Hand urge

[N1k23]

I was discussing this with my mate earlier, do any of you computer geeks out there get an urge to 'click' your wrists, we think it maybe to do with being on the pc a lot of the time, anyone get this?

 

[ríomhaire]

yes actualy, and my ankles.

 

[CrazyHarij]

Yeah.. Damn computers are chronically damaging every single one of us.

Anyone know anything that soothe and maybe heal this kind of stuff?

I'm on laptop so I can't show you, but I will have webcam later, and will show you what I mean.

Is that the same thing as crack or pop?

I bend my wrist so that the palm of my hand goes towards my forearm, but to stretch not to crack

Haha, I don't know why, but looking at those are hilarious!

 

[ríomhaire]

I push my hand forward and then back, out of habit.

 

[Shodan]

Its like a habit now, my neck, hands, wrists are always cracking.

I need to stop this.

 

[Insano]

I never do something like that because I know it's not good for my body. Simple

 

[Sulkdodds]

"Hand urge." I was very reluctant to click this thread.

But anyway, I know what you mean. Only with my knee. First I bust my knee at the school party; then I get shot thrice in the kneecap airsofting; and all the time I'm sitting at my computer and after two hours my knee starts to hurt and I need to go run around the block or something.

 

[Crushenator 500]

I don't... lol

EDIT: oooh sulk, get on msn

 

[Ikerous]

I pop my wrists all the time :O

 

[Dalamari]

I pop my knuckles all the time, and sometimes my neck

 

[Tr0n]

My hands shake sometimes or sometimes I will constantly move my "wasd" fingers.

 

[Ennui]

/me is going to be paranoid about this all the time now

 

[IonizeMyAtoms]

I bend my wrist so that the palm of my hand goes towards my forearm, but to stretch not to crack

That's exactly what I do, I thought it was just some habit, although I do the same thing with my feet

I do the exact same ones as you.

 

[Murray_H]

Haha I do the same with my feet too......

.......brother :O

 

[mortiz]

I think I might have RSI, it's not in my wrists but in my neck. Like at the top of my neck where it leads into my jaw it's like a muscle is stretched and can be quite paineful when I'm eating.

 

[Dalamari]

My big toe on either foot I can crack any time at all, it's wierd, and I have the same thing with my middle fingers.

 

[Raziaar]

I still don't know what you guys are talking about.

What exactly do you mean?

Me... I pop my thumbs as many times as I want... it becomes a bad habit.

 

[joule]

I don't have any urge to do any 'popping' or 'cracking'. But I will say that I do have occasional sudden urges, mostly during long periods of playing HL2: DM, to hold my hand (index and thumb) to my nose and inhale. Don't ask me. I haven't a clue.

I remember EGM had a whole feature in one issue on hand stretches and such to extend your life at the PC or console. It was a really excellent feature. I try to undergo all of the stretches daily and I haven't had any problems. Maybe if sitting at the pc for a whole DAY but otherwise, i'm just fine. And I sit with both my feet ON my chair, with leg in a cross legged position, and the other bent with my knee to my face :rolling:

Also, buy a good quality wireless mouse and don't sit at your computer unless you need to. I do it all the time. My pc monitor is positioned directly accross the side of my bed, and if i'm just listenening to music or browsing the web (not forum browsing though) I just kick back and lie on my bed.

[Raziaar]

Are you guys talking about 'carpal tunnel syndrome'?

I am not familiar with the term RSI. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome I am.

I am borderline, meaning I could get it at any moment, with my years and years of typing. I try to ease off of it, whenever I start to feel pains.

 

[mindless_moder]
