Handwriting getting worse...?!
Question: I am right handed and have always had beautiful effortless handwriting. I am finding that recently, I almost seem to struggle with my handwriting anymore. I am only 27 years old and can't seem to find a reason this would be happening. My handwriting used to be large and exaggerated and "perfect" as I grew up. Now I am finding that I can barely write legibly and my hands almost ache sometimes from signing my name. I also struggle to make the transition from an "M" or "N" to another letter. I alway write in cursive, not print, and I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I HATE to print,so that is not an option for me. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this? Could it be possible carpal tunnel? Thanks!

Sounds weird. It could be arthritis or carpal tunnel.
Sounds like arthritis or maybe carpal tunnel. I would ask my Doctor to see for sure.
