Can't type for 5 seconds without a pain response.
Can't play single video game without pain and weakness throughout my body.
I do every exercise and stretch under the sun and I don't get any relief at all
Karmically I didn't do anything to deserve this.
Got this pain when I was a teenager, never even got to be a teen it's like my life peaked in elementary school.
Pain and weakness whenever I type, write, play a game. Occurs within seconds and it's across my whole body. The right side is worse than the left. Fingers are slightly swollen on the right side than the left. Limited mobility in my right hand and arm.
Physio, strengthening, dry needling, trigger point injections. None have worked
X-ray has not found anything, NCS/EMG nerve tests have not found anything. Trying for a cervical MRI because I have a funny shaped neck, but considering my luck I don't think it will find anything.
Recently diagnosed with FND (functional neurological disorder) meaning my head is making up the pain, it's very rare to make a recovery from it.
I haven't been able to play a video game without pain in years, I just want to feel like myself again.
Hand pain has taken away everything I enjoy. Had to drop out of University due to not being able to use a pen or computer for 5 seconds before pain in my entire body. It's taken away most my hobbies (gaming). Literally just a soulless husk that paces around my house and stares at walls all day long.
For years I've had pain, spasms and weakness from seconds of touching a computer. Doctors have tried every test they can, nothing of significance has come back. I got diagnosed with FND (functional neurological disorder) meaning my head is making it up and it is very rare that anyone can make a full recovery from it. Spent thousands on treatments and nothing has worked.
I'm a massive gamer, gaming is my favourite thing ever and I cannot do that at all anymore. Adaptive controllers don't fix anything. I used to love getting immersed into Open World games it's my favourite genre of anything and I'll never be able to get to experience that as an adult.
Had to drop out of University, every job I've attempted I've had to quit due to pain in my hands or poor performance. I'll never be able to hold a good job, I'll never be able to achieve a degree, have a girlfriend, anything of significance. I'm so depersonalized I have nothing to say about myself.
Fuck the NHS btw, 1+ year waiting list for most things. Taken off waiting lists without being told.
Hi 7 month long NEET here. Had to drop out of University due to not being able to use a pen or computer for 5 seconds before pain in my arm. It's taken away most my hobbies (gaming). Literally just a soulless husk that paces around my house and stares at walls all day long.
For years I've had pain, spasms and weakness from minutes of touching a computer. Doctors have tried every test they can, nothing of significance has come back. I got diagnosed with FND (functional neurological disorder) meaning my head is making it up and it is very rare that anyone can make a full recovery from it. Spent thousands on treatments and nothing has worked.

Had to drop out of University, every job I've attempted I've had to quit due to pain in my hands or poor performance. I'll never be able to hold a good job, I'll never be able to achieve a degree, a well paying job, have a girlfriend, anything of significance. I'm so depersonalized I have nothing to say about myself.
