[Help Thread] Cubing Injuries?

[ScottTheCuber]

I saw something like this on reddit. But it dealt with wrists. Maybe you did strain it or if its not the hand you use for everything its like it getting a work out and gets soar.

I haven't been injured, though I know the fluctuation angle is very painful to solve, due to lots of sharps cubies sticking out.

Imagine forgetting that thing on the couch and sitting on it..

Darn it, I saw you had replied to this thread and I thought I was going to see positive news about how you broke your arm or something

Some shapemods have rather sharp pieces that pinch my fingers.

A 3x3 popped and the piece hit my eye.

My left index finger hurts. Specifically, the knuckle closest to my fingernail.

It started as a dull pain that was only there when I curled it (doing U' for example). I took two or three days off, but it didn't go away. After that, I kept using it hoping that the pain would go away (because that makes sense). It didn't. Yesterday, while I was cubing, the pain changed into a more painful sharp pain. I'm taking at least a week off now.

Does anyone think that doing this will help? Has anyone experienced something similar?
Thanks.

Bump.

Today I loosened my Zhanchi. Tried it out with a T-perm. Three pieces popped out, and one of them hit me in the eye. Still hurts.

This evening, walking down the stairs, I spotted my 4x4 which my wife had put there to try and get me to tidy it away. I bent over to pick it up (so I could do some solves rather than stick it in a drawer) and as I stood back up my feet slipped from under me and I bounced down the remaining stairs on my back. I'm currently using vodka and ibuprofen in an attempt to get pain free enough to sleep.

I got a nail infection from doing pyraminx once. It was caused by my the inner right part of my right middle finger being irritated by gripping the puzzle.

My hands ache a lot today. I think I have RSI.

That'll be from too much posting on the forums .

Seriously - rest for a while and it will pass.

I'm currently cubing to take my mind off the pain.

Many many sticker-in-nail cases.

I used to use CS tiles. It really sucks when those go under your nails.
