Also, you don't have to play video games at all. You can get it sitting incorrectly in front of a computer for long periods of time.

I don't have a better site 'cuz they are Dutch.

Now that that is bad!

Yeah well, I still got light symptons. It can still be prevented.

Sounds annoying, I wish you the best of luck dealing with this issue.

damn i too wish you the best of luck

Thanks for the heads up guys, it can keep it up but it's just boring...

had very light symptoms of RSI when I was younger, but I just quit computing for a while, and now i'm cured. My wrists are still kinda weak, but it gets better.
I once saw a guy with very bad RSI symptoms, they had to amputate his arm because he was in so much pain that morfine wouldn't help.

well, I was about 10 years old I gues, used to hang around the computer all day. It started with little pain in my wrist, then in my whole arm and schoulder. I used to do a lot of push-ups for training, but I couldn't anymore, because my wrist were hurting that much and were just to weak.

Luckely my mom works at a hospital, and warned me in time. After 2 months I was cured, only did light computing afterwards., MSN and that sort of stuff.

But i'm still feeling it sometimes. I'm doing my training with no pains anymore, but sometimes my wrists still get weak after i've sat behind the computer for a couple of hours. Then I just stop and don't use my hands or sleep for a bit. That usually helps a lot.

Good luck with yours mate.

every hardcore gamer knows what rsi is

Thanks, I think I'm going to stop gaming too for two months. Because when I am after my computer I won't feel a thing.

I guess you think I'm a hardcore gamer. Well, I ain't. Sure I play games, but maybe one or two hours in one day at night. (except friday and saturday). Everybody can get it, sadly.

Sounds like it would be tough to tell the difference from carpal tunnel and RSI at first since it seems to start in the wrists, I don't have any symptoms so I feel relieved, I would have never known about RSI if it wasn't for this topic. Thanks. And once again, best of luck.
