How can I tell a ‘healthy’ muscle build vs. doing something harmful to my hand/wrist/arm?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
You are born with a narrow passage you dont "get" it. If you do any physical activity you will likely know by know if you have the condition. Its not uncommon to feel pain when playing. Chronic pain is a red flag. Stretches and all that are great but people with CT dont heal like everyone else. You may need more time to recover.
