Hello everyone,

I just wanted to share this, because I am definitely not the only one here who had/has wrist problems. I thought I have carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS), because I spent too much time playing osu! in the past weeks. My doctor said that it is NOT CTS, it is just a simple nerve disorder on my neck.

I'm not saying that you can't have CTS, nor you should play with hand numbness, but before attempting suicide, because we can't click circles anymore you should meet a doc, it can turn out better than you'd think!


PS: Sorry if I am wrong here...

This is true. There are a few things other than CTS that can cause wrist pain/numbness/tingling. But even though you might not have carpal tunnel syndrome, there is a high chance it was either triggered or worsened by playing too many computer games and just sitting down for too long in general. Yoga, or just general stretching and exercise should do you wonders

This thread.

Everyone shouldn't just outright say they have CTS if they haven't been diagnosed. I have had CTS for 4 years. I've gone through surgery because I didn't think my CTS was 100% shitty either. So if anyone ever has had numbness or pain, please take a break accordingly. CTS isn't fun to have and it can ruin your life. It is overly expensive and I'm still paying the surgery off + I'm actively in therapy.

So yeah most definitely no self diagnosing and do see a doctor lol
