I noticed POE gives me hand pain, its the only game that has caused me such troubles.
Ive been playing all sorts of games for over 15 years now, even had 8+ hour game sessions and never had any physical issues from them, not even diablo2 which was the closest thing to poe i played!

But i noticed poe is the only game doing that, does anyone else have the same issue? Im not sure what the issue is, pain seems to be the strongest around knuckle area of point finger!
I was thinking maybe its something to do with using right click so much and that it creates some weird bone/tissue movements in hand, idk! Its the key i use the most (main skill is on rclick) and getting used to another key is pretty hard.


Did anyone else have any issues with this, is there some simple remedy to fix it? i tried to massage the area but honestly it just feels like rubbing a bone with no effect! Pain lasts a few hours

i bet you played too much with your coc

Sounds like RSI, had that for years and it gets worse when its colder. Try taking more breaks, get a stressball that u use for few minutes on a short break and massage your fingers with some oil every day or every other day. Maybe also look if u can get yourself a slightly different playstyle to get stress on one small part of your hand.

weebs are known to be weaker

Thanks for the tip i did know rsi could in theory happen due to mouse use, but it never crossed my mind it could happen to me! especially cos i've been using mouse so much with no issues in the past
Taking 1 year to heal sounds pretty annoying though! guess i gotta do something in poe to put more strain on my other hand, for now ill try massage with oil/cream and see if that helps after some time, thanks for help

Lel

might try a different mouse as well

Excercise and eat healthy

I had that as well when I played POE for a while. I did this one stretch that helped a lot.. Stand with your right hand facing the wall, stretch it out and place your entire palm straight on the wall - then straighten out your arms. Lean into it with your left hand behind your back. Hold for 15 seconds, switch. Repeat 5 times 3x a day. Also strengthen your grip and do pushups/wrist work outs. I developed a spur due to military training/MMA when I was younger, so it hurts during long periods of gaming. Hopefully your issue isn't as bad.
