ok I just started this game 4 days ago now. I sorta been playing 10 hours a day, I've noticed my right hand (mouse) throbs now (started 2 days ago) just generally, Like it has a heart beat you know?. That was ok. I could always get it warmed up to play Osu.... Could excess stress lead to anything? It throbs most of the day now.. whether I play or not. I noticed today that It just went numb after I stopped playing for a bit. I can't get it to 'warm up again' it just feels like theres a wieght inside stopping me moving my hand fast. This hasn't happened before either. (its still throbbing to) Anyone else had this problem?

I used to play on 3.6 sensitivity so I would really have to 'press' down on the mouse to control my movements, I have since moved down to 1.4 yesterday.
But ye does anyones hand hurt, am I pressing my mouse to hard?

( Carpal Tunnel Syndrome ) that's a syndrome where at the very end leads to paralysis of the hand .it results from the compression of the medial nerve between the carpal bones . but it's not really easy to happen you need to play really really much in a long frequency for several years ( 20 years or some ) , not sure if you'll play osu! for that long .. plus It usually occurs for office workers who use pens a lot .. Plus try to remind yourself about closing your eyes some people are really concentrated so that they forget to close their eyes .. not sure about what hits you if you don't but i'm sure it's really really bad .
Play healthy guys and feel free to ask me in messages about stuff like that .. I can help :)

Playing too much osu! leads to hand and eye damage.

Try to take a break for several days.

But you know, office workers are barely moving when compared to osu! players + mouse is worse than pen in a sense that it speeds up the process of narrowing the tunnel.


You can get CTS as soon as after 1-2 years of tryharding osu! if your hand position/playstyle is unhealthy.

What's funny, I got CTS in my left (clicking) hand T.T

I know someone else who plays this game and got CTS but he/she is getting surgery soon.

EDIT: Also there is a typo in this title (grammatical error: the first "to" should be "too")

Good thing you turned your sensitivity down, because quick jerky movements can lead to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) real fast.
Since your fairly new to osu, I know it can be fun and addicting. But I advise you to take long breaks (days worth), or else you're going to regret it.
From the beginning two months when I started, I had similar symptoms like yours; my hand was shaky and it was hard to move it around.
If you don't want CTS, then take those long breaks and stop playing as much (10 hours....)

Your health is what is most important to you, not a game.

Welp, it's permanent for the person I'm talking about, can only play for an hour.

It's pretty obvious that if you play 10 hours a day you're gonna get a sore hand... just pace yourself, if it hurts too much take a break and your body will repair itself. Though as for me, after months of playing I noticed my hand doesn't tend to get sore as it used to, I think it's just adapted like it should.

As for carpal tunnel, it's nothing you need to worry about really. If you do get it you can get surgery to fix it.

I remember when my hand hurt like crazy when I first started... It's cause you're not used to all the movement like this... Play a bit less and take more breaks, the pain will go away after a bit.
10 hours is fairly excessive, cut it down a bit.

Bwahaha I remember when I used to play non-stop lol
Now I play a few songs and I get bored because I keep fucking them up.
Um, you gotta take breaks in between those long hours and let your eyes and hands/arms rest.

Any fairly round object on a white background will remind you of osu!

why have there been multiple threads of people asking why their hands hurt after playing an unhealthy amount?? i wouldn't think this connection would be hard to make

My thoughts exactly. It scared the crap out of me on my first month of playing.
I've been used to it ever since. Circles everywhere, rasta.
