Hey man sorry about the stuff you are going through... that sucks >.< I have a lot of neck/head/arm/wrist/hand pain too, basically every day and same as with you, nobody can find out what it is (yet). I only know that I have carpal tunnel for 2 years already, I got send to a psychosomatic therapist and found out that for me it is also a lot of stress signs, not that I am really stressed, but I always put a lot of tension on my shoulders while doing normal activities and after a while i just collapse from the pain if I don't do anything about it. I'm already in the last state of this crap lol. First all signs werent really visible, but after a while i couldnt feel anything in my fingers and stuff, and now my wrist and neck are inflamed :/ You just got to take a lot of breaks and try to relax in between the activities you always do. Try to become calm and relaxed again for 15 minutes, lie down on your bed, let everything go, and then draw for 15/20 min again. It sucks cause you can't do long drawing sessions but maybe it helps for you. :) Like you said '' i gotta find zen '' yes... thats true XD if you take these breaks and just lie down, you will know when your body really starts to hurt, and after a while you can prevent it from happening. But yeah if you don't believe in this you shouldn't try it out, at least thats what I think. what also helped for me was taking various hot and cold showers for the muscles and also warmth is great for them... sunlight and water are really a miracle. So if theres sun outside and it is warm, just spend the day outside drawing :D Try putting on tigerbalm instead of biofreeze. You need to keep it all warm and comfy. Biofreeze didn't really help for me. Swimming is good too, it makes your neck/back/ and arm muscles stronger. But then again, these are only tips, not sure if it is working or not, but it helped for me. I still have pain every day but it is not as bad anymore. Oh yeah I was also send to a normal therapist. She put her fingers right in those muscles that hurt to release endorphin if I remember correctly... hurts like hell, but it feels better for a few days after doing a few sessions :) Hope you'll feel better soon though!!
