Yasmin, Thank you for the advice. I went to a CMT yesterday and it did help. My forearm feels bruised though. I had some pretty big knots in them and she concentrated on those spots maybe to much.I feel so much better having 4 days to rest my arms. I am going to check into the chiropractor. I have to do something. I just love doing nails and can't think of doing anything else. Did you have to do exercises at home too? I tried to download an article from Nails Mag. about things you can do, but I guess I did something wrong. Can't find it or don't know where to look for it in my computer. Angie Wingerter

Everybody wants in on that Mon, Tue, or Wed. By Wed I am so done doing nails. It seems that everyone breaks nails right before holidays. They can go all year without breaking a nail, but when I don't have time to go to the bathroom or eat lunch is when they are going to call wanting a nail fixed. The nicest clients can get so demanding around the holidays. I really hate to see the holidays come. I am a scroodge I know. I should be grateful for the business. I love doing nails except at the holidays. If I were a client who wore nails all year I certainly would want them to look the best at holidays so I do understand. It just sucks for us the nailtech, who can only do so much in one day. On Wed it even hurt to take polish off. My wrists are burning in the center and numb around the perimeter. My fingers are swollen and stiff. My calluses are sore on my fingers. It hurts to hold my nippers and my drill. I have little knots on my arms between my wrists and elbow. I have shooting pains going up my arms. I don't know how to prevent getting your wrists in this kind of shape. For all of you nailtechs that are not yet here, do yourself a favor and find out how to protect your hands and wrists.
