Wii Shoulder
Wii Shoulder - Wii Sports Injury
Well, here we are at yet another new frontier post for this intrepid shoulder doc! I'm about to take a big jump into "virtuality." Going to reinvent myself as a little Mii - chasing round after the mii joggers with a little kitbag, popping up in the yoga studio, waving from the audience at the step class - you get the picture.
Been playing Wii sports, Wii Golf, Wii Rockband (axe hero of course) all Christmas and my shoulder is giving me real grief. Quick google search reveals that not only am I not alone .... there are millions of you out there with the same thing.
So - here's the deal. Leave me your comments about any Wii injuries you've had and I'll pull them together into an article - can't wait to read your stories.
Now - my turn again on Rockband .... Rock, rock, rockaway beach - rock rock rockaway beach ...........

well, i'd just like to preface this by saying that i am not. in. shape. AT ALL.
also, i have chronic forearm/wrist fatigue from lots of typing/wrist use being an office manager.
*that said,* i got my muscles all jacked up playing what really was a fairly small amount of wii tennis and bowling with my niece and nephew on christmas day. i think it was probably the wii tennis that did the most damage, given that i was acting like i was some williams sister or something, but i can still feel it when i go to pinch my fingers together with my thumb.
the muscles running all the way from my fingertips down to my armpit and all the way around to the middle of my back were/are JACKED. the first day after, when i laughed, my right lung hurt. it was bad.
so, i don't know if it's really an injury per se, or really just overusing muscles that i never really use at all and then beating the crap out of them and wondering why i'm so terribly sore. i'd like to actually get one and then keep going at it. i'd have to get a wii fit, though, so i wouldn't terribly neglect my left side.
oh, wii.

My husband and I have become very competitive playing Wii Tennis. I have had a lot of pain in my neck down through my shoulder blade on my right side. I've been to the chiropractor twice and my massage therapist twice. I tried to not play wii tennis for several days which seemed to help a little. I always stretch out before playing. I have tried Icy/Hot, Biofreeze, and a heating pad to help relieve the pain. It's still sore.
I have been athletic all my life (I'm 52) and I work out a couple times a day. I really love this game, but wish I could get rid of the pain faster.

Had Wii-induced shoulder pain for months. Was lucky to get around surgery. Sharing what helped me. http://bit.ly/sB84Z
