ok folks before i start i would just like to say that iam not some sicko hypocondriac, and to my knowledge do not have any nasty diseases..........................................


right here we go..... about two - three days ago my right hand began to ache alot, along with my wrist ( at this point i will not be requiring any **** jokes pls cheers lol) it felt like i had sprained it really bad, bit like a repetative stress injury it just so happens to be my trigger hand ? well i thought nothing of it until today when i noticed a jaw breaker sized lump under my skin on the back of my hand it isnt noticable until i bend my hand over ie like when iam firing my gun, and it hurts like hell ! i have tried firing with my left hand, and there is no pain or lump ? has anyone else had similar issues with repettative stress injuries etc etc or am i the origional sick boy ?

Most definatly, something is very wrong with your hand my friend!!

When you get back from the quacks look very hard at your marker, tank, drop setup. Its wrong!!!!!

Hope it gets sorted buddy, at least the season is mostly over!!!! :)

get a rail, then dont bend your hand like you are at a Julian Clarey convention.


EDIT: just read your last post.

It might be tendonitis. Ask your doc to check. Put you fingers gently on the painful bit and bend wrist slowly. If you can feel a grinding going on (like actually feel it grind) its probably an inflamed tendon and in that case you would need to rest it #insert joke here# typists get it, chefs get it (chopping a billion carrots a day) and now maybe paintballers with drop forwards get it :)

This is gunna sound weird, but you need to hit it. Hard.

Its going to hurt, but it will magicaly disapear. or if you leave it for about 6 months without using your hand too much itll probably go on its own. your choice.

Going to a doctor first is probably a good idea, but they'll most likely tell you the same thing.

Did you by any chance carry something quite heavy recently?

n.b. I take no responsibility for any injurys sustained :)
