    Help an FFRer in pain!

    Hello. I am a manic FFR player, and yesterday I think I overdid it. I'm typing this all with my left hand because the right is in serious pain, like, all up my forearm.
    I was having trouble with my right hand before, so I converted from index to spread, thinking that would take some strain off it, but it's just been getting worse. Any suggestions as to how I can take care of this problem?

    Well is only FFR a problem for you? Perhaps you have carpal tunnel.

      I'm thinking this.
      Even things like writing are painful today. I'm getting worried, because I know carpal tunnel can put me out of commission for quite a while.

        does it hurt if you bend the tip of your thumb backwards?

          I have a solution: stop playing FFR for a while.

              It's highly unlikely that you have carpal tunnel, but if the pain doesn't at least lessen over the next couple of days, see someone about it.

              Also note that a forum for an internet flash-based DDR-type game isn't the best place to go for medical advice other than the aforementioned "don't play FFR".

                    I agree with the fact that this probably shouldn't be your first place to ask for medical advice, unless someone here is a doctor or in med school (which is possible), but I'd wait it out a few days and then see a doc about it. I'd also try icing it and then heating it. Keep the ice in a rag or something though

                            This happened to me. I stopped for about a week and it went away.
