Stomach

[depressedcrow21]

It's been awhilie since I played ddr but I got the thing to fix my pad. I started playeing a few days ago and the upper part of my stomach hurts. It hasnt stopped either. I have been playing with it like that too. Does anyone think I should stop fro a few days. OhI have one more prob . When i do double arrows alot my knees start to hurt to. What shoudl I do?( Oh I should metion I weigh 420 and I am trying to drop it but my grams dont help out much. Like the little pizza hut stunt here the other night)

If you're experiencing constant pain, even long after you stop, you should probably stay off the pad for a while. If at all possible, move down to an easier difficulty when you get back on.

About the doubles thing, it is a LOT more tiring than single. It makes my legs sore a lot too, so that's pretty normal.

well I am still on begginar because I use to be able to do light but i hadnt played in a long time cause my part to hook it to my x box was broken and I got my wired controller back from my friend so I could play it. Well its been a day since I stopped and my stomach is better

I delt with the same problem, I am going to ask a question, you dont have to answer it but when your on the pad dancing away, do you notice your stomach bouncing up and down alot? I started out at 304, yes I have man boobs, they bounce as does my stomach, the movement of that can cause pain in the muscle groups. my pain formed right between the peck and the stomach, just below the solar plexus so that may be whats happening to you, since your body is not use to that kind of movement and since your no longer built to withstand that kind of force you may encounter that kind of pain. mine lasted about a week to two weeks, its gone now and no longer affects me. you may want to take a day off the pad to recoup, heat and cold both help.

as for the doubles, are you refering to double arrows or double pads? I have played double pads, its hard and makes my legs burn. as for the double arrows, I find them easier but if they are causing your knees to hurt it may be due to the amount of weight you are putting on them when you land. how high are you jumping? are you landing streight leged or are you bending your knees when you come down?

by the way, what version of the game are you playing on? I am using ultra mix 3, there is a training mode on it where you can slow down the music so the steps come very slowly to help you learn the step patterns and so you arnt shocking your body with so many sudden movements. just an idea.

anyways I hope this helped, if your pain persists more than a week I would recomend going to see your doctor about it, you may also look into getting a knee brace (the cheap ones for sports) to help support your knees.

(oh and about the pizza night, dont feel to bad, it happens to everyone, the key isnt always to not eat ANYTHING that might be bad for you, its to eat well on a regular basis, when you slip keep it in moderation.)

best wishes all

My problem is on double arrows I jump up and come down some tiems stright legged and sometimes not. Yes my belly and man boobs bounce around alot but its not hurting anymore. I am playing ultramix 2 wanting to get 3. Oh does 3 come with a better dance pad??

3 comes with an offical konami soft pad, I liked it alot but since there is no foam in it my feet start to hurt fairly soon after I start dancing, the anti slip on it is great though, it hardly moves at all, mabie a 2-3 inch drift over like 10 songs. I started out on 3 and I really like it.

This is happening to me right now. It hurts like hell. Kinda like have a small cramp that won't go away. Everytime I lay on my stomach it hurts.
