So I have been playing Osu for over 10 months now and I'm pretty good, I have never had this problem before but lately when I have been playing Osu my biceps and right hand will start to hurt, I have loosened up my arm and wrist during songs and I have even moved my mouse to the top of my desk so it's no longer next to my keyboard and is almost behind my screen but nothing has helped. I have been pushing myself to my limits by trying to play harder songs to practice and get better but now even if I play 2 or 3 star songs my arm hurts, sometimes it doesn't hurt when I play 3 star songs but after it I get an S or an SS rank but after that I become really shaky and am unable to play without my pinky on the desk to stabilize my hand and stop it from shaking but this really hurs my fingers, Any tips to help this stop please it's very painful and I can't play Osu anymore without it happening

I have tried but it still has done nothing, the longest break I have had is 3 months and that is more than long enough for the muscle and tissue in my arm to grow back (after ripping it playing osu) but it still happened, it's just my shaking now I shake too much when I play and I can't stop it nothing has helped I have changed my mouse DPS to lower then higher but nothing works anymore

Remember this forum isn't to provide any sort of medical advice, since the problem is persisting you should probably see a medical professional.

Well, i don´t know why your arm with a 800 playcount on 10 months of playing...

to stand and consider all possibilities is to drown in a sea of infinite potentiality

your... bicep? that's really weird. 99% of the time the pain comes from the muscles that move the fingers up/down, i mean personally when i play my biceps are just chilling not doing anything so I don't know what the heck you're doing to cause that. maybe make sure your forearms are resting on a surface?

if the back of your hand hurts you're probably exerting your extensors too much, remember you don't have to lift your fingers up very far at all between taps.
also try using heavier switches like black they really cut down on the work you have to do to pick your fingers up, reds are pain. i can deathstream for ages with blacks and my extensors never get sore, although the muscles pushing down certainly do eventually.
