Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tendinitis, and Repeated Strain Injuries are problems that all artists are more susceptible of facing at some point in (or continually through) their lives.
I'll admit that I wouldn't be writing this, if not because two days ago I started noticing mild discomfort in my drawing hand, which stopped me from working on some pixelart. Thankfully, it's been subsiding, but it's a reminder (or warning) of how I should take care of my wrists.
To be honest, I first started this topic expecting the opinion of a little someone called Arne Niklas Jansson, because I learned of his coping with RSI one or two years ago, while browsing through his wonderful website. I thought that someone with over 10 years of experience would have enough experience about dealing with these things.

But if I only wanted his opinion, I'd have sent him a PM! (and hope he answered

) Instead, as this is something of interest to all artists, including the ones that frequent these forums, I'd like everyone to detail their own experiences with these bothersome maladies. That way, maybe everyone will learn a thing or two about their prevention and treatment

Here are some questions, as a guideline:
When did it happen? What were the symptoms, and how bad were they? How long did it last?
What did you do to treat it? Do you do something for prevention, and if so, what?
