Update: My wrist pain from tablet use has me rethinking my whole setup.
I've been dealing with serious wrist pain from using my drawing tablet for hours daily. Some artists swear by investing in expensive ergonomic stands and chairs, while others say regular stretches and timed breaks are the real fix. What's your take on prioritizing gear versus habits for avoiding injury?

Seriously, how bad is this pain really? Sounds like normal strain from overuse, not some career ending injury. People get too worried about buying fancy gear instead of just using their stuff less.

Ugh, I read a thing online about how that "just strain" feeling can turn into real damage. It said lots of people brush off wrist pain and end up with tendonitis that takes months to fix. Like my friend who kept gaming through the hurt and now has to wear a brace all the time, lol. Sure, buying a new keyboard won't magic it away, but neither will just using your hands less if you're already hurt. Sometimes you gotta actually rest, not just switch gear or tough it out.
