For those in the COD4 world who have been wondering where I went, I didn't go anywhere. Apparently, gaming has done some damage to my arms, especially the mouse hand - right flexor muscle is bad. I have tendonitis. Just started an inflammatory perscription. I'm a professional clarinetist and MUST keep these babies in good condition or I'll lose the ability to play. So... I have to take a break. Not sure how long. Been over a month since I've been on the servers....miss it a LOT! Not sure how long...or what it'll be...or what the plans are, but I'm waiting to see how well it heals. Gaming is the #1 culprit - I am...er hehe a bit INTO IT, ya know!... So...if it gets all healed up, I'll look into arm braces - weird things that clip onto the desk and hold your forearms in good positions to take away tension/etc. But it's gonna be a few months until the soft tissue heals. We OLD farts - 40 plus years - don't heal up easily...takes a long time for soft-tissue and connective tissues to go back to normal..if at all. So..working on it...sorry... will keep up in here and XFIRE...but will probably not be playin' for a while. TOTALLY understood if folks want tags removed..or what have you... I leave it to the power that be! Just hangin' right now. Cyas on Facebook and the forums. Best, Mummm PingLo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I had some BP medication that exacerbated this, even had a Cortizone shot until finally realized what was causing it. Once off, my gaming scores improved a bunch.

I'm actually allergic to cortizone...or I should say...it's like drinking 100 cups of coffee all at once. Can't do that..or anything like Claritin D - good old pseudophedrine, but...time-release....wow...killer! Don't think the drugs are doing much, but I'm getting a brace. I think the brace might allow me to play again...we'll see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Got the private message about new rules. If it's required, I'll remove my tags/etc. and re-apply if/when I get my arms fixed. I don't want to misrepresent anything or anyone. I just can't play...and actually typing THIS is difficult...or rather...I'm going to pay for typing it shortly with some pain. So....would rather...well...hard to post stuff when typing physically hurts. Hell, I type at over 100 wpm, so...it's fast...but it's painful. Mousing is much worse than typing, though. All annoying stuff. Repetetive stress injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Thought it was from masterbating but realised it was how my arm rested when gaming I changed my desk to suit now i can play for ages without a twinge Yeah..I spent $2,500.00 on a custom desk/storage unit for my little office here...got an Aeron chair - another $900.00 - and even changed out the keyboard tray/etc. NOTHING works. It's just overuse. I HAVE to work...I'd like ta play, but... playing is like 10 times work for my flexor muscle. Ah well. And..it's not 'that arm' so...jerkin' ain't a problem! lol Besides...some married guys actually like their wife! But that's another story. Oh there's also that staying up until 4:30am thing...er...that's kinda... a killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
