Does Writing Hurt Your Hands too?

Posted on February 13, 2006May 4, 2017

It figures that after posting about how my hands were doing pretty well, I’d start having some flare-ups. 😉  Interestingly, it seems to have been from writing rather than typing or mouse-clicking though.  For a couple weeks, I was doing a lot of writing on a project, and my hands began to ache a bit, especially around the knuckles of my right hand (which makes sense, since I write with that hand).  I’ve backed off and my hands have been feeling better again.  I will probably switch back to the computer and fire up the voice recognition program to finish the project.

Has anybody else had RSI or Carpal Tunnel issues from writing?  (I’m sure the extensive hours of keyboarding produced my original issues, but I suppose now I’ll have to be careful, because it seems that other tiny precise motions with the fingers/hands can aggravate things too).
