PSA: Rogues/Bards/Monks and carpal tunnel...
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Since playing my rogue I started getting a tingling sensation in my left arm. Figured it was nothing at first, just something that would go away. Turns out I picked up carpal tunnel syndrome. How? Pressing 1 consistently when my backstab was close to refreshing, and doing that for every backstab in a 3-4 hour session for lots of sessions [You must be logged in to view images.

It develops due to repetitive muscle strain, try to rest your hand a different way or remap shit so you can lay your hand down different for a few hours.

Personally I saw screw mashing backstab when it's close to refreshing; I just wait for it to refresh. This means my DPS is a little worse but oh well!

took me like 5 years of barding before developping it.
Mine's severe though, on waiting list for surgery (they basically cut your wrist's nerves and re-attach it) there's a reason i switched mains and sacced my bard heh also you can feel pain and symptoms just from every day computer useage such as surfing / typing / moving mouse | ||

I'm going to the doctor soon for my mouse wrist. I don't think I have carpal tunnel, but I believe I have a small cyst that's been irritated by the constant rotating the mouse to move in circles. My wrist has been feeling pretty sore over the past two weeks.
I had a cyst removed on my other wrist a few years ago, and the symptoms seem somewhat similar (I've had some others removed from random places.) I'm not super thrilled to have it removed because I won't be able to use my wrist at all for a few weeks/a month.
