What do you mean? A sickness caused by the instrument? That sounds scary... Shocked

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Musicians, especially piano players, can get that. But I doubt it happens very often or anything.

I have braces so after I play for a while I find that the wires have imprinted on the inside of my mouth. And like Kym my lip has teeth marks in it.

When I had braces I would have the same problem as above, a little orthodontic wax can always take care of it. Mr. Green
