I used to play alot of osu, I started with McOsu and I had a lot of fun.
I used to play on trackpad, it was fun...

then I started to get pain in arm, while playing osu but I wanted to SS a song so bad that I kept pushing and pushing through the pain, I was warned that this would happen and now I'm suffering the consequences, I stopped playing osu! about a few months ago after I just couldn't keep playing bc of the pain I would feel and today, I decided to give it a try.

My ARM HURTS, I am typing this in pain right now.
I really love osu but I just can't keep playing anymore, I physically can't.
I only played.. for about 1-3 months before I started to develop alot of pain.

It makes me want to cry sometimes, I love this game and I can't even play anymore.

Seeing how many peoples limit testing leads to a tragedy i start to think my body is allergic to RSI with my screen time



Go see a doctor, if you already did he probably told you to not overload your hands, now will begin the long and boring process of rehabilitation
Get healthy asap and dont push yourself too much, i wish you all the best

Tldr: go see a doctor


Untill the pain stops you definitely shouldnt touch osu or at least limit your session time

That sounds awful.

I can imagine how sad it is to love the game but be physically unable to play it. Especially when things remain the same after a long break.

I don't know if you will be able to play again but I hope for the best.

try doing a good stretch/massage routine for a couple of weeks or a month, and actually do it everyday, you can probably get through it.

osu is fun, but not so much worthy of the fun to get you injured. So take it easy, guys!

PPain is normal when you are limit testing(with breaks, obvious)
but if is a acute pain just stop immediately and try to change your playstyle

This kind of playing is what kills motivation for the game. As much as I am a proponent for "play more", sometimes you just need to step back. As __scripting thread, explore new playstyles. Changing the arrangement of your setup just slightly can potentially change how the game feels, so I always suggest trying a plethora of things out until you're sure that you've found the most comfortable positions.

I have a problem with my left index finger, it's like it's constantly in slight pain, I got the injury because I fell down a flight of concrete stairs and tried to stop myself by putting my hands out in front of me, but instead of saving myself my fingers ending up getting jarred and had a direct fall onto my head. It's a miracle I didn't get a concussion, this was like, half a year ago and it still hurts, I really should see someone about it but Its only a minor inconvenience¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯, the reason why I said all that is to point out that, it can sometimes affect my tapping, and its ki d of annoying to think I could streaming alot faster if not for my hurt finger🥲
