Wrist Pain and Trying to Adjust

  • An important video. A lot of changes. Wish I had more to say but this is all I have for now. It's not a goodbye, mind you. Not at all. Just a... considerably huge bump in the road.
    If you wanna help make videos happen sooner, / piemations
    There's that, and SUPER appreciated. And for a little extra context, Patreon funds are indeed ONLY for making videos, not for me, and if there's nothing to use it for at the moment, it is saved in a dedicated bank account until it has a video to be used on. That's how the FNaF video could be afforded and a number of previous videos. This is probably how Here in the Village will be made too

    Repetitive strain injuries are a serious thing to be wary of, folks. Take care of yourselves, and if you ever feel an RSI developing in your wrists/arms, don't ignore it. Pull back from what's causing the pain immediately. Take care, Piemations :< Your cartoons are amazing, but your health is more important.

    I wish we were taught better as artists about what to do to avoid health problems down the line. I thought I was invincible against the back, wrist, head pain until I got older. Now it ****ing sucks. Especially when drawing/entertainment is your job and not something you do just for fun.
    That said, animating anything for Piemations is seriously such an honor. The comedy is just so good, and Mike is legit amazing to work with. ⭐

    It has been an honor and a pleasure to work with you over these years, Mike. Getting to be the voice of Todd Hayseed as part of your Sheriff Hayseed animated series has been so much fun. I'm terribly sad to see that it's finally coming to an end though I'll always pride myself on what we managed to accomplish together. Without you, I doubt I ever would have made it as far along as I have, having you as a friend has been great, and I hope there comes a time again when you're able to make more leaps and bounds with your work. When that time comes I'll be happy to offer my voice to you again as I always have. Thank you and good luck with recovery!

I don't work on people anymore but I still practice on myself and my GF, she asks me too. I'll be praying for ya, and if you don't believe just know I mean well...

    I'm in my late 20s and I have hand/wrist problems that I've been told will persist my whole life and I just have to life with it. As an artist and a crafter, I understand how much of a bummer this is for the future.
    I hope you recover well. One thing I learned was definitely work slower and take breaks or stop when you begin to feel pain again. Not being the speed you used to be definitely can suck, but it's something that can be managed and worked around! You just have to figure out what works for you!
    It's good to hear though, that you don't plan on giving up! When you're ready, keep creating. Get better! ✌️✨️

  • @julianspatter
    @julianspatter 6 місяців тому +399

    I think the best way to keep Sheriff Hayseed going is to try and workshop it around with various animators/animation teams and see if someone want to help out with it. With the current rise in indie animation on youtube, I don't think it's unreasonable to hope that someone likes your ideas enough to want to help you make them come to fruition, especially since you've been around the animation scene for a long time and are well known.

    Definitely take care of yourself before your work - it doesn’t exist without you!
    If you haven’t already looked into such things, there are a number of alternative input devices to help prevent RSIs - vertical mice, trackballs, foot mice [yes really], tablets - switching up your input devices, using ones designed to better work with the anatomy of the hand/arm, and continuing physical therapy and exercises can all help you get back towards your previous pain without, y’know… destroying your wrists.
    Hope you get relief soon!

    Awh, I’m so sorry to hear this, Pie. Repetitive strain injuries SUUUCK.
    This is my third year living with tendinitis in mostly my right hand and wrist. Thankfully, it’s at a point where I can draw almost every day without pain (my wrist are just forever clicky now lol) just not for as long as I used to. You will be back up and animating again without pain, I promise you.
    The first year living with tendinitis was definitely the worst, but it’s all just normal now and bad pain only flares up rarely-that’s what I know I need to take a break lol
    Definitely consider working out your arms and back muscles so you can support that wrist! Also stretching and taking small breaks is very important. Wishing you a fast healing!

    i just spent the entirety of my past semester of an art degree with tendinitis in my wrists/arms, so to say this video is relatable would be. an understatement lol. i 100% understand and empathize with the feelings you've expressed, and i know it must have been really stressful and mentally taxing to not only recover, but to consider your future options. it's definitely sad to hear about the projects that won't continue, but like many others are commenting, your health comes first and we would much rather you work in the way you need to than have you hurt yourself further. best of luck, and i'm excited for what the future holds for your channel, regardless of what that future looks like!

You've been an inspiration to me ever since your FNAF and TF2 animations. Take a break for as long as you need to and I hope you feel better soon Mike.

    I’ve had hand/wrist pain for the past year and it is so hard. Some days I can’t move my wrist at all because of the pain, and sometimes I drop things at work because my hands just give in or it hurts so bad. I can’t even do some of the things I could before. Sadly all I have is my braces.
    Take care of yourself Piemations

    I’ve watched you for years, to hear you have to go through this made me genuinely upset, you have a personality behind the art that others can’t replicate, and I really hope you can still animate after this, or at least live a functioning life with your situation. I wish you luck and thank you for what you’ve done, in a way you’ve made my childhood, I couldn’t thank you enough for that.

Take care and be sure not to push yourself TOO hard. You, your team, and your friends are all amazing and we appreciate all the fun and laughs, here's hoping for lots more to come, no matter the pace.

    Hey everyone, please make sure to exercise and take breaks. wrist pain is debilitating. Drawing should be a comfortable and relaxing experience.
    Piemation, please take care of your health. Do not stress your body, if you are unkind to it, it will break.
    Recovery is a long process. I had a mental break down two years ago and I'm still recovering.
    Your fans are more interested in your health and well being than anything you make.

      The only thing you can do is to absolutely not use your wrists for any work .
      It won't go away with medication.
      It needs rest for a long long time to get better

      Has any of those docs put your wrists through an MRI? Might want to push for that if it hasn't been done yet.

    • @NinoJoel
      @NinoJoel 6 місяців тому

      @@Gornemant The problem (if it is the same as mine ) Is not physicall in a sense of broken bones or similar physical damage. The muscles simply can't handle being overused / strained at the same posture for long periods of time.
      They will start to hurt chronically if you do it over and over again.
      It starts with an uneasy wrist feeling and will gradually become worse till it hurts like you bent your wrist in the wrong direction.
      It sometimes burns a bit as well.
      That problem can occure if you overwork your wrist with manual labor or heavy machinery that vibrates.
      Alternatively you can get that problem if you strain your wrist for long periods at similar postures like drawing or working in an office / gaming far to long.
      Sorry for the weird use of medical terms.
      English is not my first language.

    I went through the same experience about a year ago. I’m not an artist, but a musician. It’s terrifying thinking about what might happen if you lose the ability to do what you love. I still experience pain occasionally, but it’s not an all the time thing, and it’s not nearly as bad when it does flare up. I still sleep with the braces though. My advice is don’t get into your head too much. Things will get better, and dealing with a declining mental health isn’t something you deserve to go through along with the physical pain. I’m rooting for ya man!

    If you haven't already, I highly suggest looking into ergonomic mice and keyboards. I was starting to get wrist pain that made working on computers very, very difficult. I found switching to a vertical mouse and ergonomic keyboard really helped. A wrist rest and better body positioning helped drastically too. Even small changes can really have a big impact when you are in pain.

    You are one of my absolute favorite content creators out there. As a content creator and (very wonderful and amazing) artist it can be demanding physically and mentally and I'm more aware of that thanks to the video above. I'll say as your viewer and follower, take as much time as you need or want. This is just my opinion but, you're a person I care about and look forward to seeing their next works, I don't want to put anymore pressure on you and I can be patient. Especially for serious matters such as this. No matter how long it takes, take the time you need. You're awesome
