Thread 713416876

My wrist hurts so I've been thinking about buying pic related to use with my left hand.
Is this a good idea? Anything else I could buy to fill the consumerism void in my soul?

How does your wrist hurt from using a controller?

>>713416982
he could be playing God Hand on hard

>>713416982
I'd like to know that too but whether I use controller or keyboard my left hand goes numb in like 5-15 minutes of gameplay, it sucks.
And I also wake up with my left hand numb.

God Hand on "hard" just locks your rank to Level Die it doesn't make the game any harder.

demons spawn more so it would require more button mashing

Sure you haven't popped a disc?

>>713417564
It's possible, but somehow expect it to be carpal tunnel or something nerve related. Getting wrist compress today if I can find one, makes gaming annoying as there's always that pins and needles feeling.

>And I also wake up with my left hand numb.
I get that with my right hand if I sleep on my right side. I don't get it with the left, I think my right arm is just positioned slightly differently

>>713418314
Doesn't seem to matter for me, it's always the left hand, years of sleeping left hand under the pillow did its work I guess. Unironically over.

>>713417908
Yeah it probably is a nerve being compressed, the usual spots for this are either the wrist, elbow or the disc.

yea bro

Here's hoping the wrist compress helps, I've tried some exercise from Youtube but those only help momentarily.

>>713418995
Eehh, the compress can help if it's an issue with something inflammatory in your wrist. It can also make it worse because it compresses the nerve even more or do nothing if the issue isn't the wrist. I'd start with putting my hand on a pillow during sleep, keeping it over heart level and check if that helps with the morning numbness.

I'll give that a try too, thanks. Might have to get it examined if this keeps up, it's been several months at least now and feels like it's getting worse.

>>713416876 (OP)
Instead of getting alternative controllers to basically bypass/ignore the problem you should probably look at what is causing it in the first place. Could be as simple as fixing your posture/chair

>>713419597
I got Herman Miller Mirra 2 like 3 weeks ago and it's one of the worst chairs I've ever had. I had theory too that it's armrests and posture that are causing it but alas, now my wrist AND wallet hurts.

>>713417156
Carpal tunnel damage? If so, stop fapping, stop playing games for a while, let that damn thing heal. Maybe some stretches at the most, I wouldn't want to use that hand for anything much else.
The more you fuck around using that wrist for anything, the more likely the damage will be permanent.

Also buying that thing in the OP post wouldn't change shit, it's still going to use the same muscles and tendons as a regular controller

>>713420147
The thing is, I never use my left hand for fappan. I do use it for gaming, typing etc. though.

You're right, maybe I'll skip it but on the other hand it could be nice with FPS games to have analog stick + mouse setup.
