Under the current circumstances, many of us are doing more painting than usual. That being said, what has been hurting you the the most lately.
1. Eyes
2. Back
3. Hands/Fingers (from brush holding)
4. Brain (from trying to figure out what to paint next)
5. Wallet (from purchasing more figures to paint)
6. Other (please specify if you can)

2 then 1 eventually.

I would go with 2, but frankly I haven't done too much painting.

1 and 6. My already bad knees get stiff and painful when I sit and paint too long.

4.

1, 2, and 3 mean that you're doing the right amount of painting!

None – I could paint all day and feel fine

Working at home means no commute time so some additional painting time, but working at home means – well – working! So less time to paint than one might think

I have new calluses on my hands from repeated … uhm … using the nippers and X-Acto to convert a month's worth of figures in a week.

All of the above and more … old fart

It's not the painting, I paint for half an hour and then do something else. It's the computer. I spent a few hours at my computer on Tuesday, twisted at a bit of an angle while comparing the computer files to various pieces of paper. Woke up yesterday with pain across the chest, difficulty in coughing and sneezing. Hoped it wasn't the current malaise, but thought it was probably muscular in origin. This morning, much better.

Oh, and the computer affects my eyes, as well.
