My fingers feel like they hurt and the tips feel bruised when I play too much. I can only play OSU like 1-2 hours a day before fatigue causes my performance to drop so I'd say just play less.
A random guys statement over the internet is worth nothing, better meet a doc if it concerns you, if not you should quit playing once you notice pain.Zedek117 wrote:
I don't think it's that serious. I haven't got any numbness or anything and my wrists feel fine. It's really just a bruised feeling in my knuckles and I was wondering if anyone has ever gotten anything like that.Nattsun wrote:
RSI and CTS are not that common in the community, actually RSI became a meme and you shouldn't think that every 2nd pro gets RSI at some point lol...
If you are noticing pain, meet a doctor. It may not even have something to do with your wrist. I had wrist pain and hand numbness myself and guess what it was. It was a nerve disorder in my neck, had to wear a scarf and it was all gone within a few days.
tl;dr: meet a doc

I nearly got RSI a few years back which resulted in me switching my mouse hand (not related to osu), and symptoms include numbness in fingers, pain in wrist and a loss of strength in the hand. Your situation doesn't seem like RSI, just you pressing the keys too hard. Although at your level I'm surprised you are having stamina issues.
Sorry. That was not a jab at your skill level. It is just that there are not many long streams in the songs you would be playing. I'm not even at the level where stamina is an issue, so yeah I don't get how you would hurt your fingers playing osu.Zedek117 wrote:

Yeah, I wouldn't say stamina is an issue though. My wrist only feels fatigued in long streams like the ones you'd find in https://osu.ppy.sh/s/350295. It's just after a few hours of playing lately my fingers are sore.PocketSizedMiku wrote:

Maybe your keyboard switches are too stiff causing you to exert too much strength. What kind of keyboard are you using?Zedek117 wrote:

OH SHIT IT'S PEPPY
Thanks for the advice, Peppy. Taking a break from osu! is hard though. It always feels like I'm *this* close to S-ranking/FCing a song. And it feels I can't go more than a couple days without playing because of my eagerness to improve.I-I can totally quit anytime I want t-though >.>peppy wrote:
