I think I'm getting carpal tunnel.

[stlunatic0124]

I really don't think I can play anymore. My wrists always hurt and I always feel the need to like stretch them out and crack them. And sometime I feel tinkling in the palm of my hand close to my pinky. I might be done with this game, having working wrists is more important than a video game :/

My middle finger twinges sometimes. Today it has been especially bad. I'm unhappy with my performance today.
Nevr had any problems with my wrists though.

I feel for you luna, though I personally have never gotten this feeling =\

Re: I think I'm getting carpal tunnel.

you may want to visit your doctor, as im sure not very many FFR users have the qualifications to tell you if you have carpal tunnel or not.

EDIT: if he asks what game you play, say the coolest game on the planet with arrows.

I don't play that much to avoid something like that from happening.

Stretching and cracking my wrists is normal for me. But i never had those other symtoms.

Re: I think I'm getting carpal tunnel.

If you have and odd bump anywhere around your wrist then you might have calcium build up. I don't know how it may occur, but my friend has it, and he complains on how much pain he gets from it from time to time. I doubt that you have it, but it sounded like what he has.
I've been playing FFR/SM for a little while and never had any of those symptoms happen to me or anyone I know. It does't sound to good so I agree with Project, go see a doctor.

Lots of the time I'll be on FFR forums or doing something that isn't SM or FFR, and my hands and fingers just get really restless and figity and it's really starting to bug me.

quit cutting, that'll help

Re: I think I'm getting carpal tunnel.

That sucks. I would give the game a bit of break and see if it still bothers you.

Re: I think I'm getting carpal tunnel.

I had this happen once after a particularly long day of playing.

Just ice your hand and don't play for a day, and it'll go away. Or at least it did for me.

Re: I think I'm getting carpal tunnel.

Just because you had certain pains in your hands doesn't necessarily mean it's carpal tunnel. Could be over usage of the tendons and maybe some nerves. Give it a break for a bit, and if the pain or tingling doesn't cease during FFRing or other activities requiring some degree of dexterity, consult a physician.

rofl, I usually don't have problems, but my wrists sometimes hurt, only when I play for a long time, but that does suck if you have carpal tunnel.
