So I’m realizing that while I let the carpal tunnel progress unchecked under some vague sense it was part of my personality shift, some of my muscles atropied and I can’t do exercises that I could before

But it’s not like my main motive muscles are down to 60%, it’s that auxiliary muscles that stabilize them and connect to allow transmission of force are binary failing

So I try to do an exercise, fail, struggle at it a bit, then like from 6-48 hours later am incredibly sore because that struggle was its only exercise in months, after which it’s somewhat functional again
