Hey all, I anticipate I'm calling this alliance a bit advanced than I planned to because I've been acquaintance cubital adit affection and I anticipate the way I've been arena POE has been exacerbating it. Cubital adit is array of the adverse of carpal tunnel: It's the avidity of the ulnar nerve, which runs through the elbow, and leads to affliction and asleep in your ring and pinky fingers. In my case, I've had a armchair that I THOUGHT was adequate to my gaming, but its armrests in actuality led me to angular heavily on my elbows, exacerbating this issue.
Obviously my own habits are to blame, not the game, additional I sit at a board autograph all day for a job too and beddy-bye in the exact amiss positions. But I just capital to analysis in and see if anyone abroad has had challenges with either carpal or cubital adit affection and see what acceptable solutions y'all accept activate so I can get aback into Wraeclast soon! I'd be decidedly absorbed in any chair, keyboard, and added ergonomic choices you may accept fabricated that plan decidedly able-bodied for you.
I've had my aboriginal besom with repetitive ache if i did my aboriginal 100 a few leagues ago. It got so bad in my duke and acquaint that at one point i couldnt even use a browser.
I fabricated a ton of changes:
- I repositioned my awning college (neck was hardly angled down).
- I readjusted the acme of my chair(i was acknowledging a lot of my slouching weight on my accoutrements and shoulders).
- I added added to my armrests so that my elbows are 90 degrees if im captivation the abrasion and keyboard.
- Started demography approved breach if i could feel my easily and or accoutrements get tired.
- Regularly paying absorption to if im slouching, and re-adjusting my sitting position and how i about-face my weight in my chair.
- Started addition my easily every hour or so (from a yourube video answer duke contest for gamers).
None of these changes had any cogent aftereffect by thmselves, but the aggregate of all of them has had a aloft appulse on my RSI.
I hit my 2nd 100 this alliance and played awfully added than i did if my rsi started and i've been affliction chargeless the accomplished league.
It took me a ages or two to assuredly aggregate out all the mistakes i fabricated in foreground my my pc and boring afflicted or added locations as i activate problems. It's apparently traveling to yield you a while to acquisition all your mistakes, but if you accouterment them one by one afresh you angle a acceptable adventitious of accepting able to play affliction free.
Good luck man,i apperceive how abounding it sucks to accept to yield a breach due to RSI( abnormally if you accept guilt-free chargeless time that you deceit yield advantage of)
Stay strong. You can do this!
