PSA - please do not play with wrist injuries

A very old gamer here that has recently suffered a wrist fracture. ( I am blaming both Murphy and Newton for the accident.) I thought in my stupidity i could play one game and be fine.

I had to drop out of that game after 3 minutes due the pain I was in.

Yeah just don’t do it, turn on your favorite media streaming service and let your body heal. Don’t be like me and try to ignore injuries, Stay safe everyone.

This never would have happened to you if you were born without wrists.

Think ahead next time

Um… Why would you do that to yourself? Let it heal, it’s just a game…

Blind stupidity on my part plain and simple.

If I turned on my favourite ‘media streaming service’ then my wrist would be far worse…

Ya, I may or may not have Carpal Tunnel. I honestly have no idea until I go to the doctor, but many people don’t realize how serious it is. Any form of wrist injury or disease should be taken seriously. I’m hoping that my wrist is something else, because I don’t wanna give up gaming.

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a wrist injury is a good guy with a wrist injury.

That really sucks, man. Hope you feel better soon.

I wont get this cast off for 6-8 weeks and then physio if needed, no games for 2 weeks at minimum. Doctors orders.

Hey, when a game is your number one boredom killer, it’s really tough to go without. I got my wisdom teeth out and couldn’t stay away from PC games. Well I did for the first few days, but when I went back it literally exhausted me, made me sore, and sent me on a four hour nap. Sigh gaming can truly be an addiction can’t it?

omg Blizz buff wrists.
