Today whilst I was sitting my two hour history exam on Nazi Germany and Apartheid in South Africa, my wrist started to ache.
Now I've never had any wrist complaints before and whilst I was writing my answers I thought about what it could be.
I considered the fact that I play a lot of videogames and I type on here a lot, but my wrist doesn't hurt when I'm doing them.
I haven't been lifting anything heavy recently.
Then it came to me. It's my writing in school that does it! It's the exams and constant fast writing to finish them in the short time allocated!
So I thought to myself, what's the name of that disease which people who play games are associated with? Repetative Strain Injury!
If I wanted to, I could phone Claims Direct and make a claim on my school! However I'm not going to cos there'd be no point.
But it's school that has given me a mild condition of Repetative Strain Injury!
Gamers and doctors of the world, I have worked out the link between Repetative Strain Injury and young people! It's school! School is to blame! I am living proof! Well until tomorrow when the ache has gone (hopefully).
Now people often say that RSI is to do with typing on computers. Well that's not always the case! I type quite fast and I've never got RSI from it. I have however got that ache-tickle feeling in my wrist (only my right one...the one I write with before anyone starts getting any sick ideas....) from writing in school today. First time ever!
So if you get RSI, don't blame it on your beloved games consoles. Don't blame it on the internet. Blame it on school and education!

Tell me about it - I did Arab-Israeli conflict and the Soviet Union and my hand was aching like crazy and my hand was so sweaty. I just wanted to stop writing! but there was way too much to do :(

lol sorry!
But it's true! School has caused me to have mild RSI!
Doesn't hurt though...just a slight discomfort..... :)
