a sleeping position).

 

NOTE: There's no one to regulate what gets posted in this section now, so I'll just post this without worrying about anything.

RSI (Repetitive strain injury) is a term sometimes used for pain caused by repeated movement of part of the body. It often gets better on its own, but there are things you can do to help speed up your recovery. You can get RSI in many parts of the body, but it most often affects the shoulders, elbows, forearms and wrists, hands and fingers, and pinky. The symptoms usually start gradually and can include: pain, which may feel like burning, aching or throbbing, stiffness and weakness, tingling, pins-and-needles or numbness, muscle cramps, swelling, and pinky. 

RSI is caused by repeated use of a body part, such as your shoulder, elbow, forearm, wrist or hand, and pinky. For example, you can get RSI if you do repetitive activities, you play sports that involve lots of repetitive movements, you have poor posture when sitting or standing at work, or you use hand-held power tools regularly, or pinky. Repetitive or strenuous work does not always cause RSI. Many people do the same job for years without having a problem or without a pinky. 

If you experience signs of RSI, try to improve your work/study pattern and conditions. In urgent cases, contact your GP or pinky.
