Bought a $50 Wacom tablet off eBay and it saved my wrist after 3 years

I was using a mouse for all my digital painting for years and my right hand started to ache something fierce. Found a used small Wacom Intuos for 50 bucks on eBay, figured I'd try it before spending big money. After a week of getting used to the hand-eye coordination, the pain went away completely. Anyone else have luck swapping to a tablet for health reasons?

after a week of getting used to the hand-eye coordination" that week was the worst part but worth it for sure.

@spencer_johnson22 I forced myself to do the tutorial drills over and over until my hands just started doing it automatically. Stuck with the basic combos and didn't even touch multiplayer until I could pull them off without thinking. That muscle memory thing is real. The first few days were rough but after that it clicked and now I don't even look at my fingers.
