    Default Physical Ailments from Camming

    I think I have sciatica. I feel like I strained my lower back throwing my legs in the air during one private.
    And I really hate when guys ask me to ride. I felt a rip feeling in my knee one day.

    What physical ailments have you gotten since camming if any?

    My eyes always burn from makeup
    Eye strain as well from staring at the screen too long

    Ya, when I wear fake lashes my eyes hurt from the weight I think.
    And I've gotten headaches from eye strain.

    ^^ what Juliette said, I get distracted easily so I end up wasting time easily and only work at night. So I dont sleep very well. Right now Im exhausted cuz I only slept 5 hrs, from editting videos and doing other lil things. I so gotta get organized w my time because Im so tired all the time!

    I suffer from TMJ (it's a problem with my jaw) and it can easily be set off by how I'm sitting/creating muscle tension in my shoulders.

    I'm blind, i have arthritis in my knee, and spondylosis. Some days my knee hurts too much to work. And a lot of guys seem to have this obsession with making fun of my eyes.

    Those guys should jump off a cliff. Holy shit.

    Did you get those conditions from camming / computer use?

    I tore out my rotator cuff using a toy at an akward angle when I first started camming and it STILL fucking hurts to this day.

    Neck and left shoulder issues, because I tend to lean heavily on that side when my ass is up in the air and I'm looking back over my shoulder to see if I'm even showing up in the camera view. I installed some mirrors to help with that, but I still can't read backwards. I REALLY wish these sites would allow us to increase the text size even more than what it already is, especially on SM..Either that or I need better glasses.

    @Jaana
    Sorry to hear these guys pick on u sweetie, i know what it means to have to deal with morons when trying to make a living especially when u have a certain condition. I saw u on cam and knowing about ur eyes/ vision conditions i dare to make a suggestion if u dont mind, if u mind tell me and i delete this post.
    I saw u sitting in chair and always move head to the screen to read i assume? So u cover cam with ur head pretty much/ often, also camera is very close to ur head/ face and eyes are very visible.
    How about u lean in bed/ on sofa and have the camera positioned so u focus the view on ur body and try to keep face off view partially/ time to time, maybe wear some glasses frame that will cut the picture and make eyes less visible? Dont know if u have a laptop or desktop there but u can position the screen close enough to ur eyes to see by turning head to the right/ left when reading.
    I mean all good, if ur condition is affecting ur work and gives people reason to pick on u i would try to hide it as good as possible and take their focus off the area where they can use against u, hope it makes sense. All the best there xxx

    i don't want to hide who I am.

    i don't want to only show my body or only show my boobs. A lot of my free chat involves me talking, and it woud be odd for people to just..talk to a body. Plus I don't have a laptop so I don't know how I would cam with a desktop in the posotion you described.

    ^^^ I did not say to hide face completely and show ur body only or to be a different person, i meant for u to focus more on whole body instead of face/ eyes and to keep camera a little further away. A monitor can be taken in bed too lol, or very close to bed, i did this with mine, i had it either on a small laptop table at the edge of my bed or just in bed sustained by a big pillow (i took off monitor stand when i did that).

    I bought a longer cord for my monitor so I can move it around more.

    For sure! I really commend you for doing what you do. I admire your strength and confidence, especially at such a young age. If I had a hat, I would take it off for you bb

    It always gives me hope and courage to see other ladies in this job who are such strong fighters.

    Going on 3 years of camming and the work related injuries have been few and far between, but still memorable lol.
    ~Threw my back out during a doggy style show..frozen in place is awesome lemmetellya. At least the guy was nice and stayed to make sure I was ok.
    ~slid off the couch riding my glass toy, pretty sure I fractured my pubic bone that time
    ~"dildoitis" from years of repetitive motion; shoulder and wrist discomfort in certain positions
    ~elbow pressure sores when I used to lay on my side in free chat- couch relieved that but has it's own risks- ref injury #2 lol

    I have back issues from a pre-existing injury...I tried to push a car out of a snowbank when I was out driving with my ex in his tracker and he wanted to do donuts in an untouched lot. Ended up cracking a vertebrae and pinching a nerve. Such a frigging Canadian injury.
    May have the beginnings of carpal tunnel from all the typing, and mild eye strain. I don't need glasses yet though, luckily.

    -Chronic upper back pain. My breasts are very heavy and I've stopped wearing support bras on cam (because they're not very sexy) so now my back is all out of whack trying to support the weight.
    - My left elbow and hip are always sore because that's the side I usually lay on, sometimes I sit up straight but that just makes my back pain worse (see above)
    - My insomnia has gotten worse due to having to cam around peak times even when my body wants to sleep

    And the worst: I've started getting migraines when I am over-exhausted. I am not prone to migraines but if I work too late too long the pain is so unbearable that at times I think I am literally having a stroke.
