Break Week Swap
For reasons I genuinely do not understand, my arm is suddenly in a lot of pain, and I've been struggling a bit this week for other reasons up until this point anyway, so I'm just going to swap my break week from next week to this week. I need some time to heal from whatever the heck messed up my tendon again. :/
Apologies for the short notice, see you all next week.

No problem, have a speedy recovery.
Get well soon! You personal health is way more important than your writing
I won't presume to know what issues you are having but I would like to share my experience with similar ones. I've had tendon pains from over use in my hands, wrists and forearms for most of my life stemming from a combination of too much typing, gaming and lifting weights. It took me a long, long time to finally give in and give my self the time I needed to recover. I waited so long that my recovery period was obnoxious, almost six months for them to heal. After that I needed to slowly rehab with light strengthening and stretching routines. As I am now I am basically pain free, I feel soreness come back from time to time but not pain, and that is the signal to take another break. All this to say, if this is a recurring thing for you, you may need more than the odd week off here and there to fully heal whatever is causing you pain and if that is the case I would highly recommend taking that time to rest and recover and seeing a specialist during that time for consultation. Tendon injuries typically take a minimum of 2 weeks to heal and as long as 6 weeks. Severe injuries can take significantly longer.
yeowch, hope you get better!!!
Omg that's awful. Hope you can get it the rest it needs!
Hope your arm feels better soon
take the time you need yes, health comes first!
Get well soon!
Hope you feel better!
I think I remember you having arm pain awhile back, and using speech-to-text. Or maybe that was another author… either way, have you considered getting a proper ergonomic keyboard? RSI could be the cause. I can recommend a couple if you’re interested.
RSI is definitely a problem I struggle with! I have an ergonomic keyboard and I do my stretches regularly but the pain never seems to let up. My current pain is arm-wide and much more intense than my usual RSI fare, though, to the point that I don't think I can focus on work. Depending on how long this lasts, I might go see a doctor. I wouldn't say no to better keyboard recommendations, though, since mine doesn't really seem that effective.
Sorry to hear it. Take all the time you need.
Rest up. Dont want to make it worse!
Get well soon :3
Take as much time as you need, we will all still be here :)
No worries, and I hope everything's alright
