My Fingers Hurt From Typing

I am a mid thirty-ish guy who has arthritis in his fingers. Yep, kinda young but I’ve had it for years.

Typing is one of those activities that I enjoy (because I enjoy writing) but which really makes life difficult to enjoy (because it hurts like the dickens sometimes).

So I ask you, what is a guy supposed to do? There are only so many drugs you can take before you start to feel like you ought to be turning tricks on a street corner somewhere. And at the same time I can’t give up typing. (Who would update the blog?)

Should I just give in and call myself a junkie – do what it takes to stop the pain?

Or should I just push through it like Rocky Balboa?
