hi all..... not quite sure where to post this but this seems right... for close to a year now i've been dealing with various hand things ..... symptoms like tendinitis and CTS but not that ..... not my point..... now as if progresses i have trouble writing i have to rest my wrist on the table to provide support and reduce pain but this makes it challenging to put enough pressure on a typical pen to allow for writing...... has any one run into a pen that has the tip pointed down or something or any other suggestions ..... i've tried the grips and i did have occupational therapy for a while but no ones been able to show me a product that works or even comes close it's all the same ideas....... don't hold the pen as tight and use pen grips didn't work thanks

a while ago in some mail order catalogs they had pens that gave your finger good "posture". I will look around and see if i can find the site/mag/catalog/company/pen and get back to you tomorrow. your finger goes IN the Pen and puts pressure on TOP of the Tip. I think this may help.

Ok it is the RINGPEN avalible at DR. Leonards online at http://www.drleonards.com/detail.cfm?EDP=10126225 It would let you put pressure DOWN to hold the pen. easer time to hold it. It is for arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome or limited mobility in hands so i think it may be what you could use. i dont know about the price tho it is aweful expensive... but if it worth it to you go ahead. Try to find it cheaper tho.(might get a good deal)
I found it made my handwritine neater too!(thank god, now ppl can read it!) :wink:
Hope i helped!
