Default Paddling: Typical Injuries?

Boxers damage their brains

Runners wear out their knees.

Mountain bikers break collarbones.


What about paddlers?

Shoulder injuries, for sure... but what else?

I'm thinking about my vertebrae when I paddle - on every stroke, I visualize
them grinding back and forth as I twist my trunk, maybe wearing out the
cartilage like a runner wears out the knees/hips. Is there anything to this?

Other typical injuries?
