Question:
I play video games all the time now but yesterday my had started to hurt soo bad like between my thumb and index finger and when i get done playin my thumb twichs and feels numb i can play for like 10 mins and feels that way wat does it mean

Answers:
Sounds like a muscle spasm. Pinch the area between your opposite thumb and index finger. Hard enough to hurt a little, but not so hard that you can't take a deep, smooth breath. Hold it for 30 seconds at a time, ice 20 minutes in between pinchings, and lay off the games until it feels normal.

You can also stretch your thumb backwards, but be careful not to stretch too far or you could injure the connective tissue in your muscle.

Carpal tunnel has been linked to the motion of squeezing your thumb and pinkie towards each other, so be careful with that.

Other Answers:
sounds like a pinched nerve from playing too many video games!

It means stop playing games and do your English homework. carpal tunnel syndrome get it checked out by a Dr. or it will get worse!


may be carpultunnel or really dont know how to spell it but thats how its sounds.


See the answers above, could be may things

Keep playing. It'll go away. depending if ure middle aged or not u shouldconsider askin a doctor.


sounds like you've cramped up your hand. maybe just lay off the games for a day or two.


YOU PLAY GAMES TO MUCH, lay off a wile it will go away

Carpal Tunnel has some different symptoms so I doubt it's that. It's probably a bursitis from overuse of your hand. Try Advil as an anti-inflammatory and stop doing the offending activity for a week, see if it clears up. It's not Carpal Tunnel Syndrome it it hurts between your thumb and index finger. But you should probably lay off the games for a while.


are you doing anything else besides playing video games that mite cause carpel tunnel ?

You have worked that muscle too much. Chill out. Probably a Repetitive Motion Injury from all the video gaming.

could be carpal tunnel syndrome or other specific damage.
Can be nerves, muscles, tendons, or a combination.

use cool to cold compresses - not hot.

FIRST - stop playing for a while.
SECOND - see a doctor, the sooner the better.
depending on the damage, the body may still be able to repair this, but maybe not.


It will not go away by itself if you keep playing. Most of the other answers are good. it means your not placing your thumbs correctly AND THEY BEGIN TO HURT AND SINCE YOU PLAYED IT EVERYDAY FOR A COUPLE OF Days it's doing that switch thing you were talking about keep your thumbs straight whilte pressing buttons and moving those tiny circle things so they wont hurt anymore and your head will hurt because your looking at a virtual screen with virtual stuff half the time and you need to look at reality more lol.
