Go work out for a bit or something. Get away from the computer for a bit, trust me, you'll enjoy it! You should watch your posture too, sometimes I'll lean in peering at the screen like I'm glued to it, but catch myself and sit back. Just don't play for over 3 hours at a time without gettin' up for a bit.

Get a job, mine gets me out of the house for 9-10 hours a day.Out In the sun no less. It only hurts for a few minutes. Just kidding.

Ok, I seriously think I'm beginning to develop Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and it's freaking me out. Considering most of the people on these boards also spend a lot of time on computers and hours of them playing video games by using many repetitive movements, heh, I was kind of hoping maybe someone would have some suggestions on possibly different ergonomic positions, stretches, I dunno, anything I suppose. Thanks, and take it easy.

This is on the pistoleer forum because......?


And I don't have any good advice....haven't had that problem. I guess you could give your fingers a wiggle every once in a while....I don't know if this will help.....just an idea...

LOL, that's a good point sorry about posting it here, this is just my usual haunt so I didn't even think about that. Is there any way for me to remove the original post?

This kind of fits in to the pistoleer forum, since I often wonder how many times Islapped the fanshot button while taking down a slew of Borvo's forts.


If you are having pain in your wrist, you really should see a doctor, or at least a reflexologist. You may need some kind of therapy or education on stretching/ergonomics.


That being said, I used to have somewrist pain from doing sysadmin work for 9+ hours a day, and then 4-5 hours of Counterstrike at night. Once I felt the pain, I got myself a new mousepad with a gel wrist rest, and the pain went away almost immediately. I also went to a reflexologist and got a tuneup, and learned some stretchesin case the pain came back. Fortunately, it did not. I got lucky with just a mousepad and knowing I should be taking more breaks at work and from fragging.


Definitely do not ignore the pain. Carpal tunnel surgery isn'ta joy, I know three people that have had it done.
