Does you hand hurt when you write?

[CareyFairy]

I type all the time these days and have rarely written anything but a quick note for years.

Recently I had a need to start writing again and after about 5 mins my hand cramps up and aches really badly and I have to stop and rest it.
I hadn't considered that I was writing so little and now am shocked that my wrist is so out of shape.

Am I the only one? Can't believe I've got so out of practice.

Mine does and I write quite a lot every day. I find using a chunky pen helps

Try using a fountain pen. For some reason it doesn’t make my hand ache like a ballpoint.

Yes I totally have this and I assume it’s just because I don’t write anymore. No idea how I used to write essays at school
