(I do not know whether I have posted this in the right space)

I am playing songs around 4.1 - 4.2 star songs, and I start to get a pain in my left hand (the one I use to click the keyboard).
Is there any tips anyone can give me? I have tried taking breaks (for about ten minutes :P ) and I have tried getting used to the pain, but no.
Reply quick, as I dont want to quit osu!

Stop playing when your hands start hurting and come back the next day.

Also serious respect for that acc of yours ^_^

sorry for the slow reply but you might be hitting too hard or your keyboard is as hard as rock
make sure you don't play continuously for more than 3 hours

It is okay to play more than 3 hours in multiplayer rooms cause you get breaks in between

and mind your posture

Stretch. A lot. Warm up properly.

Also, it helps if your wrist is elevated. I suggest either using a towel/pillow to prop up your left hand or just hover it in the air a bit above the keyboard.

For now take a break from osu for at least a week i'd say and ease back into playing when you feel better.

Doesnt matter iff youplay on mouse or tablet but get an ergonomic designed pen/mouse as it might be early rsi signs.
Also it might be muscle exhaustion wich is same as lifting weights. (Yourbody is just growing muscles and that is wat you feel,
Simply sit it out and it should become less in this case)
Also like people already told youmake sure you comfort your wrist and at least half of your arm to make sure your body asks the least amount of energy for each click you make.
Having only your wrist on a pillow will still make you hold your entire arms weight on that wrist only.
Last thing i can imagine that can cause it is that you are sitting to low/high from the keyboard.
Sitting to high asks more energy to raise fingers up while sitting to low asks more to raise them down.
(Even iff you are only moving your fingers your muscles from this small movement will still move the strains in your entire arm)
The last and advice i can give you is keep practising and in time you and your body should addapt to repetive tapping so that you can tab or click as you please with that arm.
