When I bought my tablet back in December. I use to be able to play all day without any pain. For the past month and a half I have slowly developed pain my right forearm and hand from holding the pen. I am not sure what could be causing the problem but it is currently making me quit playing. Before anyone suggests it. I tried taking a 3 week break. It didn't help. My hand was already throbbing half way through http://osu.ppy.sh/s/24611. Any suggestions on what could be wrong? How to fix it? I really love Osu! but really can't play with this...

Then again, you should really go see a doctor, if the pain's bugging you that bad seriously dude go get help no one wants to quit osu! :P

I really don't think it is CTS. It only hurts when I am using pen on Osu!

Could be the way you hold your pen/playing position...

Any suggestions on ideal position? I know everyone's is slightly different but could you guide me in the right direction? I am willing to change it if I can play! :P

If you hold any sort of writing utensil WAY differently than others, I suggest that wikihow guide (then again I hold my pens so awkward lmao)

As for your playing position, it depends where you're playing.

Thanks! I will check it out.

You should try stretching your right hand before and after you play, if that hurts, then maybe there's something wrong with your hand and should probably go see a doctor and check it out .

I have this, but a good way to prevent this is to take regular breaks
