Terrible Terrible (hand) Damage

Thrawn1324 United States66 Posts October 22 2010 18:49 GMT #1 I've been gaming since starcraft came out in 98. Nothing ever too serious. I mainly play fps games and fall back on starcraft when ever something got boring. Since starcraft 2 came out, I've been playing it like crazy. With the ladder system and replays I feel that hackers and cheater are not as likely to show up in the higher matches. I enjoy being a competitive diamond player but I think I have to stop. With fps games most movement is side to side. Looking around for enemies. Sometimes you look up or down to find someone but not often. In starcraft I look in all directions pretty equally overall. This is killing my thumb joint. Left, right, up are all fine but to go down I curl my fingers instead of moving my whole arm and my thumb joint is now having issues with this. Anyone else run into this or am I alone in my pain?
