Earlier this week, I woke up with a pain in my thumb. I can not move it the way I used to. I suspect it is because of my poor working habits. Working online means I have to use the computer a lot. It is easier compared to physical labor since all I have to do is type with my fingers and click the mouse. But overdoing it can be bad and now I am suffering the consequence.

So now I am limiting the use of my right hand. As a temporary remedy I made a makeshift hand splint to restrict its movement. Now I wonder if I can apply for social security disability or some sort of compensation because my present situation limits me in a lot of ways. On second thought maybe not. I am still thankful I can use my other hand but if the pain does not go away in a few days I will be going to my doctor.
