I was just wondering if bar size makes any difference in left hand cramping while playing?

I find if your hand cramps, the back of your guitar is probably too high or too low.
if your wrist makes either a hump or a valley, you'll pinch the tendons, and your hands will start cramping, and switching to a different size bar will get you a 10 minute relief, and you will have to switch back.
