Can FFR cause carpal tunnel syndrome?

Re: Noob Question

No, FFR doesn't cause it. Your excessive playing/weak fingers do.

By the way, I can play FFR as much as I want without causing a permanent carpal tunnel syndrome. The worst I had was when my right middle got busted for playing Balloon Fever for 24 hours straight. A few months later, I could do Frictional Nevada for 72 hours without burning my fingers.

Re: Noob Question

IMO, yes. Obviously Midday is the exception [burning jealousy], but in my case, I usually can't play any more than four songs anymore without tiring. Unlike when I first started, when twenty songs in a row was nothing... -_-

It's affecting my rank. I've been sliding around within the overall rank 1980 - 2020 area because of my incapability of extended play.

Re: Noob Question

Yeah it does,depending on how you play I think though. I had a nurse watch me play this once(spread), and she said it made me a VERY strong candidate for it...then I played one-handed and she said it makes it MUCH more likely. So it doesn't cause it, just creates a good chance for it.
