Phantom pain? How hard did you put your elbows on the table that they had to be amputated?

I had cubital tunnel syndrome from leaning on my elbow against my desk. I just braced my arm so it would stay straight and slept on my side a while, and the pain went away after a week or so.

No; I just rest my forearms on the desk in an attempt to sit straight and improve my shitty posture.

I do get elbow pain though when I sleep too long on my arm. I like to tuck them under my pillow and apparently sleep right on my elbow.

An extensive series of tests has shown that the graphics card in my new PC is too heavy to function properly while the PC is upright without additional support at the far end. Rather than fight with the manufacturer, I have decided to let it run on it's side until I make a bracket for it.

You're welcome. You're the one who was all "Oh delias is so stingy with his facebook friend requests". Now you know why.

I really can't believe he is able to cope.

Nah, when it's painful, it's more like your pinky and ring finger and side of your arm down to your elbow go dead numb. But when it isn't acting up as much it feels like a tickle with nowhere to scratch... UNTIL MY NINJA SWORD ARRIVES?

Yeah, I'm probably going to let it get to diagnosable-to-a-5-year-old when I actually do something about it.

I'm the guy to the right of the computer monkey man.

Just for Stef.

It is a constant battle not to buy practically everything found under "otter" on etsy.com. They have an oil painting of Rembrandt's wife as an otter, for fuck's sake. That could be on my wall.
