I've been playing FFXI recently for 8 hours straight...

Now my wrist is really starting to hurt.... WTH does this mean? How do I fix it?

Its only my right wrist that hurts...

Appreciate any good ideas without shelling out big $ to see a doctor...

Go outside. Use legs. Back to Playing. Rinse and Repeat.

Seriously, you might want to ice it. You might want to look up repetitive stress injury (RSI) or Carpel Tunnel syndrome. Generally sites on this have tips to prevent perminant damage. I know three people who have had surgery for this. It seems effective, but I would never let it go that far.

Carpal tunnel is largely preventable.

If you plan on playing for such long periods, I'd advise getting a brace for that wrist. You'd be amazed how much it helps.
