if you are creative enough to find ways to enjoy practicing for extended hours, than it is impossible to practice too much. you can enjoy many a twelve hour session (or longer) if you are focused and creatively disciplined. however, the problem with your hands most likely would be resolved by stretching more (with heating pad or in a hot shower) and relaxing more than what you are doing before and after you practice and play. make sure to do 3 or 4 reps of twenty wrist and finger stretches in each in every possible direction for best results. (twice a day for life) this goes for everybody in every type of instrument or sport. if you do not constantly remind yourself to relax more than you will never flow at that next level. we are not getting any younger and neither are our bodies. if you do not stretch, often the resulting and soon to be permanent ache in your wrist leads to the possibility of tendonitis or carpal tunnel syndrome. do not push it with pain. no matter what, if there is pain, something is wrong. stretch and relax four times what you are currently accustomed to doing and you will reap the benefit. that is not to mention that too much repeated motion may also cause the ailments, so switch your practice routine from all those one handed rolls back to the scales and so forth:)
