pottypotty Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Hi, I am potty. Been inactive for a long time, I just hope one or two remember me. I have just started playing ET again today and I need some advice. Due to my advancing years, ai am starting to ache quite a bit... Particularly in my right shoulder and mouse hand. Is there anyone that has had time away from computer games and come back to the same sorta issues? I have tried a few office chairs and 2 mice. Nothing seems to work. Maybe it's time I pass my computer down to my son, even though he wastes his gaming time on fortnite. Anyway, hello all I hope to see you in game soon. P.S YOU LOT NEED TO USE VOICE CHAT MORE ON DISCORD! potty 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in UK potty? potty200? Chair is great for aiding posture and comfort, but honestly you need a decent stretching regime. Gym work out, hand stretches, yoga, pilates or one of those percussion gun and it will make the world of difference! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pottypotty Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 I made the switch from a deathadder to the g506 like just before I stopped playing. Love the mouse. The palm of my hand feels like its got a knife in it after like2-3 maps though. And yes, its potty200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captnconcrete Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) it is how your thumb is resting . i am 45 been a concrete finisher for 25 plus yrs i get massive arthritis pain in my hands . i use copper gloves . and epsom salt soak . but in your case its the way the mouse sits in your hand and how your fingers rest. id suggest a steelseries mouse there the most comfortable ive used . are you using a wrist riser pad that might help also.

Outlaw23 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I used to have a gaming chair, and I switched to a regular office chair. I did this because the gaming chair was hurting my back and putting me in a mild, sloped position (hunchback) which is not good for the body & mind (I'm in my late 20s). Another thing that helps is doing 1-2 hours of exercise per day including some form of weightlifting (heavy). This strengthens your body and mind, and anyone can begin at any age. It also prevents numerous health issues. If there is a persistent problem, it's best to visit your doctor. Best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
