I already have carpal tunnel, and I'm 29.
Take care of you while it's time. Later you'll be in lots of pain, you'll lose strength in your hands and you're going to regret the mistakes of the past. Source: my hands, wrists and arms hurting 24/7. I have to wear wrist supports all day. All because of Transport Tycoon, Doom, Diablo, Skyrim, and Elden Ring (on M&KB) etc.

tell us how prevent it, gay.
Google it.
Lifting weights won't make years of damage go away. I do physical therapy daily (for over a year) and I'm still in pain.
kek. get fricked then, gay.
I made this post to spread awareness. Frick off, useless moron.
get fricked, gay.
i hope you suffer more.
I have a wife and baby. You'll die alone.
>>>he thinks they wont let him croak lying in his own piss and shit in some god awful retirement home

My daughter is 17 right now. How old is your child?

shit genes.
Stupid Mexican.
i bet you drive automatic cars too, gay.
I feel bad that she had to be raised by a stupid butthole. I hope she can find peace when she moves away from you.
>My daughter is 17 right now
cringe, but unironically.
do you frick her?
I'm a degenerate, but not THAT degenerate.
>I'm a degenerate, but not THAT degenerate.
>he thinks he's not an evil demon troll
Go find another site to sully, coward.
>won't make years of damage go away
homie your nerve is pinched and swollen
You dont need heavy weights you need anti inflammatory medication lmaoo
Boo fricking hoo, grandpa. Do the work and quit larping as a wise sage
t. 30
anon carpal tunnel is inflammation from your nerve rubbing against the side too much... not just a little inflammation, but enough that the nerve is bigger than the frick hole its meant to pass through.
rest your hand, take anti inflammatories, when its better LEARN TO FRICKING USE A MOUSE WITHOUT SPAZZING UR HAND AROUND SO IT RUBS UP AGAINST THE SIDE
all the wrist supports do it keep it straight, u should be able to do this at ALL TIMES WITHOUT TRYING U MONGOLOID
carpal tunnel is so easily avoidable if your not an absolute fricking moronic moron
Don't do repetitive motions with just your wrist for hours on end day in and day out. That's it. Just learn how to use your whole arm to use your mouse instead of *just* your wrist, take breaks for ten minutes, maybe do a little stretch or loostening exercises once in a while. Not OP because I do these things and don't have carpal tunnel at age 30
get a bigger desk, and mousepad
use arm and elbow to move mouse instead of wrist
do this as early in life as possible, and never change
basically use your mouse like a fps pro gamer.
tiny ass mousepads with wrist supports (think the tiddy mousepads) are bad and reinforce bad habits, both for gaming and your wrist. You want a big pad and lower sensitivity so you are moving your arm and elbow which are way stronger and resistant to repetitive motion damage than your wrist.
Nah frick that guy who said low sensitivity, get it high enough you barely need to move your wrist. Get a chair or desk with a neutral angle supporting your elbow. I like my shit in the angle of the L desk so my elbows get solid support.
Don't use your wirst to aim. Move your entire arm.
being a controller chad
>carpal tunnel
You realise thats not a permanent thing right?
Let him have his imaginary oldgay moment
lift some weights you fricking pansy.
How do I grow big wrists?
t. Wristlet
wrist curls both ways
calisthenics
>How do I grow big wrists?
You don't. Post-puberty the physical structure of your wrist will not grow. The wrist is almost entirely ligaments and bone, there's no natural way to make them bigger. You can get bigger forearms through various exercises like wrist curls like the one anon said, or by simply carrying heavy weights (farmer carry is an example of such an exercise). Virtually any exercise involving your grip will contribute to forearm growth as well, so there are plenty of avenues to growing your forearms, but your wrists will always be the size they are.
I used to think I had small wrists
but I looking to buy some bracelets and I had to buy the largest sizes of mens bracelets and all the people I saw thought I had big wrists
I realized my wrists aren't very wide, normal width for people, but I have a lot of depth which means the total circumference is huge as frick but it never really looked that way to me since I only ever saw them from the top view
ty for coming to my ted talk
what are considered "big wrists"?
y cannot touch the tips of my finger with my thumb when i grab my wrist. is that big?
I have a bit over a 8 inch circumference
I thought it was index finger to middle finger, which I can barely do, is it meant to be thumb? I can barely get that around my wrist, there is a huge gap lmao
googling it I am apparently 99th percentile wrist circumference, that can't be fricking right wtf
just realizing that combined with my really thick neck I understand why people are so surprised I am a huge nerd and a software developer, I must look like a fricking meathead to so many people holy shit...
Unironically break them and have surgery..My old watches don't fit anymore
HGH and exercise
I'm way more afraid of my Piano taking my carpal virginity than Videogames ngl.
Do vertical mouse help?
Yes, op is an idiot. That and something that supports your wrist (i f.e. sometimes use a simple wrist sweatband)
Also correct stretching exercises and (I think) lifting weights correctly. For these two do not ask Ganker because they will try to frick up your wrists
If youre already in pain go see a doc and ask for advice
get a power ball and a vertical mouse
or just take breaks often enough and do some simple wrist exercises
vertical mouse? That actually made my wrist hurt for 6 months, I had to use this again
The youtuber major slack is in his 60s and this never happened to him. I think you were might have just been being careless.
carpal tunnel can literally go away just take a fricking break you addict jesus christ
I had to quit PC gaming completely, but even using a controller causes pain. I just hope that it gets better by the time my kid is old enough to play games.
Choline & Inositol.
Wrist braces when you sleep.
Work out you fricking homosexuals.
Proper stretching, don't stretch cold muscles and tendons.
I'm 43, have never worked out, jerk off thrice daily and dont have carps in my tunnel, what the frick are you doing?
There's a genetic component to it. Jerking off doesn't cause it.
Heavy forearm training? You know, dough kneading for 20 or 30m.
should've learned to play an instrument since it comes with lessons on how to keep your hands from disintegrating
I'm 34 now and can still play rhythm games and modern Tetris all day
I'm 37 and I never experienced carpal tunnel, but I have this in both my wrists.
>getting an illness because your tiny arms can't move a mouse for couple hours
literally how fricking weak are you
Try 12 hours a day, minimum.
sounds like a skill issue to me
people actually work 12 hours a day in construction you’re an actual subhuman who wouldnt have survived a week post-birth in a society that didn’t celebrate the deformed and the weak
Good thing I have enough of a brain to not need to rely on my ability to do physical labor to make money.
leeching off gibs is not a feat and youre still a subhuman with wrist problems
I make $120k a year doing basically nothing besides being near a computer and occasionally doing some work on it. Try again.
get wrecked gay
based.
Both of my parents got carpal tunnel in their 50's, my dad got it in both his hands. It's not really that bad because you can just get surgery for it and it's all fine, you don't even need general anesthetics for it and you can go home the same day
carpal tunnel is a myth
there are powerlifting 90 year olds lifting 5 times your twinkie body weight with no joint issue copes
all pain is a neuron response, you’re weak both physically and mentally
I'm been gaming all my free time on consoles and PC for the last 32 years (even fair share of the PSP Monster Hunter claw) and I have no problems whatsoever.
Get a grip, homosexual.
Don't yall feel like creepy pedo vibes still being here past 23? Like it's also cringe to....
soon enough, you gen alpha and zoomie homosexuals wont even know how to use PCs anymore. the eternal september will finally end.
they already dont, they phonepost
Im been at my computer up to 18hrs a day every day for 20 years (both work and free time, hardcore gaming) and I dont have any of that shit
you must have utterly fricked sitting/hand position
dealt with it on and off for years and its terribly annoying and fixable.
do general strength arm exercises, lots of finger wrist stretching, correct your arm posture, and don't lean on your arms.
give it a week or two with some ice and heat and should be better
It's one of those things you think won't happen to you until it does, for me it was spending a whole summer playing on a hitbox for >12h a day
Got surgery after 3 years of constant pain and doctors not giving a shit just telling me to "stretch and do exercise lol", best thing I've ever done in my life
I have this only on my left wrist even though I'm right handed, it's super weird
I don't even play with a keyboard most of the time
you prevent carpal tunnel by never stopping to game so you keep the area grinded down pussy
I fixed my carpal tunnel in half a year by just cutting out salty food from my diet and doing pushups.
I had bad wrist pains using a controller for like more than 30 minutes for years and I started doing basic grip strength training and it's like 90% gone away.
I think I sprained my left wrist like a year ago and it didn't heal right. Should I get a brace or go to a doctor? My wrist hurts really bad only at max ROM, so lifting heavy things kind of hurts. I have resistance bands that I do wrist curls and sup/pronation twists with, and that seems to help a bit but the pain always comes back if I take a break for a day.
>I had an injury and I'm in pain should I go to a doctor
moron
I don't have insurance and I don't want to pay 200 dollars for a doctor to tell me that I need a wrist brace when I can buy one on Amazon for 15 bucks.
American moment
you are a good amerigoylem.
you pay high taxes and have no freedoms
>this is what amerigoylems believe.
you are being trained well by the israelites.
lmao the fricking israelites are exactly why the 'free' healthcare around here is so shit, you can frick right off
I play guitar in a thrash metal band and im 35
Your just weak
>29
Bro it's over for you, old man.
I'm 30 and had my spine fused last year
Instructions unclear, got tennis elbow instead.
i got carpal tunnel symptoms at around 29, adopted some excercises and adjusted how i use the computer at work and the symptoms went away.
It bothers me when someone begins to deteriorate and does nothing to halt the process. Fat people fricking mystify me once the initial disgust has passed.
skill issue
i'm 38 and have been at a computer 14 hours a day since like 2000 and genetics have beeb more of an issue than cts or rsi
your body knows what to do, listen to it
