I also heard that I need to try out more weapons, as some weapons will lock you into animations more deeply than others. I'm strongly considering this game.

Do you wear wrist braces to sleep at night and have wrist pads for your keyboard/mouse? If you find yourself still having issues, I recommend looking into alternative ergonomic mice. There's a mouse that puts your hand in a more neutral position. I think it was called a shark mouse.

I have tried the demos for MH on the 3DS but was never able to get into them... and this is coming from someone who has loved all the Soulsbourne games. The controls felt clunky and I didn't have as much fun as I thought I'd have. Does MH:W do things differently than generations?

Firstly, it's nice to see a massage therapist with such intricate knowledge of the anatomy of the hand; most massage therapists I've had never seemed to focus on anatomy. Knowing the anatomy can really help with zeroing in on problem muscles and structures. Second, painting the bones, musculature, and nerve is a great visual aid to understanding what's happening. I wish I had seen this in school.
In my clinic, what I find to be the most effective way to treat patients is through preventing compression at the wrist (via excessive keyboard/mouse use), and by reducing the amount of repetitive gripping you do daily (i.e. tasks that require repetitive gripping/pinching) since the median nerve travels in the same carpal tunnel as the flexor muscles that close your fingers. A wrist orthosis (brace) is also indicated for patients, since a lot of people don't realize they sleep with their wrists bent, which compresses the nerve even more.

Tofu Link ParentBTD5 was amazing and it's staggering how many free updates and maps they added over the years.BTD5 was amazing and it's staggering how many free updates and maps they added over the years.
I've been sitting in my car the past hour after being at a work function for the past 8 hours. It was too early to go back to work and too late to go home. Dreading going back to work and feeling shitty, as I have been the past 8 months. This is probably the worst part of my day. The best part of my day is when it ends.
