Minor Injury
It's been a week now that I've been feeling some pain in my forearm just above my right wrist. It's a very odd thing too. There's a small bulge in that spot and it feels like a bruise. The more I use my right hand throughout the day, the more it hurts. For several days, it wasn't that bad. I could do stuff and it just felt like a bruise that wouldn't go away. But the last couple of days after I come home, that's when it starts to get painful. So I've started wearing a wrist/forearm brace. It seems to be helping since it hurts when my hand rotates at the wrist. Wearing it keeps my wrist straight and there's much less pain. I was even able to get through both my karate classes today without much problem. Though it's kind of interesting since I have to use my left hand a bit more. Makes me realize just how uncoordinated I can be. Ha!
I'm not sure what's wrong with my arm. I suspect that I overdid it during the Iaido seminar since it started hurting the day we got back. I thought maybe I had carpel tunnel syndrome, but now I think it's more like what my dad had. Something weird happened to him years ago when he was playing lots of golf. His bicep muscle somehow became detached at the point near his elbow. When he bent his arm, (prepare yourself--this is kind of gross) you could see the bicep muscle contract and bulge way at the top of his arm, out of place. I'm not sure how he fixed that problem--I should call him and ask. But I'm planning on seeing Dr. Jay about this as soon as I can get in. At least the muscle I'm dealing with is a smaller one. For now, it's ok as long as I use the brace. I'll update you guys once I find out what's wrong.
