Ive been playing osu for 4 months now and im a mouse only player, but recently my right hand has started feeling very weak.I can still use my right hand for everyday activities but when i try to clench it into a fist it just feels weaker compared to my left. Im scared its carpal tunnel and I dont want to consult a doctor. Im only 17 and if my mom knew i had this problem, she would stop my use of computer permanently. I want to take a break from osu. But this game is just that addictive, i cant stop myself, help me pls.

I really dont want my Mom knowing about this, she would freak and go full control mode on me
you're worrying more about playing a game than the long term health of your hand?
Hey man, if you're truly worried about your mom - just give it a break. Does it hurt when you clench your right hand, or does it just feel not as strong as before?

It doesnt hurt, it just feels really weak, like u know how u wake up in the morning and ur hand feels weak. But it goes away, my hand feels like that but throughout the day
There's not much that can be done/known trough a forum, but for now give it a break. You're 17, where's your willpower?
i had this once i just played through it and it went away get some perseverance 
there might be something wrong with the blood-circulation in Your arm.... Go see a doctor
*I have the same problem like you right now (weakness in my finger-tip) with my left-hand. Doctor said there's something wrong with the blood-circulation so, yeah just go to a doctor

Would you regret not being able to go bowling with friends 10 years from now?
Injuries and fatigues don't seem that different to untrained eyes, that's why doctors exist. osu may be the thing of the moment for you, but are you willing to risk losing future possibilities for it?
I would've taken good care of myself back when I was a student if I knew that today I'll be playing a game that requires me to stream with keyboard. It's too late for me but you still have a choice. It's your life.

It's definitely carpal tunnel, see a doctor ASAP or you risk permanent damage.
After 4 months of doing nothing you definitely need anti-inflammatory medication, and if that doesn't help then surgery.
Would you rather make your mom mad or lose use of your hand? Your choice man but she will find out eventually whether you like it or not.

In other words, he could possible have what I have-- reynaulds syndrome.satriobp wrote:

Poor blood circulation in your hands/feet cause them to get cold, stiff, and hurt.
If you notice white spots on the tip of your fingers, consult a doctor regarding Reynaulds syndrome, and he will explain lots about it.
I have it and it's nothing major. It's a very minor disease that cuts about 70% of the blood-flow in your hands and causes them to hurt and be cold.
excessive clicking/tapping can actually be a great factor in this too.
I've had it for 4 years now and it causes me some issues at work in the winter times, but isn't the biggest deal. Just annoying and stiff.
Exercise your fingers every morning with some finger stretching and warm-ups. Wear gloves outside and don't let them get too cold.
If you take care of your hands it shouldn't be too big of a deal.

I dont think its reynaulds syndrome, my finger tips are still as red as ever and i really do not feel pain in my hand, just weakness.Today the Weakness in the hand has gotten better. i really am going to lay off Osu for about 2 weeks and see if it gets any better. Even though the weakness is there, i can still use my right hand to lift heavy things and do activities. So i guess imma stick to less intensive games like LOL or nba2k13 and do stretches before and during games. Hopefully my hand gets betterIlfri wrote:

Thanks for everyones concern <3I think u read my post wrong, this problem just started happening. I think u misinterpreted my game play of osu of 4 months for my problem lasting for months. But i do agree man, i should consult a doctor, ill see if the hand is better by end of the week, if not, i will have to force myself to see a doctor as much as i dont want to.Kanye West wrote:

kanye IS a doctor, so you'd better listen to him 
The only person I listen to is GladiOol. Because we have a mutual understanding for each other.GladiOol wrote:

seriously though i had the same thing you described my hand felt really weak and when i clenched my hand i had a strange sensation in it. I could still do regular tasks with it though like lift things and write. that was like 2 months ago but it went away after about a week. if you say it feels better after a day you'll probably be fine. i played through it but if you take a break it'll probably heal faster.
