>ruins you're gaming time more
I have arthritis starting to rape my knees but my hands have never hurt once in my life, what the fuck kind of hand posture are you guys using?
only two games have caused that for me rather recentlyhollow knight and thps 3+4
I literally shrughed off the pain and it went away
>>739766118The fuck are you playing? This?
just switch to your other hand bro
advil
34 hereStill playing competitive gameStill playing every game on hardest difficultyNo musculature problemJust don't be fat and exercise, losers
>>739766118Play some less intense games for a while and give your hands a break.
>>739766979kek I literally couldn't use my left hand for like a week after trying to get a 150m+ combo in THPS1+2
>>739766118I'm 43 and I don't have this issue.Sounds like a posture/ergonomics problem. aka, skill issue.Get good by getting comfy.
happened to me but my wrist. started around age 33 and only got worse. entire right upper arm feels slightly numb 24/7. it is always on your mind even when you're sleeping. any excessive mouse use makes wrist hurt. only surgery can fix it at that point.take care of your wrists zoomers, don't think it won't happen to you. for me it came seemingly out of nowhere and only got worse, even if you take long breaks it only went away temporarily but it comes back until eventually it never goes away.
>>739766118My wrist hurts so much bros... I don't have anything to do besides gaming i'll just kill myself
>>739766118Have you tried not punching everything when you get a little frustrated?
>>739767180I'm trying to make a game and only playing it for 3 minutes gives me cramps on my mouse hand.
>>739768151Isn’t that a trapped nerve i.e. no amount of "taking care of your wrist" was going to prevent it?
>>739766247nicelet us know if that changes
For me it’s specifically holds that fuck me up.>can keyboard smash or controller clack for hours on end without issue>but anything that requires pressing and holding a button or click fatigues my hand like nothing else It’s annoying as fuck. I’d exercise to improve it if I knew what kind of work it needed.
>>739767362I unironically did this to deal with Carpal tunnel; I now only use my right hand when playing games and use my left hand for everything else. Also applying Ice helps a ton.>>739768151>>739768281Get an ice packet and something to strap it to your wrist, it's how I've coped with Carpal Tunnel after getting symptoms nearly a decade ago.
I'm 41 years old and 15 months ago my wrist started hurting so much the pain didn't let me sleep. First the doctor told me I had carpal tunnel and sent me to rehabilitation; they made me memorize a set of wrist exercises to make every single day for the rest of my life. This year one day the pain became chronic to the point where I spent weeks without sleeping. Another doctor checked me, sent me to get an exam to see how bad is my carpal tunnel...The results came in and the doctor says I don't have carpal tunnel (but they still don't know what is wrong with me) so I have another session with another specialist. I don't regret playing videogames; I do wasting so much time on 4chan, to the point where I'm 100% sure the board is the one responsible for my carpal tunnel (I'm sure the second doctor is wrong; it can't be anything else).
>>739766118I'm 36, have played with mouse and keyboard and various controllers (all the way back to atari 2600) since I was 4, and I use a computer for multiple hours every day for gaming and work, and I've never had this happen, I don't even use a wrist support for my mouse handI don't understand how this becomes an issue, because I feel like I should be in the top percentile for developing it based on my habits and how long I've had them
>>739768932that yoga mission in gta 5 absolutely fucked my hands up with the amount of holding the sticks you had to do.
>>739769190I'm >>739769151 and like you I spent all my waking time either on a computer or playing videogames; everything was fine and dandy and never had any issues until one day the pain started and never left, a pain so awful I can only sleep by taking pain medication before going to bed. Or maybe I'm just a low test piece of shit with woman's wrists and you'll be fine.
>>739766247Haha that me four years ago...
>>739768623for me it was both wrist + the ulnar nerve in elbow that gets compressed. i have to use mice which face upwards and at night you wear a thing to avoid your body flexing the elbow while you're asleep. i'd have nights where i'd wake up and the entire upper part of my arm was completely numb to the point where you could hardly even feel it was there. it's really bad because there is no pain so you don't wake up from it but it's scary as fuck when you wake up and it feels like you just sat on your arm for eight hours.for wrists specifically what you want to avoid is sustained left-right movement where your arm is straight but the hand moves left and right thus pinching either side of the wrist. and avoid mice that are too small for your hand which causes your hand to grip tightly around the mouse in a claw-like posture. a bigger mouse will let your hand just sort of rest on the mouse rather than having to grip it tightly for precise movements.
>>739769532shouldve kept hitting the gym fatty
>>739766118Another ConsoleGOD W
>>739769451Fair enough, I'll take some more precautions, I guess it's the same as most aches and pains for people like us now, one day you just wake up with a new pain that has seemingly no explanation, sometimes it goes after a day or so, sometimes it's just how you are now and you just have to accept this is your life going forward I hope they figure out what’s wrong with your hand and can sort it out though dude
>this thread
>>739766918I had this, now I have sleep apnea which ruins my fucking everything
>>739770429I'm 125lbs
>>739770429Whoa, were did you get this video of me?
>>739770245i still work out but now my hands hurt sometimes...
>Lose my job>Lose all unemployment benefits>Have lots of time to game now>Wrist starts to hurt>it's Carpal TunnelNo... it's not fair. It's not fair! I finally had time! I had all the time in the world!
>>739770779What that retarded anon doesn't realize is that being skinny is what increases risk for carpal tunnel, not being fat.
>>739772980Is it the wrists? Then what is it when it's your palm that hurts? Or the hands? I don't feel pain in the wrists.
>>739766247I'm 30 and just got this.
>>739766118Have you also been milking goats?Yah that happens
