When I first started french horn, i was so excited that I practiced for about an hour. This was the first wind instrument I had ever played, so I wasn't used to it AT ALL. I was dizzy and lightheaded from all the air, and I remember getting yelled at by my mom. My lips were so swollen, she thought I was pouting!

My alto saxophone still gives me sores in my lip. I utterly hate it, but I could never give up playing my saxophone. :XP

haha both of my marching instruments. freshman year, my flute ripped my pinkie open and this year i have carpal tunnel in my right hand due to my alto sax. if u don't know, carpal tunnel is like...well i'm not sure if it's an injury or disease, but the things called repetitive stress injury...but its kinda like artheritis, my hand swells up like a balloon (especially near my thumb) and hurts like a mother! it also gets where i can't move it it's so stiff and sore. so i have to wear a brace everytime i play including tournaments and crap.

I used to march on a 'baby' marching tuba, and it would always hit/bump me in the head, even when I didn't march (I even bumped myself in the head during a competition... D: ) . XD It was heavy for a baby!!! Now I play on a big marching tuba that's lighter. :3

When I played oboe, I would always bump (and break) the reed with my teeth...and nearly asphyxiate myself with the lack of air. When I played trumpet, my lips would get SO swollen. Now that I play clarinet, when I play for a long time, it feels like my cheeks are being ripped apart. (I'm talking about the cheeks on my face.) Oh yeah, also I think I have carpal tunnel. When I'm lifting books (sometimes when I'm not doing anything) a painful, electrical wave will pass through my hands and wrists, especially my right hand, which supports the clarinet more than the left one. Pops and cracks are commonly heard from my hands (esp. from the right hand....that one has been bruised before from playing too long.)

I've manged to bruise myself under my lip twice with my flute. I still haven't figured out how I manged to do that.
When I first started playing flute I could barely play a song that was a page long because I would always hyperventilate on my flute. It gave me nasty headaches.
If I play my high notes for too long and too loud, my hands will start to vibrate and then my face when I'm not playing. It's a really weird sensation.

have a dent on the inside of my lower lip from my clarinet. Ocassionally, I break open the dent or my actual lip. One of our freshman's mom decided she didn't want her to get carpal tunnel, so occasionally she has to wear a brace. I don' blame her. My mom got carpal tunnel in her hand(Likely because she is a former clarinet player herself) and had to have surgery on it to fix it, without any anesthetic except some numbing medication.

I can't complain too much because I play probably the easiest instrument to hold, but have any other clarinet players had up to four callouses on their thumb at one time?
And how is it that one of the lightest instruments is also one of the most dropped?

Erugh.
I play flute. Yet I can't keep having my pinkie pressing my foot joint's keys for a period of time..
Everytime I do that, my pinkie just cramps up and doesn't move for a few minutes.
It's just annoying. But I'm pretty used to it now.

silentswordsman12 I can't complain too much because I play probably the easiest instrument to hold, but have any other clarinet players had up to four callouses on their thumb at one time? And how is it that one of the lightest instruments is also one of the most dropped? I had a squishy thumbrest on mine for some time to prevent callouses, but it fell off and I lost it(reapeared suddenly some time later in my case, which I had completely cleaned out the night before. Keep in mind nobody had been near my case) I still haven't put it back on and might get a new one in a different color(got bored of blue) So at the moment, I have a nice callous, but it isn't as bad as the one on the girl i gave my red squishy to(bleeding, infected, gross looking, open wound. Ow.) And then I carry my case around school with me because my last period is off campus and across the school from my band room, so instead of trekking back to school, my parents pick me up at my last class, so if I don't have my instrument with me, I'm not taking it home. Also, I have a really hard case, so now I have some nice callouses on the palm and jointed parts of my right hand, obviously the one I hold my case in.
