Stupid wrist/hand/elbow/shoulder pain! |
 |
1 | |
MEH My joints are whack, my mousing wrist definitely has some kind of carpal tunnel going on. Thing is it disrupts me and "hurts most" when I'm grinding poker, and it bothers me less when I am playing a videogame. I don't click nearly as much when I'm playing poker as when I'm playing a video game (ie 600 hands/hour in poker vs 30-1hour games on hon at 100APM). I don't get it. Am I just more zoned into the videogame and I power through it more easily? I dunno, but it really disrupts my poker grind.. its legitimately very uncomfortable.. I really want to know what to do about it 
Well in other news, I have seldom felt like myself for like 14 months now. I've just broken down a lot from where I used to be mentally and my ability to be comfortable and confident. My failure to move up at poker and my not giving myself any other outlets for improving myself has ground me down to a shell of what I ought to be. And honestly I feel like I should at least, physically, be in the best shape of my life, because these are my prime years where 30 years from now I want to be able to look back and be happy with what kind of mischief I was upto.
And it isn't that I'm unhappy with poker, really its not about poker exactly, its about having a balance in my life. And I feel like something that will really help me get my head right again, for everything, is to get physically active. I'm going to set up my gym membership and call a tennis coach on Tuesday (have stuff to do monday). I really need to change things up because I feel so damn numb and, far from my previous ambitious self, I haven't been able to work myself up to grind like I ought to, or even think of the future as having any hope. And that sucks.
My joints are seriously whack though.. :/

I´m using a trackball since about 2 years and have had no more problem with carpal tunnel. I got tilted like 2 days ago and smashed it against my desk really hard and it stopped working, tried to masstable with my spare logitech laser mouse and had to stop cause i´m so used to the trackball.
note: managed to fix my trackball by dissasembling another logitech mouse and desolder some parts from it, can´t buy trackball where i live.

ive been using this with great success on and off, and my mom can't do without it. look at the reviews, most people get complete relief from joint pain with the right dosage and it's completely natural. |

fuck I should just sell some of my Pokemon cards, if no one stakes that is what I will have to do - lostaccount | |

a) how old are you? as you get older stretching and working out become more and more important
(a personal side note for me is fuck a gym membership - I've found it's much better to take a pass on the monthly bill in a box and easier to get in the groove to just go outside or find many free and natural ways that you like to do to get active and stay in shape)
b) your chair and posture are critical - try to note how you are seated when you grind vs when your playing a video game
c) learn to grind poker left handed - this will slow you down but you could find out like I did that it actually helps your poker game because you are forced to take a little bit more time
d) as the cleaner said, get a trackball - I've always wanted to go back to trackball as it is indeed awesome but I can never find one with enough buttons so I've stuck with my VX revolution |

I got myself an Evoluent Vertical mouse a couple of years ago and it did the trick for me. Feels like you've never used a mouse before for the first couple of weeks, but it was worth learning. |

haha yah PU 'n mipwnya, gotta get some competency for those props yo.. Q you need to wear shoes when we play 
I like the gym, I want to weight train and put on a little bit of size.
I desk and chair set up kind of suck, but there's not much I can do about it until I make some cash :/
Loco that MSM and glutomine stuff does seem to help me actually. I just ran out so I need to pick some up for sure.
I'm familiar with the use of trackballs but I never really considered getting one for myself.. maybe.. >< |
