In case you are wondering why I haven't posted in over two weeks, I got injured! Not through sports, or an accident, or a failed kidnapping attempt of Jeff Hickman so we could live out Grimnir's comic. Nope, nothing exciting. I got injured by my blasted computer.
Apparently its called RSI – Repetitive Stress Injury – which can occur from lots of things, but actions such as typing and mousing use a lot of the same muscles in your hands repeatedly, which over time, can build up stress on your arms and cause injury. And since I code most of the day and then often put in extra time playing games or browsing the web, my computer use is probably a little beyond excessive.. perhaps I had it coming =p
Anyways, the point of sharing my little story is apparently this could have all been avoided if I had just stopped using my computer for a few days when this first started occurring. But since originally it was just a dull ache that persisted when I tried to work or play, I ignored it… until a few weeks later when it started causing sharp shooting pains up my arm, and by then it was too late. Now I must minimize my computer time for another week or two to rest my hands so they recover, so I won't be playing or posting much in the meantime, but I'll be back =)
So, learn from the little gobbo's pain and if your hands start hurting, don't ignore it! take a few days off!

Ouch! I was wondering where ya went. Take it easy Naz, the games will be here when ya get back. Might be a good time to get some sun :p
Ouch indeed
Get well!
Ouch sorry to hear that. Hopefully it's not too serious and you're not kept away from work too long.
I've been battling RSI for a long time myself. Not in the manner you have it, but more tightness that creates a very painful, uncomfortably sore wrist. Taking a break and wrist braces help. But I've found stretching my wrist out and, oddly enough, a 1lb weight to exercise my wrist do the most good. Good luck and here's to it not developing into serious carpal tunnel syndrome on you.
That sucks man! Time to catch up on various seasons of random TV shows! 😛
