Arm and chest pain, way I'm using left hand to work.
Hello guys I'm having a weird pain in my left arm and chest, I haven't go to the doctor because I don't have health insurance right now. I'm not sure if this is because the way I'm using my left arm with the keyboard while working (I'm right handed), you know, most 3d and 2d software use ctrl+z, ctrl+alt, wasd, etc... I've… -

I had similar pain in my left arm/chest. It was a pinched nerve due to an inflamed disc. Go see a doctor though. Seriously, the internet is not a replacement for a Doctor. -

Pain in your left arm? Sounds like a heart attack to me. But seriously, go to a doctor. This sounds pretty serious if you`re getting chest pains. -

Maybe try seeing a physiotherapist as well as a general practitioner. I came from an unrelated blue collar job of 8 years and for the last 4 years I have been sitting on a computer most of the day and it took it's toll on my body.

I live in Canada (home of the free universal health care) but I'm… -

Thank you guys Yea I agree Internet is not a replacement for a Doctor, but I wanted to know if it was common for cg artists since some of us don't get too serious about ergonomics while working until we start to get hurt. @MagicSugar : I did not knew that about Canada, that's awesome. Thanks for the help. -

Don't google what is wrong with you. It will just tell you that you're dying. Make sure to stretch before an art session and take a lot of breaks in between. If it continues maybe go to a free clinic. I'm not sure how health care works anywhere outside of Canada. sorry -

This also sounds a bit like a heart-related issue. You should definitely seek some treatment. Better safe than sorry. What's a few dollars vs. possible death or stroke? Worth paying for IMHO.
