    Sore right hand


    For quite some time now my right hand and right pointer finger are pretty sore. It all started when I started spending dozens of hours a week for several weeks straight playing PC games. Even after resting it for a week or so it was still equally as sore. I went to the doctor and he told me it's not carpel tunnel. I asked him "well then what is it?" He said to just rest it. So i rested it for a week, still sore, another week goes by, still sore, rested another week, still just as sore. Anyone else ever had this problem?

    It is called RSI, Repetitive Strain Injury, and can have serious consequences.

    Some info;

    You can find more info on the web if required. Take it seriously and rest. You can also use some special ointments which will relieve the pain. They mostly contain small amounts of Diclofenac, There are lots of brands.This one is good;

    What Mike said I get RSI nearly all the time, but it passes by in a day or two.
    I think you may be in the wrong place for asking these questions, but if we know the answer then we might as well :)

    I concur with what Mike said about Voltaren.
    Have used the cream on many occassions and has helped me heaps.
    When you get to my age, aches and pains are a normal way of life, but to get some relief is great.
