Hi folks. I've been playing the fiddle for about five months, self-taught, on average an hour a day. I've started to feel weird in my left wrist - it's not painful exactly, there's just a slight sensation that attracts my attention when I'm doing something sedentary (I don't feel it while playing).

I think I'm going to have to sign up for a few fiddle lessons to make sure that my form isn't heading me for an injury and tragically early fiddle retirement.

I thought this might be a useful thing to make a thread on - can anyone share their experiences of music-related injuries, or offer wisdom as to how to prevent them?
