Fourteenth session for thumb/wrist

-

Nearly 4 weeks after the surprise consult with the therapist, I decided to make an appointment to formally consult him. I told him that:

  • there didn't seem any more discernible improvement.
  • sometimes the pain was absent and other times it flared up, throughout the day.
  • there didn't seem to be any more pain right at the wrist but solely around the base of the thumb.
  • I no longer wake up with pain.

He surmised that the remaining pain was due to

(a) me using the phone more. I told him that because he advised me to take regular breaks from using the keyboard and mouse, I shifted to the phone to read news and webnovels. Seems that he was more concerned about typing on keyboard and so I now can resume reading those on the laptop,

and/or

(b) the increased in the second exercise. 

Once again, he massaged the hand, arm and especially the base of the thumb and regularly asked me to test the pain. He stopped once I felt more no pain. I am amazed each time that happened :)

I'm to increase the first exercise to four sets of 15, 13, 12 and 10 and reduce the second exercise back to 15. I'm to monitor the outcome for two weeks and consult him if needed.

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...
