Well... Fuck.

[INCOMING TRANSMISSION...]
It's been about a month.
I've tried taking my break.
The moment I started drawing again, I lasted 10 minutes. Shoulder pain, located directly behind my back / right shoulder blade. Definitely feels like muscle tension / strain of some kind.
Went to the doctor. Got X-Rays. Haven't heard back. Called today, they said it'd be late this week that I hear anything.
Cool.
Running basically empty on funds due to rent, food, fixing things, car insurance, car tags, everything else in between.
I've been trying to stream games, some kind of entertainment, trying to do literally anything to rest so I could get back to work.
Nobody really comes to those.
I just want to fucking draw. But I can't. I have one niche, and I can't seem to fucking fill it.
I suppose it's my own fault anyway for working through 10+ years of constant moving / abuse / nonstop work to get anything fucking paid / supporting others before myself even at my own detriment.
I'm anxious, I'm frustrated, and I don't know what to do, if I'm honest.
I mean -- At least the arm feels like it's -somewhat- improving.

If you'd like to support me while I'm still apparently healing, please poke and send donations to my paypal at Spazman's Den .
Thank you all for the support so far, for the record. I do really appreciate it -- I just wish I were back to normal sooner rather than later.

It won't be the best, but maybe it could help?
All the best for you though. I can't imagine the pain it must be like.
I did see a journal (or tweet?) for your game stream one time recently but I was too late to check it out x.x
Anyway, I've sent some moolah your way, ain't much but hope it helps ya, man! Take care and hope you recover soon!!

The physical therapists in this video have helped me with a lot of aches and pains from work injuries. I HIGHLY recommend thoroughly looking into the possibility of stretches AND self massages.
Rest alone is often not enough.
Hopefully what you got is that. It takes time to heal, which sucks, but it can heal.
