Anyone ever have fingers go numb after gaming?

[rvdrock]

Yeah, its weird but my left pinky feels like its asleep, this has never happened before. I've been playing PS3 on and off all day, but this is just odd...never in my life have I had a finger be numb from gaming. Anyone ever have this issue, its quite annoying...

My pinky went numb the other day, but I don't think it was from gaming.. not sure. The first time I had an extended session of Guitar Hero, I was numb/sore afterwards.

Guitar hero for a few hours.

Fingers FTL. (

Guitar Hero does it to me also... very weird.

Do you rest your elbows on an arm rest on a chair? Sounds like you're pressing on your ulnar nerve (i.e. the "funny bone").

I haven't. I've fallen asleep while playing a game though. One time because the game actually put me to sleep.

I play Guitar Hero standing up, so it's not pressure on my funny bone.

No charge .

So basically, I cant do that or my pinky will be numb? That kinda sucks, doesnt it?

Thought it was natural for button intensive games.

LOL, I'm not even using my pinky on the game...thats whats so crazy, I'd understand if I was playing Guitar Hero, but I'm playing Onimusha and NBA 2k7...lol

When I used to QA at Sony, I had a shooting pain up my right forearm for a few days. Then it went away... actually, it probably just went numb from the pain.

That's what you get when you have to PSP for 8+ hours a day, I suppose.

...and since then, I've moved on to better, non-carpal tunnel syndrome inducing, things.

I've had it happen but it was when I was laying down playing a game laying on my elbow.

What's sad is that if he went to a doctor, he/she would of probably told him the same thing or prescribe some unneeded pills and charge a ridiculous amount of money in the process.

As a few others have said "Guitar Hero" is very guilty of this.

Very very... guilty.

I used to get a pain in my right thumb joint from pressing the X button, and my right hand sometimes hurts when I play left analog stick heavy games like GTA.
