I have any ideal on what section to post this in.
Arthritis and Carpal tunnel
Who has it playing drums or doing anything over the years of this . Not getting any better . Sometimes my wrist and shoulder hurts like crazy . Mostly at work when I am doing something for a long period of time. Standing in one spot . Had it since I was a little kid. Threw out Elem and High school and even now

I probably have it in my right wrist. Not from drumming though. I'm a content writer among other things for several companies and it's come from years of typing. What do you think caused yours?

So many things come to mind.

Mine started when I was in high school . Working with your hands and arms a lot . Hands would really cramp up and shoulder's will hurt a lot . But mine really recur during the Old BMX days of racing and I started on the drums in a early age . When I practice my drums for a short period of time. My right arm and hand would hurt like crazy. I just can't play or practice for a long period of time like I used to anymore . I loose grip and feeling in my right arm and hand.

Is it possible that you are holding the sticks to tight? Racing BMX gives 1 the tendency to hold the handlebars tight, might that carry over to the holding the drum sticks?
