protip: pad your elbows with something. I used to have this problem then started padding my elbows with koozies (3) or whatever else i can find that is soft and squishy. no problems anymore.

Actually getting a sore elbow from mining means that you're mining too slow.

Left hand is use for pressing ctrl-A, right hand to whift the ores with mouse.

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

I use 2 sided tape and mount a sanitary napkin on each elbow. Now the damn things bleed every 28 days...

Well I awoke to find I had a very pain full left elbow joint that later in the day became swollen and very hot. What was it I hear you cry!!

Well I now have
Quote:
Elbow bursitis, also called olecranon bursitis, causes fluid to collect in a sac that lies behind the elbow, called the olecranon bursa. A bursa is a slippery, sac-like tissue that normally allows smooth movement around bony prominences, such as the point behind the elbow. When a bursa becomes inflamed, the sac fills with fluid. This can cause pain and a noticeable swelling behind the elbow.

Why did I get elbow bursitis?
Elbow bursitis may follow a traumatic accident, such as a fall onto the back of the elbow, or it may seemingly pop up out of nowhere. People who rest their elbows on hard surfaces may aggravate the condition and make the swelling more prominent.


The above has been plagerised from this web site. http://orthopedics.about.com/cs/elbow/a/olecranonbursa.htm

So should EVE come with a health warning?



You're doing it wrong. Smile

I can't hold my bottle of beer and open the door with only one hand now can I.


I'm sorry this advice had found you after your forever alone induced injury.

No, I think you should have come with a bit more common sense. No one is forcing you to play, don't blame the game. I know you're probably being tongue in cheek but the worst thing is that there are people who actually think like this.

I had a headache once and looked up to find that I may have brain tumour.

2 years later and I'm still here, so I think I'm not gonna trust the interwebz medical advice anymore

Nope spent 3 hours in the hospital last night having the fluid drained from my elbow. Now on antibiotics, anti inflamatory pills and pain killers. I just used the internet to get a fuller picture for my self and by way of making my point. Smile


Doctor: "So, what activities were you doing that might have led up to this?"

You: "Look, the guy was only giving me two more days to pay, and shooting rocks was the only way."

Doctor: "Ah, I see you play EvE Online."

On the matter of bursitis i don't know which pain is worse: The actual condition, or the treatment.

The world is a community of idiots doing a series of things until it explodes and we all die.
