i have been using my computer far too much recently.

I have had huge amounts of stuff to do for university and have not even had chance to get down to the gym or anything at all.

Anyway, suddenly I have slight pins and needles in my forearms and a little pain in them too. and weird feeling in my wrists and finger tips every now and then.

I have heard about the repetitive strain injury thing in the past and i was just wondering if it would weaken the power of my punch?

also, is it usually permanant?

thanks guys.

anyone???????????

RSI's require the advice of a physician and typically they require physical therapy. The two things you should never screw around with in this sport are headaches and hand pain. See a doctor if at all possible, as soon as possible.

Drink more water. Sounds like you are spending so much time on the computer you are forgetting to drink.
