Might have Carpal Tunneling or something.
This morning I went to a BBQ which my mom dragged me out to.
When we started riding the car back home, I noticed I couldn't make a gun shape out of my right arm without straining+hurting the middle part of my arm.
I asked my mom's boyfriend about it, (parents are divorced) and he said I might have Carpal Tunneling because I play the computer too much.
On my right hand, the finger you use to click a mouse feels as though there is weight on it when I try lifting it. It kind of hurts the middle portion of my arm when I do it also.
Can anyone else confirm if what my mom's boyfriend said is true or not? I'm 12 if that helps. I'm really scared if I have to get surgery or something

What's Bengay?
I played video games since I was 8.
EDIT: I asked my mom's boyfriend whether my arms had to be numb or not to have Carpal Tunneling and he said ''it'll get there,'' and that this is just the beginning. T_T
Thanks for the help. I really hope I don't have Carpal Tunnel.
Like people before me have said, take a break from the computer and see if the pain goes away. If it doesn't, see a doctor. You won't get very good advice from an online forum overrun with pubescent teenagers.
Also, if you end up needing surgery, don't worry about it. I highly doubt that surgery for carpal tunnel is fatal, and if it is, you can't control it. Just go with the flow me breda
@NumbCut: I do not believe that is carpal tunnel. I have carpal tunnel and it is when the carpals in your wrist grow to a size that pinches the tendons making your arm feel like it's "asleep." Your arm will feel sore after prolonged use. It comes from a lot of use of just your wrist, so I can understand your mouse hand being affected, but at twelve I doubt you can have it yet. It takes years of an intense wrist activity to develop carpal tunnel.
The surgery also costs like $10,000 so pray you don't actually have it, or you'll be living with it for a long time, haha.

Well, mym mom says she'll take me to a check up next week.
I don't play ms. I play sc2.
Go see a doctor and stop playing the computer
