Hai /fit/

I've been playing computer games too often too long. So now I have this pain in my arm (see pic) whenever I play a fps-type game.

Do you know what it is? 'Cause it's on my left side, the arm I use for the keyboard, so I don't think it's carpal tunnel syndrome.

Thanks

wow..coulndt you be more specific? Is it in your shoulder? your arm? WTF? You draw some squigly lined arrow at a general, non specific part of your arm and give no other indication as to what type of pain you feel or specific details that could help us help you?

go play some counterstrike and die you faggot

I've got pain there too, found out it's tendinitis. Hurts when I wake up usually (cause I sleep on it).

It's boneitis, and it's terminal. I'm sorry.

It's RIGHT where the arrow POINTS.
Between two muscle groups. I included a pic right where it hurts.

And the pain is an aching pain. Don't know how else to describe it. It only appears when playing games.

how long do you sit there playing these fucking useless games? are there any ergonomic issues? are you eating cheetos while playing?
>> Anonymous
1 h max. It starts to hurt after about 15 minutes.
And no, I sit upright, I have an ergonomic keyboard (natural ergonomic keyboard over 9000) but I don't know if I have the most ergonomic position tho...

Now that I think about it, my elbows are
not in the resting position, but slighty elevated.
Any good guides how to sit correctly out there?

try resting your wrist or arm on something, rather than keeping it elevated. It almost seems like your delt is what's the problem.

What does it do if you take a break every 14 minutes?

The problem is that, when it has started aching it won't stop for at least an hour or so. Making breaks pretty useless.

And my keyboard has a palmrest, so I am resting my arm on it, but it seems that this isn't enough.

Pic related, it's my keyboard

Did you fall for the "ergonomic keyboard" gimmick? shame on you.

Off topic: But the palm rest is oh-so-nice :)
And it has a scroll thingie in the middle, which is really nice when you are browsing webpages

or you could just use a scroll wheel on your mouse
since that seems more piratical then scrolling with a keyboard

Sure they did. You're like those little Dvorak faggots who think it makes them type faster. Anyone who can't use a regular keyboard without injury is too retarded to be typing.
