Help on relieving hand pain?

So there's something different with my right hand. I don't hold pencils like an average person does, and I can't hold it like an average person either. XD But recently I've been writing billions of pages and notes and projects that the side of my right hand that touches the paper hurts and it's cramping.

I've tried to go lighter on my pencil, and pull my sleeve to cover my hand when writing, and over the course of 3 days, no improvement.

And I still have a bunch of examinations and projects to do, so anyone know how to help my hand pain?

My hand always hurts when I write. I hate it. D: If I have to do a writing project, I usually type it if I can. When I write, I dig my nails into my hand, which is probably my problem. I try to loosen my grip on my pencil. I doubt this is what's happening to you, but good luck. ;D

@Trish

Well that doesn't sound like Carpel Tunnel, which I have.
Try some Ibprophen.
That should help, it helps relieve pain and swelling.
I'm not sure what else would help.

@trish There is this awesome stuff called Tiger Balm that is kinda like Flexall, but MUCH better ^^ You could try that 😊
