I think my body is telling me, Yes.
A couple weeks ago I noticed a small bump on the dorsal side of my fretting wrist. I figured it was some inflammation from too many wide stretches playing Harmonic Minor runs. Or Police songs. Doesn't hurt, and massaging it reduced it's size, but the next day it would be back.
Turns out it's a Ganglion Cyst (just a non-cancerous, fluid-filled sac.) They're not sure exactly what causes them, but repetitive use and lack of Vitamin D are cited as likely causes. And yep, I haven't been getting hardly any sunlight, staying inside and playing guitar quite a bit. So reluctantly, I gotta cut back and see if this thing goes away (apparently most do.) Gonna add some extra fruits and veggies to the shopping cart later today too, as I'm sure I can do better in that regard as well.
Gotta take care of the body, cuz I don't want anything to ever prevent me from being able to play my guitar!!
