Hand hurt after 3x3

[pb_cuber]

I took a pretty long cubing break, like 6 months, and I got back into it pretty hard for the last two weeks. Yesterday I was doing sets of plls when it felt like my left hand ring finger and middle finger tendons tighten and give extreme pain. I gave it 24 hours but now I feel weird clicking in those fingers what should I do

I would do lots of slow solves, and gradually get your hands used to turning.

Also, don't do long periods, or periods of intense work; don't do 4 hours of cubing at 10 TPS for example.

thank you and also for some more back story I’ve been cubing for 5 years and this is the first time this has happened, I’m guessing just probably bc I’m faster and older

Yep, and as Jperm says, It is very easy to get rusty at cubing. If you've had a long break, it makes sense that your hands won’t be used to the strain of frequent and intense solving.

Exactly and it goes along with Jperm talking abt how the older you get your hands get slower
