For the last couple of weeks I have been getting pains in my arm when it is in certain positions. For example, it hurts so much to lift the kettle I have to use my left hand for that.
Although my colleagues at work very helpfully diagnosed wanker’s cramp I decided to try a second opinion from my doctor, who said it was tennis elbow. The good news is that it will go away all by itself in time – maybe 6 to 8 weeks. The bad news is that you can’t really do much except wait for it to go away by itself.
He doesn’t think it is caused by, or exacerbated by computer use (so no sicknote then!) but I reckon it can’t help, so I am seriously cutting back on my typing and mousing. On good days I will still inflict my opinions on the world here, but not in such large portions as before.
