Kane99 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Have you ever dealt with pain from gaming? Either it be from just getting old or having issues with arthritis, or sitting too long. I remember playing track and field on the nes with just the controller. Didn't know back then that it used a mat that you'd stand on. I remember getting a massive blister because I was masshing the controller too much lol. Other than that, I get eye strain. But my thumbs have hurt sometimes before. But I think that's more with the controller itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 My thumbs would hurt back when Gran Turismo games had more Test Course races in them. You don't have to brake for the corners at Test Course and you don't even have to lift off of the throttle, so your thumb doesn't get a rest. It's like the Talladega 500 in real life, but with thumbs instead of a right foot on the gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that the Xbox one controller for example, the trigger buttons sometimes hurt my fingers. So that could be another issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Why do I get to stand up playing game at one point in time? It's as a result of getting cramp from sitting down for too long playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 What I'll do is if I've been playing for a while, maybe I'll pause the game and go look at some model cars, or grab a soda or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted January 4, 2022 Author Share Posted January 4, 2022 Have you guys ever had to deal with any pain because of guitar hero and other instrument games? I remember cramping up when I used to play guitar hero. It's why I rarely went up difficulty, because I couldn't handle the additional button.

skyfire Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Pain from gaming playing with those controllers and even the mobile these days ? yes. Same with wii based stuff where you have to do those things to play. Too much of anything ... as they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 If you can add gaming frustration pain to the list of pains once get in gaming, them I'm definitely getting a lot of pains aside from the hardware inflicted pains and sitting cramps and all.

If you play too much, it may affect your eyes if you are too close to the TV and possibly give you cramps, or make you fatigue etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree with you on this one because when you overdo things, it tends to bite back at you. I can remember getting my thumb 👍 injured at one time.

Head_Hunter Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 If I force my hands much on the controller trying to get quicker response either playing soccer game or an adventure/action game, that's when I'll start feeling discomfort in my wrists, which shows I've hurt myself.

It was one of the consoles I remember playing and cramping up because of the controller. Also, I imagine the constant motion caused cramping as well.
