PSP is a portable is now very popular with teenagers and adults. It has the capability to play movies, play games, music, display and take photos and lots more. This article is meant for a word of caution for obsessive users.

The psp design is hand held at a distance of 170mm apart. This position is prone to cause tendicitis or inflammation of the tendons at the wrist. It is similar to people who prolong use of computer keyboards and laptops.

When playing prolong game at the position, it stresses a certain tendon at your wrist. This eventually will cause you pain and agony as what I had suffered. So do take breaks intervals of at least 10 mins for every forty five mins of game play.

I had approached a specialist on my wrist condition and was warn that if I do not take the frequent rests, other issues of the hands may develop. This includes similar symptoms like the tennis elbow or golfers elbow. This can be self diagnose by pressing around your elbow area. Pls read

The stretch of tendons once inflammation takes place will take a very long time to heal. On my condition I took about 4 months before I can feel the pain reduced.

So parents and fellow gamers, do take care of your health
