Re: I got Carpal Tunnel from FFR!!

lol some of you are really lucky that your Carpal Tunnel and RSI wwent away, those are really serious, if it didnt really go away then you would needed surgery, and even then it might not work. Because when Carpal Tunnel happens, it makes scar tissue in the tendons or wahtever, and in the surgery they try to scrap the scar tissue off, thing is thats just like opening up a cut again, just gonna make more scar tissue.

thats why when i play, if my hands/arms start hurting i just stop.

Try putting som ice on it, it helps alot, but seriously take a break from FFR or youll never be able to use your hands again.

I know, the doctor warned me that if it gets bad I'll need surgery, it really sucks, and generally, Carpal Tunnel does lead to surgery to remove the scar tissure

Re: I got Carpal Tunnel from FFR!!

I usually only play 20-30 songs a day now. I used to play 300-500ish day. Now my wrists hurt and I cant type that fast anymore.

Re: I got Carpal Tunnel from FFR!!

I find it hilarious people can get RSI/Carpal on FFR songs, my wrists are thin as hell but I haven't got anything over 1½ years of playing SM and songs on that aren't like here, if someone played Amber Shores for a good amount of time and near-passing / passing often I might understand their hands are killed in the process.

Hand positioning could be a big deal, I tend to elevate my left hand and keep my right hand resting on the table. Sometimes I elevate both, it feels pretty fluent way to play.

Re: I got Carpal Tunnel from FFR!!

thats impossible.. my hands are fine after 25 billion points.

Re: I got Carpal Tunnel from FFR!!

I will leave my account to someone to take over while I'm resting my hands, who will this person be to take my name? Some one I trust, find just and worthy of doing it (and won't mess with my account and post crap on the forums)


P.S.

I typed this with my good hand, only 1 hand, and I may play FFR when my parents aren't around so that they won't yell at me for wrecking my hand more

i do believe that this is cheating

ps-fuking idiot if youre hurt you rest not go out and play more fuking retard

I could pass Amber Shores every time, not to mention I B'd it once or twice. I also did tons of hard stuff numerous times again and again. Like BB Evolution 1.5+x, BB Revenge 1.5+x, FotS 1.3+x, etc. Doing that for day after day, hour after hour, it's pretty easy to get RSI.

What are you talking about? I used to have tons of files, but I stopped playing ages ago.

Some people play Differently. I play with the keyboard at the edge of the desk and my hand slanting downwards. So Thats why my hands hurt allot.

Well that's what I was trying to say though, I just used Amber Shores as one example (it's nowhere hardest song but the megarolls are funny). With SM hard songs and rates it's indeed easier to get RSI/even carpal, I was just mocking the fact FFR songs cause some to get their hands get wrecked, I play a good deal of different difficulty songs a day and my arms are very thin, maybe on rare occasion I can feel pain for a minute after very intense file but yeah.

PS. I don't think daman knows about SM and thinks you were talking of the otaku tokens on FFR.

Re: I got Carpal Tunnel from FFR!!

If you experience pain when playing, then it's best to change the way you position your hands.

I used to play on a low keyboard where my wrist was perpendicular to my hand. That's not exactly healthy. I had pains in my arm, and my mother almost made me quit (she has carpal tunnel from her work as a mechanic). I moved the keyboard higher and played with my wrists straight, and I haven't had pain like that since then. That was almost a year ago.

Re: I got Carpal Tunnel from FFR!!

Yeah, Lump, it always depends on what style you use. And by that, I mean how hard you press the keys and how much wrist you put into it.

But generally, FFR isn't hard enough to require major wrist actions; only on a handful of songs. SM nearly DEMANDS a death sentence for your wrists. Everyone is like, "Play fast songs and jacky songs all day and get good passes and AAs!!!" rather than, "Go for the quads on easy songs and SDPs on JS and stream files!"
