Palm

-
Perhaps I spoke too soon here.

Recently, the lower part of my hand, below my elbow, was in pain right up to the base of my palm. After talking to my sister and researching on the internet, I suspected the wrist rest as the culprit. Combined with some changes to the chair I was using as well as position of laptop and mouse, the pain was gone...

...except for 3 spots (depicted as "1"s in the photo below) right above the wrist. I then thought maybe it was the way I held my mouse. So now, instead of the base of my palm resting on the lower part of the mouse, it is now off the mouse and lightly on the mousepad. Also, I cut down on the amount of time I spent on my laptop, especially the usage of the mouse.


Now the 3 spots are only slightly painful but replaced by sourish pain towards the middle of the palm (depicted as "2" in the photo below).

Hmmm what's going on here?

I use the touch pad. No problems so far.

William,
I'll try using touch pad (likely a little difficult to play games). However, many people use mouse without problems leh.

I think you just need time for your hand to heal from the use of the wrist rest.

I don't really believe that the table height or whatever is the culprit as you've been using that for months without issue. Just let your wrist and right hand rest from its 'traumatic experience'. Once its okay, then start using the mouse as normal. If the pain doesn't come back, you're fine again.

Try not to seek immediate cures, remember?

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba

Sudden lower body pain

-
About two weeks ago, my mum developed pain in her pelvic bone, much more on the right side, and squeezing pain in her legs, with occassional spike in pain. She was managing it with paracetamols, 2 tabs three times daily.  Since we didn't know any particular orthopedist in private hospitals (it was only recently that I remember Dr Prashant ), I targeted one at KPJ Penang Specialist Hospital since it's in mainland Penang (instead of on the island). I made appointment for my mum with Dr Joehaimey since he has the earliest suitable date. The moment she walked through his door, he immediately asked her whether the pain from her right side. We were both quite impressed. He was in turn impressed with mum's prepared list of medication that she presented to him on a piece of paper. The key information seems to be the surgery she had back in 2011 to insert titanium plate and screws in her lower spine. He guessed that there's accumalated wear and tear due to aging. So to confirm i
