Hope you are feeling better soon. It's no fun trying to draw with sore wrists. I too find myself having a death grip on my pen. I constantly have to tell myself that it doesn't need pressure to work. Good luck and I hope the doctor has helped you.
take care of yourself! Its better not to overdo things than go mad and do too much sometimes! I had carpal tunnel and I was lucky that a couple of small operations cured it- You may have a variety of conditions, but rest is a good idea! take care my friend..
Also get a gel wrist pad from any office supply store. They are cheap and compleltey work. I am on puter 24/7 it feels like and use the support/pad and have avopided carpal tunnel. for the wacom use i pull the pad over the bottom part of the pad and use it therre too. But like u i grip the pen too hard!! anyhow good luck!
If your having trouble with your wrist due to drawing on the computer or too much mouse usage get a wacom! The bigger the better. That is for your wrist at least. The bigger it is the more you use your whole arm instead of just flickers of your wrist.
I got the brace a few years ago and if I wear it at night it helps cause I guess I was not keepining my wrist straight at night and it helps the carpal tunnel. When I feel the ache coming back I wear it for a few nights. Good luck with it tho.
