Some questions

[Cool Frog]

I have been having pain in the joint of my left index finger should I give cubing a break for a bit and try to let it heal? (I used to crack my knuckles a bunch and it started to cause pain in my fingers so I stopped. But I don't think it fully healed)

Should I switch to a specific Roux block for a while to get better at block building? I started off being block neutral and would start with a 1x1x2 block and extend but recently have been making some interesting blocks (that result with a 5-9 move count)

Should you try to preserve pairs for the right block during building of left block?

Any way to get better at right block? (Besides practice, anything specific?)

Are R U' sets good for increasing TPS for one handed? (my fingers feel slow in general)

Take a break for a little while, or at least cut down on your cubing until it gets better.

Yea it happens sometimes to me. If you just stop when it first starts hurting and wait about a day or less you'll be good.

Rest for a while

Anyone else? I rested for a bit and after another day of (nonstop) cubing it hurts a wee bit again.

I would say if you feel any pain at all, take a break. That's hard if you are addicted... And I certainly did not apply that rule in every situation (and I never had any serious issues with it) , but be careful. When you cube, be sure to relax physically during cubing, and take brakes frequently.
