RSI and gaming

[Comixbooks]

I had a shoulder pain from swiping my Cell Phone and decades of mouse use. I guess RSI is really common in esports mouse use.
After doing the above video my shoulder feels fine. I thought it could of been a torn Rotator Cuff o something but it was too high for that.

In over 30 years of gaming I have never once had RSI until Guitar Hero came out. Even then, the plastic instrument games are still the only ones to ever cause it. I recall doctors at the time being baffled about people they were seeing come in with tennis elbow when they had never played tennis or squash before.

Anybody remember those pictures they would scare you with that showed deformed fingers? I want to know what kind of poor behavior and posture causes those kinds of injuries since I gamed like an "esport athlete" as a teen and never once got calluses or anything else like that.
