Really? Wrist braces again?

sinisterporpoise I'll have to admit I was slightly skeptical of being told my finger and hand problems were from arthritis. I also developed some pain in the same wrist where I had a TFCC tear in 2016. I was thinking an RSI was more likely before damage to the hands, especially in someone who has EDS or as far as the rheumatologist is concerned, ligament laxity. (I don't care if she believes the diagnosis or not as long as her treatment is working. I also need her to keep me grounded.)
However, she said there was some tendonitis in the wrist again most likely and I should wear the wrist braces for a little while. After last year, I have to admit, I have an impressive collection of braces for my left wrist, and one or two for my right wrist, which suffered a hook of hamate fracture. (Unsurprisingly, even my doctors have seem to have gotten confused about what happened to each wrist last year.)
I think I should just start collecting braces for as many joints as possible. It'll be easier. Speaking of which, my tennis elbow brace seems to be misssing.
Okay, I'm done complaining. In lighter news, I got something I wanted for a long time, and I can't wait to do some target shooting with it. A recurve crossbow. (It was a small amount from student refunds. I plan on selling retro gaming kits built from Raspberry Pi Zeros to start making money. I was considering cryptocurrency mining for a while, but I think the analysts thinking that the bubble might have burst on that are correct. The market will take some time to recover. Plus, well, I like the idea of working with computers more anyway. I wish I were craftier.
