I like video games as much the next guy, but they’re not all fun and games. In fact, gaming can lead to serious health consequences. The latest ailment thought to strike fervent gamers is “Playstation palmar hidradentitis.” That’s medical speak for Playstation-induced hand bruises.

Swiss scientists discovered the condition, which is caused by keeping too tight a grip on the console and furiously pushing the buttons. The result is painful lumps on the palms of your hand. Reuters explains that the diagnosis is based on one girl’s experiences:

Their study described the case of a 12-year-old girl who attended the Geneva hospital with intensely painful lesions on her hands, which she had developed four weeks earlier. She had no other lesions anywhere else on her body.

After questioning, the doctors discovered that several days prior to the appearance of the lesions the girl had started to play a game on her PlayStation for several hours each day.

The researchers suspected that grasping the console's hand-grips together with repeated pushing of the buttons produced minor but prolonged injury to the palm of the girl's hands, which can be made worse by sweating during a tense game.

The doctors recommended the girl stop playing and she recovered fully after 10 days, the researchers said.

Not to belittle this girl, but did you really need a doctor to tell you to lay off the game controller? In this vein, a spokesperson for Sony, who was probably desperately trying to avoid obviously rolling his eyes, urged the use of common sense when operating their system.

However, this is not the first time a health problem has been blamed on gaming. Check out these other “diseases”:

Video Game Addiction: So severe is this problem that the AMA even considered classifying it as a mental disorder.

Mouse Elbow: Too vigorous usage of the mouse for computer games can cause damage to the tissues of the forearm and the elbow.

Video Eyes: This condition is a combination of too much game play and not enough sleep.

Joystick Finger: Pain in the finger results from, you guessed it, excessive use of joysticks.

Nerve Trap: A problem that comes from keeping your head and neck in the same position for too long.

Wiitis: This diagnosis can cover several Wii-related injuries, but most often refers to sprains, strains and tendinitis that occurs when players don’t stretch before using the gaming system for long periods of time.
