wrist injury

[GiantsGiants]

Hi, I played a lot to reahearse in one day. Like 3-4 hours with my band and 2-3 hours of arpeggio practive now I get a dull ache playing bass for the past 2 days.

Ive only played about 15 minutes in the past 2 days but thought no I should rest it.

Is this fatigue as I dont get it any other time just when playing bass. Should i just take it easy for a week and let it heal or is something worse?

Its not a sharp or intense pain. Just like if you do a lot of running and you legs feel fatiged

Sounds like you lack the stamina to play 5-7 hours a day. That's something you need to work up to.

Yeah it's like working out or training for a marathon. There's no short cuts. Just corny, old fashioned repetition.

If you have pain, swelling, redness, or a sensation of warmth around the affected joints and it lasts longer than what you consider to be normal, or it happens a lot more frequently, you should check in with your doctor. But that sounded like a lot of bass playing for just one day, so hopefully, that's all it is.

Do you also have a desire to yell at kids running through your yard?
There's a support group for that here.
