Breaks or fatter pen: If you hand hurts from writing for long periods of time, try to take breaks and stretch your fingers back. A fatter/wider pen may help if you have certain types of hand arthritis. If you're not sure of the cause, check in with your local hand surgeon.

Writers cramp: Try changing your grip, for example a tripod grip where the pen is between the index and middle and braced by the thumb. Try not gripping so tight. Try a rubber grip aid on the pen
