Well I spent two and a quarter hours getting the Bank Robbery Champion title in the arcade and then I couldn't move my wrist for a few minutes hardly.

I know what you mean, I just don't know what to do as soon as I come off my PC.

Good advice. Any sort of exercise would be good.

I got bad knees, but I do try to get out of the house as much as I can. Go to Grandparents, Mall, Out to Eat,etc....

If you have been hurting your wrists, stop masturbating so much to internet porn.

But seriously, switch to something else that doesn't involve a mouse, such as TV. Two hours on the computer, one hour on the TV, and the rest into recreation. If you absolutely positively have to have the internet or gaming for long periods of time, buy a mousepad with an elevated wristguard, and invest in an ergonomic mouse, or trackball mouse.
