embarrassing

I've had right thumb pain for awhile.

I know why but it's embarrassing to say.

It's from channel flipping with the cable remote AND using my iPod Touch on a near constant basis when I'm at home.

I use the thumb when I'm typing at work all day, but like right now as I type this it doesn't hurt. It's when I'm using the remote control that the pain hits.

Advil. Aleve. (whatever generic is available at Target) and I know that I need to rest the thumb, but I'm a chronic channel flipper. If there is a commercial on the channel I'm watching, I automatically start flipping around looking for something else.
