1108194 tn?1378424522 Yes, he has been playing the games. Its almost like he is playing even though he isn't. I tried to hold his hand to see how long he could keep it still and I could see/feel the pinky and ring finger moving.
903476 tn?1242237037 My other issues would have not caused joint pain no one ever got arthritis from asthma. But the pain has got from 0 to 60 literally over night and now my whole arm is hurting but I think it's just cuz I'm trying not to move it around to much to not aggravate my thumb. There is only very slight swelling it's so slight it took me a few hours to even notice it was swelling there is no discolouration or feeling warm to the touch.

1015873 tn?1261271548 What are your favorite video games of all times? What System are they for, and why do you enjoy them?
Avatar f tn s not visible from the outside but if I move my other finger on it I can feel it. Not only that, but if I put pressure on the bump/area it causes a tingling sensation only in that finger tip. If I push on it with my thumb it just feels like a more knobby knuckle (on only the right side) however even that little pressure tingles my finger tip. I noticed it after I had been playing an ungodly amount of video games..
Avatar m tn t have anything to do with your masturbation in my opinion. Are you left-handed? If you play video games, this may be due to excessive playing, depending upon the time involved during various play sessions. Any repetitive muscle movements can stress the affected muscles and ligaments.
Avatar m tn Recently I spent a week playing a lot video games on a giant 49 inch HDTV. I never really played video games on the HDTV beforehand. A couple days ago I played almost the whole day, and my eyes got really really tired and really red. After that day, whenever I'm using a computer or looking at a screen, within 10 minutes of looking, my left eyeball gets hit with a lot of pain. Especially behind the eyeball. So much, that I have to turn away from the computer and get an icepack.
Avatar f tn I have been so emotional lately! I cry when my husband plays video games lol. I can't help it or control my emotions whatsoever.
Avatar n tn t look at any of them for more than a few minutes before having a seizure. It is very plausible that he could have seizures from playing video games for that amount of time if he is photo sensitive.
Avatar f tn complex partials all of my life but at an older age I statred having grand mals as well. In regards to video games and computers it all depends on what triggers the seizures. I am unable to stay exposed to video games and computer screens for long time periods due to the bright, counter-connecting waves which for unexplained reasons trigger my seizures. Once again, that's something to discuss with your doctor. I would suggest observing your seizure activity while on the computer.
Avatar f tn I am a 17 year old guy. I really enjoy doing things with family, but at the same time I really value my alone time. One of the things I do when I'm alone is play video games, but I often let my playing negatively effect my time management. When I play video games I kind of shut out the rest of the world. My mom and I have a close relationship, and have for forever. Right now she and my step father are having marital problems that are to the point that he isn't living with us.
Avatar f tn , computer games, video games, television watching) are all easy ways to escape from the demands of everyday life. This boy may have learned to spend his time in safe and non-demanding ways. This may have been what his mother permitted. He needs to gradually begin to trust and to try to break out of old unhealthy patterns. It's going to be a struggle, especially if this still goes on at his mother's. As the step-mother, you need to be careful in this situation.

Avatar m tn ve noticed something that often breaks my anxiety cycle cold (at least for an hour or so). I play some intense video games on my computer. Usually online against other people. Doesn't matter what game. Shooting games card games strategy games. Anything that gets my competitive juices going and requires me to focus intently. Usually after about 10 minutes the tightness in my chest is gone and I'm a lot more relaxed.
Avatar n tn When I watch TV for longer than a couple hours (mostly when I play video games), my right eye tends to sort of sting and get a bit watery. I've noticed if I keep watching TV or playing on the computer for extended periods of time, a small section of my eye turns red, almost like pink eye when I look in the mirror. Today I closed one eye to see if there was a difference, and my right eye was a bit blurrier than my left.. what's wrong? P.S. I'm not on any medications.
Avatar m tn the neck exercises help prevent the muscles in the neck from getting tight and causing more pain and they also aid in preventing scar tissue from forming..... I am sure the video games r not helping....but again, does his position affect how he feels?
203342 tn?1328737207 yea every kid loves video games but the games have to be fun. if you can get those new technologies to work with games like halo or world of warcraft i can see it being a great help to many people, but other wise i don't see it working on kids above the age of 12.
20293229 tn?1494379852 Here are some notes: - had this issue for almost 3 years now - legs are constantly tense - i sometimes catch myself consciously tensing them but other times i don't - intense video games will make me tense my legs as well as anxious situations in real life. It's like a response i have when im scared. My legs feel soooooo tense and sore after a anxious situation. - so sore that after playing a intense video game, when i get up from my chair its like i've done a marathon.
Avatar m tn His video games!!
Avatar f tn My husband told me that today BC I said I was lonely and felt unimportant. He has been off work this week and played video games more than talk or hang out with me. I have 4 days until my c-section and am pregnant with twins. I am miserable and in pain all the time. I have a 5yr old and 2yr old and am the one taking care of them, the house, and meals. I also caught a cold. I told him I was sick and he just rolled his eyes.

Avatar n tn When I was a really little kid, I would sit and play video-games all day! Now I only play video-games like 3 times a week, and only for a hour or so. Is there an effect that video-games can have you, to thwart my progress as an athlete?
Avatar f tn Here is a game for those who enjoy any kind of games. Board Games, Video Games, T.V. Games, Computer Games, etc. Rules: The rules are very similar to the Song Titles: Alphabet Game, but instead of song titles you would list a game. Beginning at A, then when we reach Z the game would begin again at A. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's try to see how many we can list without repeating any.
Avatar m tn Thank you so much for the help, makes me feel a lot better, because it does make sense. Between being at college, and playing video games I can definetely see how it would cause that, because at times when the pain doesn't occur, those times where when I took a break from playing video games. Thanks again for your information.
Avatar m tn Hi there. This is video game related motion sickness/ dizziness and the best way to tackle this is to stop playing video games before it worsens. Open the windows of the room or step out and breathe in fresh air and stay there till normalcy. Certain precautions can be taken like turn on more lights, sit as far from the computer screen. You can try chewing ginger pills which can alleviate dizziness.
