Injured myself DJing

I have been practicing my crab scratch alot lately...A few days ago, the knuckle on my index finger started hurting alot everytime I flare or crab. Has this happened to anyone else? should I go see a doctor or just throw some ice on it? Thoughts?

Is it swelling up or just sore?

RSI?

You need to take breaks, if you use a PC alot you have to realise taht you are using the same muscles/fingers to do a ot of the work.

So deffo take care.

Also make sure your hands are really warm before you start cutting.... even just run them under the warm water/hot tap, make sure you warm your wrists up as well. this will alleviate some of the pain but you need to rest.

thats a great idea....I HATE dj when my hands/me is cold. But running them under hot water then qucikly drying them off would work!!

You might lose that finger if you keep pickin your nose.

yeah, warm up i guess, I always strech tha fingers and get the blood moving.

once i fell off of a milkcrate when i was djing a house party, I was 16, I was wasted at a girlfriends older sisters college party. Yeah I was so wasted I lost balance and just fell over, I think i might have actually passed out as i fell or something. no injury, but i did knock over a bunch of records and shit. then vomit. then hang out window of truck. more vomit.

Dont remember why i was standing on a milkcrate to begin with
