Oh, I understand--that's why I've quit drumming. Being a percussionist wrecks your hands--I'm right-handed but I'm actually a left-handed drummer and I play hand drums like dumbeks and djembes, riqs and with my right hand I play bodhran. I protect my left hand from injury since I fret with it. When I was in the hospital yesterday I begged like mad not to let them put the IV in my left hand!
I will say that cramping eases with time but I do spend part of every blessed day doing hand strengthening excercises. Classical guitars---like my 12 string--hurt far more to play due to the wide neck. I am playing Zoe, my electric more often because her skinny neck and fast fretboard let me do things I can't do on other guitars (she's a 'short-scaled' Les Paul type--a rare Samick Silvertone with the sweetest tone--but one of her dual humbuckers needs replacing and I need to sink some cash into her---but she's worth it.)
