Or he's just really rich and can afford to get injections at the slightest sign of discomfort.

@Van Faulk
I didn't know about that till you mentioned it but I looked into it and "Matthew is missing part of his middle finger on his right hand." That doesn't seem like quite enough to result in an injury that requires medical attention. It may be a slight inconvenience because he might have to use his right index finger for both the right bumper and the right trigger, but other than that his missing middle finger shouldn't have a big affect.

It's enough to get carpal tunnel way faster if got less grip overall to work with. I don't know about you, but I grip my joystick like it owes me money.




And I hang onto controllers pretty tightly, too.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can result from swelling in the wrist (Carpal tunnel) caused by irritation due to tendons rubbing back and forth against the flexor retinaculum in that area (when you open and close your fingers a lot such as long bouts of gaming), causing inflammation, and this then squeezes the median nerve, causing pain. The injections were anti-inflammatories administered to the site of inflammation for quicker action.

Yeah, he talked about it on Jimmy Fallon, too, but the results were much funnier and pro-gaming.

I have a feeling it wasn't carpel tunnel, but rather a tendon issue such as "trigger finger". My mother had an accident resulting in trigger thumb on both of her hands. She needed steroid shots to relax the tendon sheath (synovial tube) so she could move her thumb freely again. It wasn't permanent and she had to eventually get surgery. Now her middle and ring fingers sometimes lock in the bent position until the moves them with her other hand.

To sum it up: hand injuries can cause other problems in places you wouldn't quite expect (see thumb injury resulting in locked fingers). I couldn't imagine not being able to use my thumbs for weeks at a time.

@Gehodra: My thoughts exactly. I've never heard of people using two fingers for both the right trigger and bumper. That just seems awkward to me.

I'm about a year younger than him and am an avid gamer as well. My longest sessions are about six hours by the end of which my hands may start cramping up. Fallout 3 is a HUGE world where I'm still finding new places to explore after three runs through the game. I'm thinking he is playing around 8-12 hours a day.

Matthew Perry was making a million per episode during the last few years of Friends so I doubt he needs the money. The only other answer I can think of is "I'm sittilng on this pile of money and all I'm doing is playing video games".

He's known for his addictive personality (he's had pain killer and alcohol addictions in the past), and I'd say this is one of the better things he could be doing way too much of. =P
