Wrist brace makes pain worse

I'm an artist and I deal with relatively frequent wrist pain. I often draw for upwards of 5 hours a day. I usually don't feel the pain when I'm not drawing but it becomes prominent when I start. I've tried multiple different braces and compression gloves, since that's the most common solution suggested online, but every time they make the pain ten times worse and it spreads up my whole arm. I'm completely stumped on why that is, and can't find anything about others having quite the same issue. I try to rest it when I can but going very long without drawing is really hard for me mentally. I'm not sure what to do. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?

New listener looking for recommendations

I've just been getting into listening to audio dramas and podcasts recently. I'm an artist and they're fantastic to put on while I work, so I'm looking for more! So far I've listened to The Magnus Archives and Malevolent. I quite liked both. I'm down for any genre but I prefer darker stories with some mystery to them, and lighthearted or comedy focused stuff isn't usually for me. My only real requirement is that there's an involved overarching story with characters I can get invested in.

I've been googling and I've seen plenty of recommendation posts, but there's so much out there I'm just not quite sure where to start, so I thought I'd ask to see if anyone has recommendations for someone newer to the medium!
