<cooller> pain is weakness leaving the body.

awesome quote, originally from...?

idiot :(

im canadian :o

it's an ad slogan for the us marines... not too awesome in my world :d

Yeah I've had my arm get tired from using a low sens. I started using accel.

Most of the time I have leg troubles from crossing my legs etc.

Had the same problem with legs, bought higher chair and problem has gone.

sit back relaxed and back straight - hold ur mouse sif it was a tube of toothpaste, squeeze too hard and it gushes.

I get like a stabbing/burning pain in my right shoulder at the back, since when I play i sit forward and grip my mouse far too hard, when I track I tense up all over etc.. not good ;)(

Trying to play more relaxed, doubled my sens and took accel off, working so far...

I have that problem, but the hospital found out that the atlas-bone aka the upper neck bone is out of position, and its punishing a nerve so I have a constant pain in my right shoulder and the right side of the neck.

Conclusion: Jobs arent healthy.

Since u already play with the whole arm on table, it might be a problem with chairheight/tableheight, and the back rest of ur chair.

Try to put the back rest more forward, so that ur upperbody get stabilized in a straight position.

Try to find a comfortable way to play, check above comments. I have occasionally similar problems, I solved it by raising my sensi, not sitting in a forward bended way, sitting and holding the mouse more relaxed.

The pain is a warning. Listen to it.

I refer to search in Google for computer ergonomics: http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&...55d33693fe

or as first good looking result, check that link: http://www.klis.com/computers+health/

Stop pulling your shoulders upwards unconsciously. Try to relax your shoulders, keeping them down.(not pressing down)
And stretch your arms from time to time. put heating pad on your (shoulder) muscles. etc.

Use your left hand for a while. If you sit on it for 5 minutes till it goes numb it can be quite fun as well

you pain cos your a sissy bitch, get these http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://...amp;itbs=1

the bar is 10kg on its own, you might just need to lift that for a year

in briton 30kg ironman set cost £40 http://www.sshealthfoods.com/ extra weights cost £5

For the most you're right but I get it sometimes whenever I play at uneven levels and I'm not soft. bench press is 90kg and I do push ups every other day to keep fit and strong.

gym machine bench press, your only lifting 2kg with pullies n shit, barbell bench press you only must do 3 or 4

That doesn't make any sense :D rethink what you wrote and comeback to me :P

gym machines are mad for woman and to make muscle overtime, pull the bar down to lift the wights behind, and 90kg is really around 2kgs,. and can lift alday long

someone who uses a gym machine to make some muscle are all pussies and cant lift a real physical 90kg with a normal barbell benchpress

house music have gym machine users, they are all called gay because they get slapped down

normal barbells are still ghetto, and if you can lift 30-40 X 90kg then your neck would be as wide of your face, and have some pecks for chicks to hold when riding your dick

omg hahaha best post EVER

if you want some brutal muscle, fly like a bird with dumbells with your arms straight

does your whole torso

Swap hands for masterbation leave mouse hand alone? But its posssibly shoulder separation.. Solution: Elbows should be at the same height as they normally hang.. Dont over reach, doing the funky chicken position sucks. Not helping well google DSE and see a physio..

whats your low sens ? 360 move in cm, in ql. What mouse? I've been doing 35-42 cm -ish senses for more thjan 4 years in quake and have never withnessed any arm pain. My arm is touching the table at a point right under my elbow, this results in a slight distance between my lower arm and the table, i hold the mouse with my thumb and pinky and the middle fingers are just touching the buttons of the mouse. The mouse is about 85 grams, its feather light and quite narrow, i hold it with a soft grip, my whole arm is kept in a quite relaxed way, theres 0 stress on it. I could play 20 hours straight if i wanted to.

challenge accepted

same fkg problem, except it's more my left shoulder (keyboard arm) that is suffering becuase it's in the air :O

I use 30.8 cm / 360. My table is about 1.5 inches above my navel. I think my problem is my posture, my right shoulder leans forward when I play and my butt isn't directly at the back of my chair.

Anyway I tried increasing my sense, playing with my arm on the arm rest of my chair, and increasing my sense but I can't aim for shit doing any of these. Is there any chance my shoulder will get used to the soreness and eventually I won't feel the soreness? I can't play in my current state because of the pain :\

Unless you are freakishly tall, your chair height at 25 inches seems too high. Ergonomics sites say your chair seat should be 16 to 21 inches from the floor. Desk height should be about elbow height if not using a tray, 28 inches seems slightly too high.

I just checked, my chair height is ~19 inches, I'm not sure where I got 25. My desk measurement is still the same at 28.5 inches.

My shoulder pain has gotten to the point where I can't play longer than 30 minutes without feeling a stinging sensation. I tried altering my posture but the pain persists. I was thinking that I was gripping my mouse too hard but your post makes me think my desk is indeed too high.

Time to work out?

On a serious note, I had a problem with my shoulder from playing guitar. I also use a low sensitivity and found that something that aggravate it was if my arm wasn't level to the desk (that is, if I was lower then the desk). Similarly if I was too high it'd be a pain

The way I sorted it was just better posture and some acupuncture :P

Hey, Bro. ~2 weeks ago you told the world you had 12 gaming mice to stop tendinitus, now you're telling us you have acupuncture?

Or perhaps you use the 12 gaming mice to cure another injury?
