[Help Thread] Cubing Injuries?

[Torch]

I managed to hurt my hands by doing feet solving. I unconsciously grip the sides of the chair while I solve, and since the chair is hard and wooden, the bases of my thumbs are now swollen and a little painful.

so again, kind of off topic but I always keep my hands right next to my timer when I do feet (I keep it on the table), so I accidentally stop it half my solves same goes for OH

Solving with roux, stressed out my left ring finger and it started twitching involuntary. Had to rest for quite a while

You should definitely try solving with the timer on the ground; it can feel really cramped and difficult when you're not used to it. That's what happened to me the time I did feet officially, I had never done it on hard floor or with a stackmat before, so it was basically like trying to do an official solve in an event I had never practiced.

There should really be a feet discussion megathread, shouldn't there?

I once cut my finger on a sticker.

Hard to believe but true.

I've noticed my finger tips are slightly harder.

Once i was solving a 3x3 on loose tensions with wt 1 and it popped and hit me in the eye.

I have a small cut on the inside of my right index finger, and it doesn't even hurt but it's been slowing down my times by about 3 seconds for a week now

That happened to me when i tried to remove the stickers of a Moyu cube, right under my fingernail.
I just peel the stickers off.

Yeah the stickers are very sturdy I have a red shade on my backup and it has not chipped for the year I've owned my cube and the other stickers have chipped you should also use a sticker peeler it can be found at the cubicle.

A very small ganglion appeared in my wrist, and I think it's due to cubing :/

When you get your fingernails trimmed down my left pointer finger and thumb is always sore and slows me down.

I've had ganglions in my wrists for over 20 years and they've never been a problem. Mine were caused by martial arts.

Great then It grew somehow bigger but now it's going away, though

Clock injuries part 2: after doing an ao100, the tips of my index fingers (especially the left) have skin rubbed away and feel numb.
