If you have a salon or spa or wellness center that offers hot wax hand treatments, they are well worth the small cost. Then heat really helps hand pain and stiffness and it also helps relieve super dry hands in winter.
Take good care of your tools. Have it checked and have some peace of mind. Plus learning to draw with a temporary wrist brace might be fun and inspirational.
Seems to be a case of what’s known as “writer’s cramp,” except in Amanda’s case, it might be “cartoonist’s cramp”. No, I’m not trying to make light of this.

Wow . . . some people become acerbic when in pain.

Symmetry is an illusion, swelling is not. Dominant hand pain is awful.
