You can mitigate and postpone it by regularly squeezing grip exercise tools. But your predisposition to has already been pretty much decided by genetic lottery.

Basically; stop playing cawadoodee.

Prolonged console FPS gaming is a leading cause in 'gamer thumb' aka osteoarthritis of the thumb.
So stop playing games on controller that require precise right thumbstick aiming control and need the thumb to constantly be kept at tension in an awkward position, like FPS games do.

Turn down mouse sensitivity so you move your arm more

I’m 38 and my problem are sore back/hips. I literally need to exercise every day or it returns. I miss when I was in my 20’s/early 30’s and I could do anything, stay up gaming to 4am in the morning, eat like shit, and still have no physical repercussions.

OP's image shows 'gamer thumb' which you get from having your thumb awkwardly positioned on controller thumb sticks for prolonged time. It does not show carpal tunnel syndrome, which you get from mishandling a mouse.

It's basically impossible to get gamer thumb from a keyboard, since the angles the thumb takes are not extreme enough for it, and they'll be mostly at rest over the lower keys - predominantly the space bar - in a natural position.

Keep your body healthy, dumb men.

my pinky and ring fingers go numb from holding a controller these days

the dualshock 4 is perfectly designed for a comfortable thumb posture

sounds like a made up problem

>>729643289
Just keep trying different hand stretches. When you find the right one it's bliss.

This might be true, I can't seem to properly do precise aiming on the right thumbstick. I spent a ton of hours on Siege on a Gamepad.
I was told to do grip exercises daily to recover

arthritis is an auto immune disease.
it's pretty much just genetic.

>>729643659
You get this from using kbm. On a controller you hands are in the natural position
>>
Meh, i dont care. As soon as i can't move my right hand anymore, i'll just play something that doesnt require swift hand eye coordination and button mashing. Like spider on windows 98. And i don't need to fear for not being alle to write either, i'm a leftie
>>
get a grip device that you squeeze and it makes your hand stronger
>>
>>729643048
Play games with your keyboard
