I’m unhappy to report that I’m starting to get low-level pain in my right index finger when I part #LEGO assemblies or use the Switch Joy-Con controller for too long.

This sign of aging doesn’t bode well for either activities as I’m not sure I can do anything about it except limit my time.

It might be the beginnings of arthritis. I started getting this - especially from typing on the computer which I need to do for my job. My doctor suggested I take Osteo Bi-Flex and the pain has mostly gone away. I still get it from time to time, but it's gone from multiple times a day to once or twice a week and from completely debilitating to merely annoying.

I'm not saying this will help you, but see a doctor. They might be able to help you with it. (Aging stinks.)
@TechyDad Thanks, I was actually thinking about a beginning of arthritis, but so far it hasn't felt debilitating enough to go through the social pain of contacting my doctor. Your reply confirms I might just suck it up and do it.

@♻ Citoyen Candide ☮ I’m not sure it’s relevant, but I’d still rather eat bread and reduce my fine motor skill activities than the opposite.
