Suggestions on what to use while writing?
I suspect I have carpal tunnel in both wrists. My wrists and fingers are pretty weak, and begin hurting pretty badly when doing pretty much anything that requires consistent strength/repetition.
I had a brace for a while, but found it very difficult to use when handwriting. I’m a student, and when studying for exams I handwrite all of my notes to create a study guide. It’s the only effective way I’ve found to get my ADHD brain to remember anything. When studying, I don’t have time to take long breaks every time my wrist pain gets too bad to write. It usually takes 5+ minutes for them to feel better, and only about 10 minutes to get bad again.
I have one of the basic braces, and I find it very difficult to maneuver in to effectively write. My fingers are too far away from the page and I’m not able to grip the pencil well enough. Right now, I make diy hand grips on all of my pens and pencils using medical tape and bandaids so I don’t have to grip it as tight.
I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on how to go about this?
