[Health] How long can you crochet before your hands hurt? ⏱️

Serious question about endurance.

When I started, I could crochet for 4 or 5 hours straight.
Now, after just 40 minutes, my wrist starts clicking and my fingers get stiff. I think I'm getting old! lol
Do you guys have a strict break schedule? Like 'work 20 mins, rest 5 mins'?
Or do you just keep going until you can't feel your fingers anymore?
Share your stretching routines if you have any!

You need to have a break schedule. You're going to get a repetitive use injury. Stop every twenty minutes. Do something else for ten minutes and come back to it.

You should probably take a month off and see if that helps.

I took two weeks off knitting when I first started because I hurt myself.

Not long for me these days. I have double vision and also very bad carpel tunnel in my wrist so I need surgery. I had one wrist done years ago and now the other one needs the same.
