FFR/SM medical issues?

[junkimchi]

whenever I play a couple minutes to hours of FFR or Stepmania, I can't help but think that neither is healthy for my finger nor my eyes. My vision gets kinda blurry after a session and it seems like everything is moving up (i think because arrows come up). Has anyone heard of someone getting some medical problem because of excessive tapping? Or has anyone hurt themselves in a humorous or a silly way? I seriously think that DDR sims are cutting my eyesight by half everytime i play...

It doesn't happen to me, and I have never gotten a hand injury(except one time hitting my hand THROUGH a fence). Just stop playing DDR until you find out what it is.

If you are having problems why are you continuing to play?

I fell off the stage playing heavy doubles on DDR, but that seems different than what you're talking about.

You might have epilepsy. Or you might just need to get some sleep.

I slipped off my playstation2 dancemat a couple of days ago. Was my own fault, was wearing socks. But the sofa was there to catch me so no major injuries, a couple of fat ugly bruises though.
Had a small cramp in my right hand and a bit of an arm ache from ffr once, but that was just because i was trying to improve quickly so was playing songs that are pretty hard for me for a few hours.

I get cramps in my hand all the time. But with the eye, it's because you're staring at a screen nonstop for hours. It's not good for your eyes. My eyes get sore at the end of the day though. And the worst thing I've done on DDR was playing a standard song(I've only played it like once before and I know own it) at my girlfriends house and I slipped backwards on the metal pad and almost broke my ankle. I couldn't play DDR anymore and could barely walk XD!

i don't think i have any medical conditions. And I keep playing cause i guess i'm addicted.

Sometimes if I play DDR/SM for a few hours, and close my eyes later, I see arrows going up in my head, it's a bit creepy, but cool at times.

you might get carpal tunnel, but unlikely unless you play gaussian blur 24-7
my eyes hurt, and no, staring at a screen like this for hours isn't good at all.
