tips for eyes and wrists health?

is this Sup Forums culture or a shitposting thread?

I dunno, look away every 20 minutes to a distant object to give your eyes something to focus on thats farther away to reduce eye strain.

Wrists, keep them level with your keyboard and floor, reduce keyboard elevation, don't always hover them over the keyboard.

mix bleach and vinegar
take a straw and blow bubbles into it
that should fix it

Take a break every hour. Go outside and look at shit from varying distances for a couple minutes instead of a screen all day.

Use your elbow and fingertips more than your wrist.

It's taking care of your temple, so that you can enjoy your hobby without pain like those who didn't.

>tfw herniated disk + pirriformis syndrome

unlike* those who didn't.

anyone know what kind of chairs are the ones that have like knee support or something like it?

That picture.

>not having a PC hooked to a TV and playing vidya on the couch

Even still you might be sitting on the couch slouching - which weakens the core and forces your back muscles to take up the work when you are doing activity and leads to back pain

Or your neck might be in the wrong position and leads to soreness and neck pain in the future.

I don't have any graphics for proper couch sitting though.

Funny thing is for my pirriformis syndrome, sitting on a couch or any soft cushioned seat is an invitation to instant pain in my hip and legs. So not everyone has that luxury.

>standing for extended periods fucks up your knees
>sitting for extended periods fucks up your back
What the fuck am I supposed to do? Hover?

Wow thanks user it actually worked.

rapidly change between positions before the debuffs are triggered.

thanks


this got me off cigarettes

I sit like Roadhog in a beanbag chair

alternate

Just like you are supposed to do with sitting posture-

Alternate from 90 degrees, to 135 degrees to somewhere in between, every half hour or so, and get up every half hour too, walk around a bit and then sit down.

Moderation and shit, the important thing is to not put too much pressure on your disks for too long a time - like say sitting at 135 degree angle for 3 hours, instead of sitting at 135 then changing it to 90 after an hour or so.

>What the fuck am I supposed to do? Hover?

...

...

>lean back against the chair's slope myself
>very conscious of posture since a fag at work called me hunchbaked
>when leaned so far back have to slide chair under desk really close to monitor to reach keyboard
>ruin eyes

Monitor should always be arms length away from you, and your eyes

Also eye level and shit at top of monitor

I need a list of recommended chairs to help with posture. The chair my apartment came with is built like a rocker and I want to replace it.

>you're sitting wrong

FUCK OFF ALREADY AND LEAVE ME ALONE

now this is podracing

Your disks are important faggot

You will suffer bitch, there will be no reprieve in your torture. The outside world hates you and with god as my witness, I will make damn sure the inside world does too.

my lower back fucking hurts whenever I go to bed, every night, it wakes me up constantly. its probably already fucked. it even started after I started taking care of my back

how to have proper human posture:
step 1. look at a youngling, look at how they do not sit in chairs
step 2. do not sit in chairs anymore, sit like the younglings do
step 3. perfect human posture achieved, congratulations, enjoy your long and healthy life

...

>tfw drive for work

There's no hope for me.

wheres my lightsaber and helmet then

turn down monitor brightness. it's probably at max right now.

You're going to regret shitposting when you're in your 60s and you can't stand up straight anymore.

bitch i just told you
we "advanced" too far

if you want it to be like a long, long time ago, you need to get back to the past, get in touch with our natural instincts again

sometimes to go forward you have to turn around and take the right god damn path

>going to

also, recommend me some chairs that aren't shitty office chairs.

>barely have gone outside in years
>couldnt even jog around the block when i tried to exercise
>extreme back pain just trying to walk anywhere

the back pain though, i've had since before i got super fat, super fat by my standards, i used to be a seal candidate and in military working on spec ops base, and like i could out PT everyone in my entire ship easily and even still now when i work out i lift 300+ lbs regularly while doing like 100 reps

but man, no matter how much weight i was, i always had back pain, just always. even when i was under weight, its probably due to OP because i am always at my computer like 24/7 even when i was in the military i had a laptop and would sit there every night playing new game releases

Don't worry. Your eyes won't get ruined just by being close to the monitor or looking at it for extended periods of time.

More planking. Let your other muscles try to take over some of the work.

For wrists, make sure
1. you have a good keyboard, a shit keyboard can fuck up your wrists more than you think
2. your elbows are bent around 90 degrees while typing, so your wrists are straight, make sure your chair is adjusted to the correct height to allow this, or get a proper desk
3. you do NOT type with what they teach as "perfect typing form" with your fingers planted on the home row 24/7 and such. just freestyle it when typing for good hand and wrist health, keeping your wrists and fingers in static positions for too long will fuck your shit up

Did you ever get an MRI?

Mine diagnosed my L5-S1 herniation, no back pain though, its all in the hip and legs/feet

>no one has posted THAT gif yet
im not impressed Sup Forums

I always do

>Women cut off their tits to deal with this.

>think my left ball hurts a bit
>start a carefully examination
>realize it's not really my ball, but like inside my leg/hip joint, not really sure
I don't know how to explain this to a doctor.

this reminds me of..

show him your post

Not an English speaker, and I don't want him to laugh.
That's why health threads on \V\ are my only hope.

>horrible pain in sides every day for weeks/months
>think I'm dying of some liver disease
>doctor says it's my posture
>keep shitty posture
>pain suddenly vanishes

some of it could be in your head too.

nah my core muscles are insanely good
i do that planking stretch/exercise for minute - minute and a half pre-workout everyday
nah i have like what doctor described, semi-flat feet. like no matter the amount of work im doing, just like after X amount of hours my back just fucking goes to shit and im in extreme agony , like if you've ever been in so much pain that your sweating profusely and have to take a knee and feel like your going to throw up, thats how i felt every day at the job i tried to work at and now how i feel if i like even try to jog for a minute

>mfw I have a bulging disc in my spine and sciatica pain
Just cut my lef off senpai

I don't need a spine.

The top of your monitor is supposed to align with your eye-line.

Ha, the top of my monitor aligns with my fucking adam's apple.

Any office chairs that you'd guys would recommend? I've never had a good one before.

Really go to the doctor it can be nerve issues. That is how mine stared

>sciatica

Why was man cursed to feel this terror on this good Earth.

Why do discs have to herniate.

lie down

>the top of my monitor aligns with my fucking adam's apple
the fuck? Why would you have it so low?

for how long?

>Look at TV not that far away
>Text is kind of blurry
>Can still read it but not s easy as it should be
>All text at a distance is blurry

I really should go get my eyes checked.

The #1 cause of eye strain: trying to read OP's image.

For those who don't know what sciatica is, you've obviously never felt it, hope that you never do.

pain from greatest to least

1.back
2.chest
3. crotch
4. lower jaw
5.stomach
6.head
7.everything else

I hate that I can't sit in some chairs or walk for 20+ mins. I wish I could get surgery already

>tfw severe CMT is JUSTing my spine, feet and hands to the point where I had to re-type this a few times just to get it out.

At least its not parkinsons or something that kills you, but I hate being a fucking hunchback and typing like a Russian.

I tried my best to find a larger version, as far as I know none exists.

Sometimes we must make do what we have to make do with.

>go to the gym regularly
>suddenly no more back pain ever
its not hard you neckbeards

Yeah you should get glasses asap
When eyes start deteriorating, they deteriorate faster over time. They already are very deteriorated in your case. In two years, 3 if you're lucky, you won't be able to recognise faces up to 5 meters (16 foot) or differenciate humans / pole at night if they are farther away than 30 meters (98 foot)

Go seek medical help. Even if you never go out, which is without a doubt the case (if it wasn't you'd have told me how you can't read signs in the streets instead of talking about your TV), you'll get to a point where everything on your monitor will be blurry.
And it won't take that long in your case.

I should start doing this.

are they cheap?

>see kinda blurry
>nah just too early in the morning
>keep seeing blurry
>nah I must be tired
>keep seeing blurry
>nah must I'm sleepy
Started using glasses exactly a week ago, pic related was me before trying to read text on a computer screen.
Holy shit, and I thought my eyes were okay.

...

what do you do at the gym to stop back pain? Is it something I can do at home? I can't spare the $25/week

while we're on the subject, can anyone else hear past the first?

I can't.

youtube.com/watch?v=VxcbppCX6Rk

I read that microdiscectomy might not help and could lead to worse or no better symptoms

The thought of undergoing back surgery and waking up with the familiar pain still there fucking terrifies me.

It's the hardest decision of my fucking life and I have no idea what to do.

Finding good advice on Sup Forums is like looking for corn in a mound of shit, you gotta know what's legit and what's not.

Well Sup Forums?

>health threads and porn threads on Sup Forums will always be better than actual video game threads

Do you sometimes wish it's the other way around?

was the same for me, so I went and got glasses. I still cant wear them at the computer though or they give me massive headaches

>you won't be able to recognise faces up to 5 meters (16 foot) or differenciate humans / pole at night if they are farther away than 30 meters (98 foot)

Shit, I think that's me already.
I know it was using a smartphone in bed at night. I used to have great vision, but then I started reading shit on a 4" screen in the dark. Fucking destroyed my eyes totally.

LUMBAR

5 years ago when shitposting was max and video games were still good, yes.

Now when video games are shit, It's nice to see off topic really.

>stand up straight

wow, great advice!

Forward head but I have very little curvature to my lower back, it feels stiff as fuck and doesn't have that S curve in the lumbar region, or its very slight.

But its not Kyphosis, I don't know what it is.

someone post the gif already

they must have amazing videogame threads on /fit/

My doctor said the same thing. Really sucks

My right shoulder is lower than my left because I liked using those messenger bags. Only noticed like, last year. Guess I put too much shit in them, might have been too heavy.

Why? We're all the bitter souls of spoiled fruit in a bowl of trite when it comes to video games, but it is our common ground in which to discuss new interests, such as in people fucking each other or good posture.

Otherwise we are the insane cat ladies of video games. Sup Forums would be best embracing its destiny instead of shirking it. /vg/, /vr/ are there to dip into when you need that discussion, but Sup Forums should live its true form as a gentleman's club, a fellowship of video game enthusiasts who have retreated to enjoy the good company of one another, not the furious vitriol of our endeavour.

Speak for yourself, I've had the best videogame discussion ever on Sup Forums threads and Sup Forums threads alone.

I tip my fedora to you, LIKE A SIR

Careful, Sup Forums gets extremely passive aggressive if you insult the meme culture.

mustards and their scoliosis

WAKE ME UP INSIDE

WAKE ME FROM THIS NIGHTMARE

SOMEBODY POST THE GIFS PLEASE

>tfw manlet
>tfw lordosis only makes it worse

Oh please, don't get me wrong by believing I think we should never discuss the good hobby that we all share, I just personally believe that Sup Forums exists in its greatest form when it forgets this need to follow a rigid existence of self-flagellating self-loathing fury directed at one another over opinions.

I've had a lot of pretty good threads on Sup Forums, both about and with little to do with video games. They do best when Sup Forums forgets to hate itself for its failures or self-conciousness. I am simply suggesting it let itself go, relax the belt buckles a bit and enjoy life.

This?

>tfw have MS and Skin cancer
>Will die in the middle of the Wikihow autism OC era
well at least I can die rarughing

Yeah thanks that's it but I remember there being a lot more.
