The "stifness" with not being able to bend your wrist and fingers backwards is normal and nothing to worry about. I think it happens to most people that use their hands physically. I myself was a highlevel footballgoalkeeper and practiced 5-7 days a week and the same thing has happened to my hands. THe shaking though, is probably something you should check up.

Yea I have to warm my hands up for work every morning. I'm a graphic designer and its just weird trying to sketch or use a pen tablet without getting my fingers working. Also before I play sc ill jump on a counter strike map or a fps game to get the speed up. Also on your forearms, there are muscles that knot up real bad and until you get someone to release it you have no idea it's there and it will also speed you up a little lol

Hi,

professional safety engineer here. I work in an big companies and ergonomics as well as healthcare are part of my everyday work as i care for like 1500 peopleFinger cracking wears of your inside knuckle bones as well as the cartilages. If done over years you form a cavitation which is automatically filled with water. This is what u feel. The aftermath is stiffness and vulnerability for sickneses (omg my english is bad sorry for that guys) like articular gout and rheumatism.

The shaking comes maybe from:

1. your fingers being too cold (do you fell like u have cold fingers after playing a long match?)
2. you hindering your own blood flow as u maybe have the edge of your table cutting into your arm?
3. ladder pressure (not kidding) sometimes i n have that too

When playing sc2 I always have a hot water bag around so when a match is over i can warm up my hands which is also good to get your fingers more flexible. I can also recommend training your hands with devices like:

Black Diamond Forearm Trainer (cheap and trains your hand and finger muscles in the long run)

or

Harley Benton Fingertrainer (for guitar players helps wonders as well)

Thers lots of devices but i made good experiences with my employees here

God i didnt think i could use my job knowledge on TL Thtas kinda funny

If you need more information on desktop ergonomics or stuff like that just ask !


Greetings from OSnabrück.Germany


Thank you and everyone else

I visited the doctors and they said that me being inflexible is completely normal.

as for the shaking, the doctors said it doesn't seem to be anything serious, and we pretty much nailed it down to my diet being extremely poor/no exercise, now that I think about it, this year has been a disaster. I've only been eating takeouts and junk food.

I might buy that finger exercise machine thing that one of the posters recommended. seems really useful.
