i did hurt my hand when i banged on my arcade stick due to salt from SFV. i used to own people with chun and juri in USF4 but they are worthless in 5

no, im a huge faggot but im not a low-test beta-autist.

i read that some loser who played pro dota had to sit out of a tournament because of tennis elbow. funniest shit i ever read.
>>
I saw guy get stabbed at an arcade does that count?

>>384960180
Never, not even when I got a Wii and everybody was playing that shit before they made the wiimote condoms. I did recently fuck up my pinky finger while I was unloading a pallet at work (to make it short, don't have a stickbug help you unload it) and I've had to press C to crouch for a couple weeks now. I can't even hold a controller properly these days, but at least my job is footing the medical bill.

claw grip gave me this shit

Playing terran has given me permanent tendonitis in my mouse hand

I have to stretch every day and use a vertical mouse. When it's bad, I sleep with a brace.

The worst part is there's no cure. Doctors prescribe you meme shit that doesn't work, but won't prescribe stem cell injections.

Guitar Hero gave me a little bout of tendonitis in my left hand.

Carpal tunnel in right hand, tennis elbow in left.

I don't regret it. Learned a valuable lesson.

I was trying to grind to grandmaster, and I failed. Really humbled me and made me get my shit together.

I don't know if I got a vidya-related injury before, but I'm pretty certain it's less serious than this guy's vidya-related injury.

My gf in high school broke two of her ear bones while swinging a ps2 controller around.

She actually didn't tell me right away because she knew I'd lose it so I found out about a week later.

I still laugh every time I think about it.

Tendonitis.

Right now, I cant play vidya with my left hand

>>384964519
Between proper stretching and hand exercises, I haven't had it flare up in years. Honestly, if I had just done the stretching prior to playing I doubt I'd of ever had to deal with it.

I literally can't sit down for longer than 30 minutes at a time, I have to get up and walk around.

Maybe if I had a comfier chair I could sit longer

Nope. Most of these conditions can be avoided by having an exercise routine that balances along with vidya which is what I've done pretty much all my life.

I have osteorthritis in my hands. 22 yo male. I don't know how exactly I got it but I guess it's here to stay. Some days it doesn't hurt at all but other days it hurts like hell.

Started getting neck problems just a few months ago which is probably due to my bad posture. I don't blame games 100% but I'm sure they have contributed plenty. The symptoms don't appear as pain but rather discomfort in head and a little weakness in hands. MRI hasn't shown anything so I'm guessing a nerve is getting pinched and a still image won't pick it up.

A friend cut open his palm during Mario Party. It was a minigame that had you spin the control stick to wind something up. The rubber piece came off and the plastic underneath cut a pretty big gash into his palm.

I was playing hard difficulty AI in Mario Party 1 and on the river rafting mini game I ate away the center of my hand until it was raw just doing the joystick against the 3 AI's. I won in the game, but lost in real life.

Sciatica is also easily fixed by just toning your butt which pushes the sciatic nerve over a bit so you don't bother it as much.

Pretty sure I'm coming down with carpal tunnel. Using a mouse or a controller for any amount of time starts my wrist aching and it stays uncomfortable for like an hour after I stop. I don't know what I'm going to do if I have to stop playing video games.
