Hi Chris,

The only stupid question is the one that isn't asked. I don't know the
"right" way to reel, but what seems natural to me is that the hand moves in
a circle, about up to the wrist. There is some movement in the forearm but
it's not going in a circle like you described. I would think that could be
pretty tiring.

Jackfish gave good advice about seeing a doctor if you're having problems.

Good luck.

Hi my name is Chris and im 12 and I've been wondering.....ok this is
gonna sound stupid but whats the correct way to reel? The wrist that I
use to reel is giving me some trouble when I write. I've had this
problem for a since I was 9 when i first started fishing alot. I
usually reel with my entire arm up to my elbow all moving in a circle,
but a friend told me that this was the incorrect way to reel? If this
is, is there a correct way?
