Hello fellas, im an 17 year old turkish osu player. I was playing osu for fun but like around January 2019 i've decided to play it seriously. I've gained rank , took a break , lost rank , raged , had fun , laughed ,had amazing friendships and many thing happened to me while playing this game.Around 3 months ago i gave my full potential to the game and started to set MANY top scores.I was just playing for pp and trying to gain rank.As you can see in my profile, im playing with mouse, in my country, tablets are REALLY expensive for an average family(1USD=7TL). I was fine with the mouse , i was playing with low sensitivity so like i had to move my wrist hardly when i try to hit jumps.Then i reached my max potential and set a 300pp score a month ago. I was really happy and furious about my score and also proud.But after that day i felt something strange with my wrist.It hurt when i tried to hit jumps.I did not gave it attention first but after like an hour of playing the game it started to hurt REALLY bad. I've tried to change the way i hold my mouse, tried to cursor dance when i hit jumps but nothing helped. After this i started to lose my skill. I couldnt pass a single map which i fc'ed a while ago.And this actually made me dont want to play this game anymore. I wasnt having fun anymore. I was just raging.I couldnt play the game more than a hour due to the pain. But like in other games the pain was gone, it was just in osu for some reason i dont know.I lost all of my motivation because i gave a year to this game and i couldnt play it anymore.I know that im not a pro player but i was at a point that not everyone can reach so easily.And today, i decided to take a break, a long one.Maybe someday, i'll have some savings and buy a tablet and come back for fun.
What do you guys think? What would you if you were in my position?

may be too wild of a suggestion, but why don't you visit your local therapist and have them examine your hand, preferably with x-ray and MRI scanning?

I actually do want to go but due to the coronavirus every people under age of 20 is not allowed to go outside in turkey. I will as soon as i can.

Get well soon mate. Take a long rest if need be.

you should go to the doctor, your health it's more important than the game.
take your time, don't be scared of losing your skill, that's easy to recover, unlike your health, so just rest until you can go to the doctor.
i hope you don't have any problems with your hand and was only a bad position issue, if that's not the case i hope it's not something really bad and you get well soon.
always put your health first in this kind of cases, take care and good luck.

I'm afraid it started in other games too like not just games , every time i hold my mouse more than 10 mins. it starts to hurt. I think im gonna quit not only playing games but also using a computer. As soon as this restriction ends , i will go and see a doctor. Thanks.
