Yeah, one of my professor has all essay exams and my hands always hurt so bad from writing so much. The last exam I took was about 30 minutes and my hand was killing me by the time I was finished. I kept having to put my pencil down and shake my hand. I think its worse if you write really fast and apply a lot of pressure when you write.

You should probably tell your doctor about it- it could be carpal tunnel syndrome. My mom and brother both had to have surgery for that because it got so bad.

Good luck!!

yeah...i depends. why does it matter buddy????

my son has dysgraphia and his hand hurts when writing.

after 4 minutes

not really.

yes.like for 2 hours

repetitive stress syndrome......or carpel tunnel!

That isn't good. you should take breaks every so often to relieve the stress.

3-4 hours although I never had to write that long

that sucks for you, there is this hand piece u can put on your hand for writing to dull the pain
its at like CVS

pretty much everyone has their hand hurt after extended periods of handwriting.

My hand hurts after about Idk half an hour? I have't written in a while so it's hard to rememeber. But yeah it doesn't take long to tire me out.

yeah.... 1/2h of continuous writing

10 minutes

yeah mine does that too especially when I was in school and had to write long timed essays


ANYWAYS. i've heard that the way you hold your pen/ pencil has a lot to do with how much your hand hurts. also if you grip it really tightly it'll hurt more and make your hand sore.

1 hour

Mine starts hurting after about 5 minutes.
Usually when I stop thinking about it, it stops, though.

sheesh r u writing a book or sumthn?!?!?!? lol. ya it hurts sumtimes when i write but it goes away in like 10-20 minutes

I would say maybe every 45 minutes do the hand exercise for about 10 mins at a time.

until it craps and you can't answer no more-mate.

My hand and wrist begin to mildly hurt after 30 to 40 minutes. I stop and stretch my hand, massage it and go on for another 30 minutes then I'm done.

u hurt because u hold the pen too tight and press too hard. how is IT POSSIBLE THAT U STILL DO NOT HAVE A COMPUTER TO DO UR WRITING? they are not that expensive ... and u can use one in the local library...for freee!

mine hurt too after a few minutes. If it bothers you and you can't afford as computer, get a typewriter. They have decent ones with a little LED screen that lets you type a sentence before you tell it to commit/print to page.

yeaaah. but i'm used to it now.
and it happens a lot since i tend to write fast.
it also leaves a pink mark in between my fingers.

oh ya my hand really hurts but after a bet I no longer have any feeling in my hand. thats why haven a type writer is so handy.

Try having a not so hard grip on your pen while writing. Relax your wrists a bit when stroking. That would help a lot.
