So I haven't played a game of Starcraft in about 11 weeks or so based on my battle net. I have had wrist pains since the middle of May and a few months, an mri, x-ray, wrist cast and physical therapy session later I am still not better. My doctor and my physical therapist tell me that there is nothing wrong with me because my MRI came up clean but I am still in pain. My wrist gets better and gets worse all the time but this is just ridiculous.

Not being able to play Starcraft is already torture since I have been playing on and off for like 2-3 years or something. I worked my way from bronze to masters and I was really having fun in HOTS when I was forced to stop playing. I ordered a bunch of wrist support stuff finally for working since its obvious that there isn't a quick fix for whatever the fuck is wrong with my wrist. I just don't understand how my doctor and my physical therapist can tell me that there is "nothing" wrong. Its frustrating the shit out of me cause I already think my orthopedist is a full of himself moron who doesn't seem to listen to anything I say. Has anyone else had experience with this? I feel like i am gonna try physical therapy for a little bit and than maybe try acupuncture if I am still having problems but I start my senior year of high school tomorrow and I cant really avoid using my wrist anymore.

If it's really not working out for you, maybe you c/should change doctors? (although I don't know how frowned upon this is in the US)

Don't do acupuncture, its the definition of bullshit. Might as well get your chakras aligned and seek out an astrology expert for your wrists.

Try a lot of stretches man. I had a lot of wrist pain and just looked up general wrist stretches. It took away the pain but my hands are still weak. but getting stronger..
We have multiple brackets generated in advance. Relax . (Kennigit) I just simply do not understand how it can be the time to play can be 22nd at 9:30 pm PST / midnight the 23rd at the same time. (GGzerg)

I never really played consistently, I didn't really have a lot of time during the school year so I would at least play 30minutes-1 hour on weekdays but when it really happened I played like 5-6 hours on a tuesday or wed ~may 16th. I was feeling really motivated and I wanted to see if I could get GM the next season. I tried stretching, icing, and all that and honestly I dont think my doctor is saying anything wrong but at the same time there is obviously a problem. I just really hope that this blows over eventually and I get better because It is so fucking annoying to deal with.

Get a second opinion, first of all, second of all, you should see a specialist if you know something is the issue but an internist isn't giving you the answer you think you need.
