My Hands! The Pain!

[Gnarsty]

Over the past couple months I have fully made the transition from Sheik to C.Falcon. Since then I have made huge strides in optimizing my play and pushing my tech skill, but my hands are paying the price. I've just recently been forced into hiatus because my right hand/forearm is in too much pain to play more than one match at a time. Does anyone have any tips on hand workouts and/or stretches that I could use to recover and stay healthy in the future? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks!

If playing one match hurts you that badly, maybe you should see a doctor...

After I started playing for a very long time per day I have had some slight discomforts with my left hand, and I did some searching and found this page with some good hand stretches/excercises, which seems to be helpful so far

However, I do think that this is more preventative than anything else, and you should probably see a doctor.

Thanks for the link. I don't think the pain is intense enough for a doctor, but I do think that I need to take a short break and take care of myself better in the future.

this sounds really scary... Imo If I were you and I played one game of melee of c falcon and my hand hurt in discomfort I would go see a doctor asap, hope it gets better man.
