What is going on....

I am old, that is the problem. They time of painless days and nights are over. well they have been over for awhile. It seems each day another pain just takes over where the last one stopped.
This week it is my wrist. I did not "do" anything to it. Just over use from being on my computer a lot in a not very ergonomically correct position. I don't use a mouse, I have a laptop. Plus my laptop is raised a bit because I have one of those fans under it so it doesn't over heat etc... It makes a big difference on how my wrist is angled.
This is going to sound so stupid by really we take our wrists from granted. You don't realize how much you use it for everything (especially when it is on your dominant side). Depending on the angle of my wrist it effects my grip as well, I am just waiting for the point where I start dropping things.
It is not that I am a wimp. I mean in the scheme of things it is only a one (barely) on the pain scale. However it is annoying as hell, not to mention constant.
Hopefully, it settles down soon.

Well, I'm 36 and I've been having aches and pains since college, but arthritis and fibromyalgia run in my family.
I'm used to the pain, but the hard part now is it seems to last longer and it's harder to push past it and just do my thing. It kicks my butt now.
