Re: What ail's the mandolin player? Is overuse injury common?
Yes overuse (repetitive motion) can result in an injury. In the wonderful Fretboard Journal article on Andy Statman a couple years ago, he mentioned how he had to balance his clarinet playing with the mandolin to prevent problems. Any physical job, if the motions are repeated, can result in injuries.
