/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I started doing a lot of digital work and I noticed I was having some pretty nasty muscle pain shooting up my am when I moved my middle fingers. Stopped doing digital for a couple of days and took it easy on traditional and it feels better, with no trouble with graphite pencils at all for the most part. However using ink pens and my tablet I can only do about 5-10 minutes of reasonably taxing work before I have to stop for that same amount of time.

This is a recent issue. I've been drawing digitally for years and sometimes I've had to take breaks during an intense session or something, but I'm very concerned. Gonna go to my doctor but I'd like to hear some other anons experiences.

>tl;dr: hand hurts when I draw for short periods of time
