does anyone else get this? when I write fast, my wrist aches and it prevents me from writing fast, its like my hand cant keep up with how fast i need to write. what is this and how can i prevent this or treat it? has anyone else had this?! please help!

Answer:

I get this all the time. It's because your wrist is in a unnatural position. that i know you can't really prevent it. sorry.

you may have arthritis

Sleep with a wrist guard.........

It might be a repetitive use injury, something like carpal tunnel syndrome. If you write a lot, you tend to use the same muscles and tendons over and over, and the stress causes them to become inflamed. The treatment may be some combination of frequent breaks, stretching exercises, proper posture, a brace or wrist wrap, and a different pencil or pen.

It sounds like you might have carpal (carpel) tunnel syndrome. Go to WEB-MD & check there for your symptoms. Then see your doctor as soon as you can. For now rest it and try not to do any repetative movements. WEB-MD may say to soak it in hot water, but read what they say carefully. I was a cancer nurse mainly. So do see your own doctor. If you dont have insurance get some b4 you get diagnosed as operation is likely and not cheap. You are not in an emergency situation (again read what web-md says. But once you're diagnosed it becomes a pre-existing condition. I hope you or your parents already have ins. !!! Best wishes!

Wear a wrist gaurd, and talk to your doc about carpal tunnel

Well if you had like a fractured wrist and the doctors took a lot of x-rays then it might be that because when they take an x-ray then go inside see your bones and its possible to a bit damaged. But if its not that then you are probally writting too much.
