throbbing wrist pain + finger tip sensitivity before and after taking a break from rhythm games
TLDR in 2nd last paragraph holy yap
I took a break from rhythm games cus my wrists and fingers were hurting a lot for some reason and they still hurt despite long break and idk why??
I've been on break from rhythm games since mid 2020/2023 (around 5-2.5 years) and have played occassionally around every 3-7 months for like 20minutes for mobile and I've recently tried to get back into mobile at the start of the year but my index fingers started to get really sensitive to the tapping again like a impact shock through my finger even though I've toned it down a bunch and am playing lower rated maps so I went back into break for mobile but around 10 days ago I started to play osu!mania again after a 5 years break or so with occassional playing. For the first few days it was okay but tonight my left wrist is throbbing and hurting pretty bad even though I played only 3.5-4.0* for like 35 minutes tops for like 4 out of the 10 days I came back for?
I kind of didn't expect this especially since I've only been playing rhythm games for like 8-9 years max but also external influences like constantly playing my electric guitar and guzheng (chinese string instrument) and just playing a bunch of video games could've caused this? I've used my hands a lot in the recent 12 years of my life and I'm not old at all not even old enough to drink in most countries so I'm kind of worried that this is happening to me young.
TLDR; been playing for long time took break after long break still have finger and wrist pain but idk why, worried because I'm young and don't want to live with messed up hands help
I have my wrist wrapped up in a bandage right now but it still hurts I just don't know why because I took such a long break is it because I'm weaker now or is it cus I strained it from constant use?? Do I go see a doctor if it keeps hurting tomorrow morning or if it fades just ignore it and take another break again I'm lowkey scared I won't be able to use my left wrist anymore for typing especially cus I have still school ongoing rn
