I've been so into Persona 5 that my wrist on my right hand has been fucked to hell. I can barely move it anymore, I can't play games for a while, and I'm developing a ganglion cyst too.
I can't be the only one who's had this problem. How do I overcome it?

drink the doctor milk
Go to a specialist and get treatment and then get a wrist brace
Online I read you can apparently just hit the ganglion cysts hard enough to burst it. Is this true?
Example: youtube.com
milk the doctor and drink it
Dude, that might cause complications that make you suffer more. See a professional, get their opinion, follow their directions. Tendinitis also has to be caused by more than just gaming for a marathon session, be honest about how much you game and have a few breaks here and there.
How the fuck do you get tendonitis playing a fucking jRPG?
Yeah Ive got a gangelion cyst too. Not harmful, just see a doctor to drain the fluids every year. Dont use wii waggle stuff though, thats what fucked my wrist up.
i havent played any game for about 6 months now, but about 5 years ago i would play 80hrs a week easily and never developed cysts or problems.

Remember kids. Ergonomics. Use wrist pads, and don't use shitty keyboards and mice. Stretch your arms and wrists.
I have it in my forearm and elbow from lifting weights.
Probably in my wrist too from frequent PC use.
You learn to deal with it. Stretch, rest, wrap etc etc.
do NOT use wrist pads, it is not a bandaid for a bad habit
apply no kind of pressure to the underside of your wrists while moving your digits
What job do you have? That makes a difference. Also, five years is long enough for body conditions to change. Welcome to the ravages of aging.

>somehow a hand injury
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE SEIZURES???
palm rests. then.
Instead of learning to deal with it, you should have been stretching and doing wrist exercises before your shit got fucked.
Having a ganglion cyst is not the same thing as tendonitis. I got a cyst because I got a minor fracture when I was young and it never healed right. Smashing it is stupid and will just lead to the liquid causing an infection. You have to either drain it or get surgery to excise it. I had mine drained but it came back after a year which happens in 80% of cases. So then I got the surgery to have it removed and its been good for 4 years now.
Yeah, I had it on the thumb tendon.
Stop fucking making it worse you idiot. The only cure here is time. Get a cheap brace that will immobilize it. Can find one anywhere. If you must play vidya do it with the brace on and if you feel increased pain afterwards stop.
Tendon injuries are a BITCH to heal. They repair worse than bone. If you don't start taking care of it now you'll be feeling it for the rest of your life. Once the healing gets some momentum look into doing some wrest exercises for tendonitis. Check youtube.
If it really starts bothering you/ you see no improvement see a doctor. Gl
Yep. Could've would've should've. Thanks man, hindsight is 20/20.
I can't change the past, but I can do things to try to minimize the damage.
Ok burst the cyst and let it disperse under your skin. Sounds like a good idea.
ok that's fucking stupid
I get one occasionally, if it's just a ganglion it will go away on its own.
>prople actually develop injuries playing vidya
The future is now
