    Repetitive Strain Injury
    I think I have RSI in my wrist from writing, and I have a 2hour15 English Language exam on Tuesday. What do I do?! :/

    I always take ibuprofen an hour or so before an essay based exam.

    Are we sure it is a writing injury?

    But that is definitely the story that you should tell your parents / doctor...


    on a serious note, even though someone said peas and ibuprofen I just want to echo that, it really does help.

    Pretty sure, since I got it when we had mocks, and I had three written exams last week, and in one of them I wrote 8 pages in 90 minutes :/
