Oh god, why does it hurt so much?

[Raziaar]

I've just finished writing a page long letter to my mother. I have decided to write her a letter, with a pen, and mail her some pictures of me and my brother for her Christmas. It's not much, but more than I've ever done for her before. She's always wanted us to write and send some pictures, and I've just put it off for so long.

But as I've been writing the letter, and finishing it, my hand is hurting so much! The pain is excruciating, even for short periods of time. I am not holding the pen really hard, and I am not writing in cursive. I don't even remember how to write cursively since I've used the computer for typing so long.

What the hell could cause so much pain from such a simple, effortless process? At least, it's effortless and simple for most people. Not me though.

 

[Stormy]

Ohh man, how cheap! Buy her a car or somthing!!

Ha, only kidding. I think presents like that are generaly alot more apreceated more then just buying crap that no one wants.

I think i should try writing a page, i may well be in the same position as you but im to lazy to find out.

 

[hungryduck]

perhaps carpal tunnel from too much time on teh intertubes and hl2.nets?

 

[Slacker]

Haha, was I the only one expecting this topic to be about some sort of emotional gaining over writing to his mother?

 

[Geogaddi]

I have trouble writing any more than a paragraph without hand cramps. I'm still in school though, so it's really bad.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Damn, I clicked thread expecting hot buttsechs. Deliver dammit!

 

[Evo]

*delivers*


Yeah i get it too Raziaar, especially in tests

I have no money... and she lives in california. We bought her something else to go along with the letters and pictures too.

I surprised myself in the exams just past. I wrote 6 pages of essay with only the most minor of hand cramps. However I did have a dent on my finger...

 

[AntiAnto]

That's probably the way you hold your pen and the pressure you apply on it with your fingers that cause the problem.

You should hold it like that and write with your whole arm lying as little as possible on the sheet.

All through high school I was usually fine writing things down, unless it was more than a page I really started to mind it. Like cramps and such.

Now I'm in an IT course in college and I never have to write anything....I've written like five tests that involved any use of a pen at all, and they weren't very long. Two of which were all multiple choice.

 

[Black Mesa corp]

Oh my wrist can hurt when writing. Normally when I've written pages upon pages of text though. Never the less it may take less time for the pain to come through depending on many factors; How long your 'writing skills' have been inactive, if your sleepy, what you've eaten... Believe it or not you use the muscle in your wrist more than you believe when writing. Just try moving your wrist around in small circles quickly. You'll feel the muscles.

I was expecting this too.

Rsu

 

[Fliko]

You do have another hand you know

 

[Instinct]

Just write gently. You dont need that much pressure.

 

[<RJMC>]

use a tiping machine (sp?)

 

[Mr-Fusion]

Yeah i get it too Raziaar, especially in testes
D:

heheh

I'm so immature.

 

[Krynn72]

Once you discover this bit of equipment you will realize you never need paper again!

 

[Raziaar]

Writing in my crappy handwriting is more personal. It's more meaningful.

Besides, I don't have a working printer here at all anyways to print out a typed letter.

 

[Krynn72]

lol, whenever I send my parents anything its through email. Yeah, its lame... but I dont have TIME for putting effort into my family relations.


I also call them a lot ;/

 

[Azner]

Who actually has a working printer at their house?

I have two broken ones, though.

 

[Darkwolf]

I've got a working laserjet...

 

[Danimal]

Typing.

 

[Azner]

lol tiping. Heres a dollar, now write my mom a letter

 

[highlander]

" why does it hurt so much?" you tell me

 

[Zephos]

The first thing that popped into my mind when I read the thread title was "That's what she said".

I get hand cramps from time to time, but less frequently than I used to.

 

[Kula Meenur]

I've got a working laserjet...

HAHAHAHA! Yes. I know you do. I've seen it. Yes in Australia, we do have some stupid things. For instance, we have these little f*cking things called pencils right, they're made out of wood, and when you drag them over paper real subtle like, they right words such as... "YOU"...and..."DUMBASS"....and even combinations like "YOU F*CKING DUMBASS WHY DID YOU BUY A LASERJET!"

...imma gonna get flamed 4 this...

 

[Azner]

/BANT!

 

[Darkwolf]

Yup

 

[kineaesth]

It's great how threads start on topic and then BANG dissapear under a cloud of buttsechs and bacons. Probably your hand ain't used to writing much. Write more, or just... Band-Aid? C:

 

[Operational]

I get the same thing, Raziaar - mostly at the start of semester, although exams can be bad as well.

Its a pity your Mum doesn't live in Australia or you could use http://www.takenote.com.au/

HAHAHAHAAAA! BAND AID! FOR A HAND CRAMP! FWAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!

That is sooo cool... you could have like ultra band aids for other cramps too! So when you're swimming and you f*ck cramp up, you can whack one on and it'll make the pain go away! F*CKIN SIK IDEA CHAMP!

I am sooooo gonna invent that...

*goes away to invent*

*comes back*

Hey KineticAesthetic..... would it be possible to make em out of arsenic and paper mache?

HALP PLSE!!!! WALARG!

 

[Raziaar]

I wonder if they have band-aids for menstrual cramps

 

[Kula Meenur]

I wonder if they have band-aids for menstrual cramps

FTLOL!

That would be soooo cool... and you could get like JUMBO-ULTRA-SUPER-HEAVY-FRIGGEN-DUTY-STAR-ATTACK-DELTA-FORCE-TEAM ones with pictures of Barney on them...

...or for adults... pics of nude Dr Breen... ..........he is a hunk!

*cough*

Maybe you could rewire a JUSHFDSADFT so it could harness energy from the changing pain levels. That would be awes. And maybe you could rewire them so they could be connected to juimper leads!

...So like if u eva have a flat battery, you could always just knock a mate out, fix him up with a JUSHFDSADFT Band aid, hook 'im up to ur batt with ur jumper leads and then bang! Ur car would be running like nothin ever happened!

...or if you dont have friends (he he) you could just hide a fetus in ur trunk and torture it whenever u need power! THAT WOULD KICK ASS!

*goes off to invent a JUMBO-ULTRA-SUPER-HEAVY-FRIGGEN-DUTY-STAR-ATTACK-DELTA-FORCE-TEAM? band-aid*

 

[kineaesth]

But, you realise the idea is mine? That's cool. You invent.

Btw, i was thinking more along the lines of a fine metal mesh with a sticky backing and glowing magnetic lightsticks for ULTRA POWER eXTREMe edition.

Koola Mena, are you 12?
