Blast my wrists...

So, first of all, I love to crochet. I. LOVE. CROCHET. It's so much fun, and I love actually having something at the end of all my work that I can use! The problem is...my wrists.

Apparently I crocheted so much during the past summer that I injured my wrists. Both of them! Being on the computer much of the time didn't help. So now, I find that if I crochet for more than 30 minutes at a time and if I don't take breaks (as in at least a day in between), then one or both of my wrists start giving me havoc. So much PAIN!

Needless to say, this is happening at the moment. Currently my left wrist refuses to do anything but ache horribly especially if I happen to do anything like pick up my crochet hook. "But you're right-handed!" I hear you say. "Why is your LEFT wrist hurting?"

Believe me, I have no idea, but it's bad. I really want this to stop. One, because pain is not fun. Two, I want to go back to making things!

I'm worried that I'll develop severe arthritis, or carpal tunnel, or some other really bad condition in my wrists, and I'm only 20! This isn't good at all! It makes me want to do something like *headwall* repeatedly.
