yer this happens when you tense your forarm too hard for a prolonged period of time.

relax more when you write.

OR

Be male.

get smooth pens, handwrite whenever you can and see a dr :/

Hey this is similar to what i get in my shoulder. You can get this gel for muscle tension at the chemist and its like a soother/panadol for tightness etc. I am not too sure what its called though hope this helps

I think you mean deep heat?

OMG yes i get that too! dw about it tho, aparantly its heaps common, cause people start to get heaps stressed when yr 12 comes along, and there limbs "tense up".

i just think its cause in my last assesment task i wrote 8 pages in 40 mins :S

For Bio i had to write a summary of the BluePrint Of Life Chapter. My arm was like. Dead.

My palm tends to sweat a lot from writing extensively under exam condition. Sweat to the point where the page is soaked and can easily rip it, lol.

It means you need to write more until it's so painful that the pain barrier breaks!

You must write quite fast.

i suggest u try get special provision if its really bad, go see occupational therapist but its so hard to get the provision nowadays BOS so so fricken strict >=[
i know this girl form james ruse she had the same problem but she actually bandaged her arm really tight during the exam which apprantly helped try that if u want

smoothie pens by bic are the best even though they cost 2.80ish each get cheaper or dearer depends where u shop but i believe woolies or coles cant rememebr which 1 have the best prices around. theyre by bic

My knuckles kill atm from writing up my ancient notes last night v_v

Sticky tape a battery to the end of your pen, and take off the battery for exams. It strengthens the muscles in your hand and arm so you can write for longer without cramping.

I've found it hasn't really helped me write faster though, that requires practice.

 

[rooeys2]

iv tried that it felt lighter wen i took it off but i think i still wrote at the same pace =/

Weighing it down only strengthens your hand. To write faster the only thing you can do is practise actually writing.
