What @mellow said plus you (a) may need a bit of practice and (b) get a pen with a better grip.
I usually write 2-3 A5 pages a day, so writing 5+ would make my hand a bit stiff. If you write less than a page a day, you may want to take it easy at the beginning. For example, try a 5 minute journaling practice.
Grip is very important (saying as a leftie who uses fountain pens). You may want to look at a pen like Lamy Safari that has a grip that forces you to hold the pen correctly. Don’t use thin pens like Parker Jotter unless you have really petite hands.
As @mellow suggested, using a pen that flows well is necessary but not sufficient to ease the pressure on the page. If you are a heavy writer, it will take some effort to break the habit.
