When your wrist becomes sore from holding of video game controllers brought on by playing video games during most of your waking hours for several days straight. Signs of Gamer's Wrist are pain in outer-wrist joint while moving, grabbing or lifting and loss of strength. Usually mistaken for or stereotyped as Masturbator's Cramp which is entirely different or carpal tunnel syndrome which is a pain and stiffness on the inside of the hand caused by online games.
Especially severe in games which require a lot of clicking and tapping of buttons. Takes around 3 to 9 days to completely heal with moderate gaming. Gaming for more than 3 hours a day during may prolong the healing process. Treat with tiger balm or mineral ice type remedies. A wrist bandage may help but will increase stiffness if kept on overnight.

When one scribes manuscripts with a quill and ink, the wrist becomes stiff and tender.
This word originated in England in the 15th century, before the printing press was in use, royal orders were made to reproduce religious manuscripts in the interest of theological preservation. It was common for these scribers to develop this condition, and they would proclaim "thou wrist hast been stricken by the curse of the quill!" They were given permission usually from a Baron or Count to break from their scribing duties.
The term quill wrist continues to be used today, as quill scribing still affects the wrist as it did in 15th century England
