[dippa]

Have you been a massive geek and gone that little bit too far, feeling the twitch, numbness and maybe even outright pain in your fingers, forearm or wrists?

I'm writing an article this week about the injuries gamers are contracting from going too hard, and I'd like to hear about your experiences. If you've ever contracted some kind of problem that was so bad it affected your gaming or your life - that is, forced you to stop playing, take a break or even as severe as surgery or splints - then get in touch.

It's my regular column with games.on.net, if you're wondering. (I'm also trying to get in touch with a surgeon for an expert opinion on the whole field of carpal tunnel/RSI-related pain, but I need gamers with first-hand experience too!)

PS. dippizuka on skype if you need to get in touch, @thedippaeffect on Twitter or a PM here will suffice.
