Hey everyone!
I'm pretty new to Osu still, and I just wanted to say hi in the forums and post my first question/discussion.

I've been playing Osu almost religiously recently, I'd get on my PC and play Osu then get off just to get back on again.
My hands have been starting to hurt insanely because of the strain I'm putting on them. I know, I know... if I get uncomfortable I should stop and take a break. I'm pretty much obsessed at this point and I'm constantly playing and playing to just want to grind and improve.

If you guys have any recommendations or you know anything about stretches/helpful tips on how to cope with the strain and fatigue, I'd love to know.

Also if anyone has any tips on how to improve my stamina so I can steadily get through long streams without breaking or falling behind, I would also love to know.

Thank you guys!! I really appreciate any help/tips. UwU

I had similar problem when I decided to play osu again, my hand were in insane pain even during short songs. But for me pain was gone after +- 2 weeks of every day playing. Also i didnt play that much, maybe 2-3 hours a day and my hands became eventually used to it. For example last weekend on saturday i played maybe 10 hours with some breaks and i didnt have any problem, but that might be becouse i played in the past. I would recommend you not to play 24/7. I understand you are new to game and want to improve as fast as possible, but if you seriously hurt yourself, you wont improve. Play couple hours a day, and pain should be gone soon, then you can increase amount of hours.

For me it helps to do some exercise before and after playing to kinda flex the muscles in the hand and strengthening them as well basically this guy in the video explains it well what to do, I do not have a weight or whatever you call it so I just use a plastic bottle that I fill with water to replicate one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLjtSyuE11I hope it helps, and keep grinding!

When I'm addicted to osu and my hand hurts,I just take a rest...my recommendation:take a rest,relax,and stop playing osu (or stop playing any game) for a moment.

Prob the beginnings of RSI might want to lay off osu for good.
