Carpal Tunnel issue

Hi guys
I got my new Gibby Melody maker yesterday, and I played it from when I got it at noon to about 11:00 at night with only 3 breaks for bathroom and dinner. This morning I have a dull pain from my shoulder to my forearm. Need I worry?

So you did the same repetitive motion for 11 hours and now you're sore?

Definitely not carpal tunnel, but you've got reason to be sore.

Did any of those breaks include masturbation too ?

I got drunk and opened up my main electrical panel, took a piss in it... woke up the next morning on the floor and my dick was burnt, should I be worried?

You shouldn't be asking strangers on a forum for medical advice. Go see a doctor if you're worried.

That is a quick way to get carpal tunnel if you don't have it already. SLOW DOWN, BRODOWN.

Once you're older you may never have time to play all day.

If it was carpal, you'd feel pain and/or numbness in your wrist and hand. I have CTS in both wrists. It's a bitch.

I hear ya, once you get a real job your guitar time dwindles down to almost nothing.
