Numb Finger Question, XBox people enter HERE!

So I have had no work over the past few days and have lost feeling in the pad of my pointer finger on my right hand from playing Xbox non stop…(insert roaring laughter here). Anyone have this happen? It doesn’t bother me…just feels weird. But is this cause to go see a doctor or should I wait it out? I don’t have numbness anywhere else in any part of me (insert another laugh here).

I’m guessing at some point someone has had this happen since we have quite a few gamers here. Any input from experience/knowledge/random commentary would be awesome. Thanks all.

Go to doctor, request painkillers, give to AlpineSkiier.

you should just tap the buttons not poke or jab them hahaha, if i was you take a day or 2 off the game lol

play less video games problem nick marijuana

Its need for speed, its the right trigger that’s always the gas, so its just constant pressure on the button that did it :lol

Burrrnnnn after rolllinnnnnnnnn

@Xbox gamers huh? So it is true you guys are bitches lol

I burn then Im KING of CS.

I meant gamers in general! not making fun of any particular gamer haha

the triggers are a lot different than the finger curved game cube controllers im used to

play less vid games jonnhy gammer

i would just play less video games, but i’m not the smartest when it comes to pain and doctors, i absolutely destroyed my knee flying kicking out a window to the point where i couldn’t walk for half the next day (could only walk that night prob due to my intoxication level) and just stayed in bed instead of doing anything about it.

shift518 = the one and only place to ask for medical advice

:rofl

Less games duded. Has never happened to me and I consider myself to be a pretty avid gamer (play about 2-3hrs a night most nights). Although, I haven’t played much in the last month since I got the new XBox because I don’t have many games for it yet (sold my modded one with like 40 games to JohnnyK).

wrap finger in tape before gaming

WHAT! rly game cube…lol

hold the controller less tightly. Sounds like you are cutting off blood flow to said finger.the aching is cell death

geez i play a lot of video games ive never expirerenced that. I have experienced rage ending with smashed controllers

ya just stop squeezing so hard…

Yes game cube was my last system before 360…I would think it is cut blood flow but that doesn’t make sense because I still have feeling on the tip and top of my finger. Its literally just the pad of my finger that lost feeling.

is it just callused?

i was just bustn balls bout the game cube brah.

Wear gaming gloves :lol

you probably have cancer
