Can Growth Of Hands And Legs Be Stunted Due To Playing Computer Games?

My hands would always be cold when I used to play computer games everyday when I was a young teenager, could I have caused my arms and hands to not grow to their full potential due to a lack of blood flow to them since they were propped up for the computer all the time?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Growth of hands and legs cannot be stunted due to playing computer games continuously. But there is a possibility of a habitual gait of using hands and legs, which could further develop into misshaping of hands and legs. Lack of blood flow to the limbs happen if there is any obstructions for the veins. I don;t see any such problems while playing computer games. Don't worry. Primarily, I would like to know what is the problem you are facing with your hands and legs?
