Sorry to hear about that. I don't have it in me to stop playing but maybe your cautionary tale will make me have more breaks at least. Hope you get better.

thx

wow thats bad , sorry to hear that mate and i hope you get a full and speedy recovery

I'm sorry for hear about this.
But yeah, play too much gave me a problem on my right wrist and my insonmia got worse, not even talk about the pain I feel because of my injured shoulder.
I hope you get better soon friend.

Does anybody knows about like an alarm or reminder Windows App? I want to avoid these kind of health problems and doctors recommend taking breaks and stand up and walk every X amount of time, but when I playing a game (specially RPGs) or do other stuff I totally forgot about the time.
So if anyone knows a good app, will be appreciated.

I'm sorry to hear that but I wouldn't say that too much gaming lead to that. It is widely known that you should stand up and move around every 1-2 hours because sitting in one position for many hours is not healthy. This further proves it. I hope everyone starts to do that if they don't already do.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you get well soon.

Pilonidal Sinus? Defeat the final boss!

Edit: Hope you get soon too ^^'

In your case it was not too much gaming.
It was too much sitting. And a shitty seat probably helped.
However, when you're in doubt of how much is "too much", for anything, just take this as a reference (probably nsfw):

And your eyes too. For someone who also have to work on computer like me, gaming isn't a good idea. But still...

Get well soon :)

I hate it when I can't find the video I'm looking for...the title of this thread reminded me of a clip (vine?) I saw of a teen being seen by a nurse, and she says something about him having a wee (pee, piss, urination etc) and he says "No, an XBox"...

Thanks for sharing your story, this will remind us to not exceed. (this counts for everything in life)

I hope this month pass quickly for you, have a quick recovery, and that you will not lose the love for gaming.

Sad :( Hope you will get well soon btw thanks for sharing your story bro! I will try to avoid hrs of gaming :D

You know, you could stand and game! Then again, it's a lot more uncomfortable........and there's a risk of getting varicose veins too!

Damned if you stand, damned if you sit! :(

K™

Get well

Very good advice, in general people need to walk more, our body is not designed to be sitting so much.

Now I am sad :/ . I wish you to recover fast from this.

I suffered from a pilonidal sinus too, about 10 years ago. While it is some kind of basic and easy to cure thing, I remember it was really, really painful. For me, pain was much more easy to deal with after surgery, I'd say on a scale of 10 I went from 10 to 3, then 0/1 after 2 weeks or so.
By the way, too much sitting is one of the possible causes of that, but there are others. When I got that, it was clearly not the period of my life where I spent the more time sitting :)

I think teachers need to know that seating in the same position for many hour can lead to problems...

Where is the option "All of the above."?
Yeah, I know gaming and using the computer too much without any sports will eventually lead to health and mental problems... but it's what I do and the only way things will ever be for me so I'm pretty much resigned to the inevitable (the health one that is, I'm already so messed up that any mental problems may as well be cherry topping). Definitely do not expect to win the Olympics and live for 100 years while being a video game addicted programmer. :P

Anyway, about your original post... ouch... sorry to hear that. :/
Get better...
