Pinball Injuries through playing PA

[xAzatothx]

Given the Injuries thread over on the Real Pinball thread, I figured I'd start something similar for Pinball Arcade.

I kinda got addicted to Medieval Madness over the weekend on the Xbox - determined to finish the wizard goals. As a result of using the triggers rather than bumpers and playing too much. I've ended up with medial epicondylitis (pinball elbow). The tendon which moves my index finger attaches into elbow. Basically this week, I can't even get my hand to my mouth which has caused all sorts of issues.

Annoyingly I managed to reach battle for the kingdom, but now can't play anymore for a few weeks.

What other injuries have people suffered or what damage has resulted whilst playing PA?

I'm playing real pinball all this weekend, I fully expect to be in an all-over body cast next week.

I'm an ameatur darts player (3 league nights + w/e) & have found that TPA has seriously injured my game due to interference with practice. I used to put in between 3-5 hours at the oche a day. This has been reduced to sometimes a half hour max a day. Really need to find the off button. Farsight has ruined my darts game but put me in love with pinball. Definitley a love / hate relationship!

Currently bugged by shoulder-hand-syndrome I can say with certainty that playing TPA on my phone really doesn't help with the recovery process. I'm not 100% sure about it, but it might even have been a factor in getting that impairment in the first place. Most of the time I play hunched over the phone with the elbows resting on my knees, not that comfortable/relaxed on second thought.
