Probably due to smashing with wrong method or smash too hard, my right hand ache badly after the game. it continue to ache for 1 to 2 weeks. especially when i type with computer keyboard, the index finger aches along the tendon. anyone has similar problem?
hi clemseed, welcome to BCBF.... the pain, is most likely due to in-proper grip style. did you go for check-up at clinic?
Hello drifit, thanks for your reply. I play badminton since young. But never got this kind of ache. I went to see doc, doc isnt sure whats the cause of pain. probably due to prolonged usage of computer or overstretching during badminton game.
Most probably a wrist tendonitis, since it's been two weeks and it doesn't seem to go away. Cause is most likely not badminton (but it's possible), but more repetitive motions like keyboard typing in a bad posture. Maybe the smashing motion exacerbated the wrist condition... There are a lot of info on the net. Check this one out: http://ergonomics.about.com/od/office/ss/computer_setup.htm
yeah, i think the long hours in front of the computer in uncomfortable position is the culprit since i am experiencing pain too. all the way up to my shoulder.
