You have some nerve

I am in a little bit of a rough place at the moment. My entire life I have done things that require manual dexterity (juggling, balloon twisting, slight of hand, building and painting models, playing banjo/ukulele, crochet, making puppets). There are probably more than I am remembering, but here is the problem.

My right hand (aka my good hand) has some sort of weird nerve thing happening on the pointer and middle finger. This basically means that most of the time it is fine but can hurt if I move it in a certain way. But if I am feeling lucky it will randomly feel like someone is smashing my fingers with a hammer. My doc has me wearing a wrist brace during the day (since it doesn’t seem to happen at night) which limits my range of movement and makes my hobbies hard to do.

And since that can’t just solve the problem, I have started getting pain when I attempt to do the basics of all of my hobbies. They don’t think it is carpel tunnel because none of the other markers are there for it. Basically I get to have a super fun nerve test in a couple of months. Until then I can write, which I have been doing, and play video games. But I feel like I am going crazy because I want to do all the things I love to do.

I tried a little bit of mini painting yesterday and have angry fingers today. I am thinking about trying to paint left handed but I think that might just make me more frustrated.

Anyone have any good hobbies that only need your non-dominant hand that you can do while watching movies?
