Injuries are possible from repetitive motions in juggling, common ones
being tendonitis and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. My orthopedist gave me
a couple reccomendations to avoid these
   1) vary the practice/routine to bring different motions in fairly
         frequently. I was advised not to go more than about 15 min without
         a change, but thats me.
   2) listen to your body. If it hurts, rest. Note that there are different 
          kinds of hurt and some kinds are just saying that you are getting
           excercise, and others are saying you are getting injured
   3) warm up
   4) don't lock up your joints (esp wrist) for fear of getting a pull or
          sprain from impoact
   5) conversly, don't let your joints be too loose for fear of getting an
          injury from hyperextention
  
and 6) (this is mine) if you are getting joint pain, you can try changing
       your technique to lessen injury (for me, changing my club technique
       really lessened my tendonitis)

most of all, use your head.
