Hi,
I'm a physician, but this post reflects my personal hand pain when using a pen. I did a youtube video where I looked at different pens and how they increased my ability to write without pain and spasm. Give it a look if you have the "painful paws" problem like I do.

I just watched your video re: pens. Good information.
I have RA and find that my hands tire or cramp easily when required to write. I generally use a lightweight mechanical pencil with the grips like the pens you were showing for most of my note taking. For signatures or official paperwork a thick pen with a comfort grip is a must. Couldn't agree more - stick pens are like torture for painful paws.
i liked it, too. I switched to a fat gripper pen a long time ago and just love them. I've tried a weird pen -- but it was not for me. I couldn't get the control of a fat gripper with it.
