[Help Thread] Cubing Injuries?

[TDM]

Don't cube with that hand then. We're not going to know how long it will take to heal.

Ask the doctor how long it will take to heal and either practise OH and become beast until it heals again or stop cubing until it heals.

Learn feet... or something good like OH.

Ok. If I practice OH, then will I get a lot faster in just a week or 2? I average around 33 seconds.

I used my Aolong V2 for too long and my ring finger hurts

 

[IRNjuggle28]

Lol, nice bump. I've felt the numbness that's typical of RSI before when I've cubed too much. I know about what my limits are, and stop if it's getting bad, so it's rarely a problem and certainly isn't chronic. Other than breaking nails in really uncomfortable ways and a few blisters, nothing else major.

...it just missed the top of the bed and bounced off and hit my dog He seemed fine though.

poor dog xD

Stickers peeling on my Weilong. Paper cuts all over my left middle finger from doing lefty U2's. Maybe i should go stickerless.

Aosu stickers going under my fingernails, before I replaced the stickers... It caused blood under my fingernail and cubing was a pain for ~2 days ._.

Stickers are cheap though, and if you're getting less papercuts because of it then it's definitely worth it.

Tendinitis in the left wrist. Doing wrist turns with my left hand make it hurt. It goes away after a few days but comes back if I do a lot of cubing in a short period of time, especially with big cubes.

 

[YouCubing]

The skin on my index fingers got rubbed off after doing Clock too much

Cubing injury as a result of eating skewb. My 4 year old sister decided to eat my skewb and she took off a sticker while she was chewing away.
