Take break, just a game etc etc.

Not worth giving an arm and leg for it.
Lapis-
Currently my left hand is in a lot of pain cause I did some pretty hardcore maps on osu!m and standard.. I play tablet and keyboard. X_X Its been going on since last night. Overnight sleep didnt help -_-
(but really, just take a break if you're in pain)
Maneuver
I have been through, twice, which feels like RSI. I have constant pain and numbness for almost a month for my right hand to the point holding a glass of water was becoming difficult. Identify your pain, is it muscle pain like someone punched you or different kind of pain. If you have the pain like mine, you can't stretch your finger and wrists or it will hurt more. The pain will feels like it is draining your mental and physical energy.

Well, believe or not, after i read this book: The Divided Mind - John Sarno (google it) my pain was gone. Luckily my pain is caused by my brain and not the real injury.

Learn breakdance and practice freezes. That'll develop your wrist muscles and playing osu! for long periods of time will be a breeze. (plus it's fun)

maybe paraparamax or The Unforgiving might totally kill your arm/wrist...
;w;

Take a rest from playing so much. You will ultimately become bad at this game if you play while injured. Resting also helps you improve at a mental level and allows muscle memory to settle down and work ingame.

Try emphasizing the clicking with your fingers and not your entire hand. It also helps to move your entire arm when using a mouse/tablet to avoid sprain and fatigue on your wrist.

I once saw a picture of a group of korean sc2 pros raising their hand, and they all got one of those (already hardened)...scary...

P.S. I couldn't find that photo on google for some reason. I remember TossGirl was in it :oops:

EDIT: Found it

Yay, all have that mark /o/
Mine is not that intense, though.

Don't push yourself or you might end like me, I used to spin around 400 spm, now I can barely reach 300 due to my wrist gets a lot tense even if I don't want, luckily is going up again, just rest a lot or stop playing osu! for that day if you can't endure the pain, idk how intense is it. If it hurts a lot and don't disappear in a long time, consider a visit to the doctor.

i pulled a tendon from my forearm on a spinner back when i played, it never actually went back into its proper spot either. take it easy and take a break for a bit - osu! has a tendency to cause you to compress your medial and ulnar nerves quite persistently in your wrists which can lead to carpal or cubital tunnel syndrome depending on how you grip the mouse.

basically, play until it starts hurting, stop for 30 minutes, play again. alternatively, buy a tablet or touchscreen.

Hmm, 5 days of non stop playing averaging 5 hours a day since I got my tablet...
Sorry for the picture's unintentional reference but it's the most common pain spots for me.

The middle finger's top joint(where specified) is swollen for me :cry:
