Video: Gamers play video games for 12 hours per week. Me: you mean per day? Video: what? Me: what?

[@DJogdog]

"Dozens of hours a week" meaning at least 24 hours a week. And utilizing 12 hours of practice/play a day would mean they aren't getting enough sleep and probably aren't eating well, socializing and getting other hobbies/diversions in :(

[@peterers3]

Lofty Firstly they do get enough sleep. Most pros don't sleep more than 6-8 hours and food is already cooked for them. There simply are no other hobby's if you are an export athelethe just like other athletes don't really have hobby's. Interest yes, but time to make it a hobby, no!

[@Demha96]

i actually had or rather still have carpal tunnel syndrome, its not nearly as bad as it was a year ago though. the pain was so bad i couldnt sleep at times. take care of yourselves guys

[@imStorm3r]

yeah man it was like hell glad it's gone now, i think it's like 2 years since then

[@njordsoevik7208]

how did you get rid of yours ? I was diagnosed with it last week and have been suffering through it for a year now.

[@imStorm3r]

Well i didn't went to the doctor because it was like a lower stage. Half a year it hurt really bad but the other half it started to not hurt so bad and it happend less. Try to maintain your elbows and wrist STRAIGHT while staying at the pc, because this is really important. This is what most likely what caused it in most cases. Take some breaks from the pc to put a bag of ice on the wrists and stay like that for a couple of minutes. And i used some kind of cream i don't know how it's called but it's suppoed to make your wrist feel really warm like it's almost burning and that helps with the infalmation. Try these tips and it may help you get rid of it faster. Edit: And to help with that i actually got a new chiar with adjustable arms to help me maintain my arms at the same level as the desk.

[@shadeteermt]

#1, verify your diagnosis with both Google, MD, and another physician. I have had individuals tell me their doctor diagnosed them with carpal tunnel, when they absolutely did not have it. But some doctors are lazy, stupid shits and will give buzz word diagnoses because it's more comfortable for patients; patients feel like they understand their condition, and they don't ask questions. #2, myofascial release of the forearm flexors and flexor retinaculum. Muscular release and stretch of pronator teres. Extensors should be worked too, but not as critical. #3, laser therapy directed at the carpal tunnel, passage through pronator teres, and cervical nerve roots. #4, gentle forearm flexor stretching exercises daily Significant relief of symptoms should not take more than a month with weekly treatments, though symptoms may increase initially after the first treatment.

[@jordanp7961]

[@CornCamp]

For almost 4 years I thought I was developing carpal tunnel. Progressively my gaming sessions with friends got shorter and less enjoyable. I'm no pro, but gaming is part of my lifestyle so I was really distressed at the thought that I may have to give it up. I tried all sorts of posture correction in my wrist from wearing wrist braces to buying a better desk. Nothing reduced the pain, until the 3rd year when the shoulder pain I had developed from swimming began to ruin my favorite traditional sport as well. This time I did not hesitate to go to a doctor and look into physical therapy. I was lucky that nothing was actually damaged inside if my shoulder, but the muscles in my neck and back were chronically very tense. This turned out not only to be causing my shoulder pain, but also pinching the nerves in my shoulder that run down my arm and into my hand, thus causing the issues I was experiencing. After that I bought a new chair with removable arm rests to encourage myself not to lean on my right arm and allow it to relax. I adjusted my stroke in swimming as well to be less intense on the wrong parts of my shoulder. Now I still have a little lingering discomfort, but I get to swim and play games to my hearts content. Moral of the wall o' text: If you think you have carpal tunnel, but you can't seem to treat it, check out your shoulder too. I found that everything from swimming, the desks at my school, my homework/gaming desk, and my favorite traditional sport all contributed to an unhealthy chronic tenseness in my shoulder, that causes me to experience many of the symptoms of carpal tunnel, even now after treatment because I let it get so severe before I managed to figure the issue out.

My father had carpal tunnel problems and was operated. It healed in a few weeks and he doesn't have any more issues since then. I think an operation isn't the most common way yet, but according to my father it worked out very well for him.

This is something I've been struggling with for the past year and a half. It's limited my gaming so much over this time. I even basically quit playing from Christmas to early March this year. I haven't gone to the doctor since I don't have insurance. But I've tried multiple things to try to fix my wrist. I take anti-inflammatories, wear a wrist brace at night, got a mouse that's supposed to be more ergonomic, and been trying to work on my posture. Sometimes I feel I'm making some progress, but I'm not sure.

Since the ground was rough my knee got hurt as well, It started bleeding and my right was paining so badly some where near my wrist, because of my knee I wasn't able to get up. I was in so much pain, that I had to stop playing sports/video games because of my hand. Most of the work was done by my left hand (such as typing, eating, drinking, etc)Sadly I'm not a lefty. So then I started searching on the internet about wrist pain and how to stop it. Found this video and It made me understand perfectly.Thanks.

I got carpal tunnel a few times. However, it wasn't exclusively gaming caused for me. It's always after extended drives. It sucks, it really does.

[@frajic5843]

Carpal tunnel syndrome isn't the only kind of repetitive strain injury you can get - my computer habits led to me developing tendinosis earlier this year. Tendinosis is a degenerative condition that is treated with frequent stretches and weeks or months of rest, and anti-inflammatory medicine actually slows down the healing process. You should examine your symptoms and make sure you don't assume you have the wrong condition.

[@metatrontf]

I'm studying Animation and I love gaming and drawing, but CT makes it so hard. At its best, the pain is minor and there's only numbness and subtle tingly pain. But at its worst, the pain goes from my ring finger down to my forearm, with extreme pain around my wrist and numbness a little further down, and so much weakness in my hand I can barely close it into a fist. I can barely draw for thirty minutes before I stop because the pain becomes almost unbearable, sometimes I can't sleep and I can't play certain games the way I used to even though I'm learning how to aim with my arm and not wrist. It's a pretty shitty pain.

Carpel tunnel syndrome is not an overuse injury, tendinitis is. I would frequently have pain from playing EverQuest and WoW, so I went to the specialist to be checked for carpel tunnel syndrome. The test involved having electric needles put into the muscles of my hand and having me flex those muscles in a specific manner. I tested negative, and yes it sucked. Essentially the point is that carpel tunnel syndrome is often not the issue, but it is the term that people know, and the symptoms are pretty similar.

There's a bone which seems projected along my wrist, when i turn my hand at 90 degrees downward, it's easy visible.. touching or putting pressure on it causes pain. Also i can't stretch my hand backwards (turn it 90 degrees upward) or do a handstand or push-ups, cause it's painful. I have been taking Calcium tabs, hoping it'll fix soon.

I have/had CTS in both wrists for years and I undergone many treatments. Eventually I had a surgery for my keyboard hand that eliminated many of my issues. I still have issues with my mouse hand and did not had a surgery yet. Using a vertical mouse really reduced many of the issues I had. I wish there would be vertical gamine mice though...

I can't play guitar longer than 5 minutes now because of carpal tunnel. Hurts too much. Everyday I wake up in the morning, and my hand is numb, and my wrist is hurting. It's horrible.

carpal tunnel is what you get after streaming 240bpm for long periods of time
