So I've sat down and played twice today, 20 minutes each time. I feel fine except for the fact that the technique is so different I feel like I'm starting from square one. But it's better than nothing of course. I'm still planning on seeing a specialist soon, whether it be while I'm home for christmas break or after I go back to school, I'm hoping to get some diffinitive answers. I've still got open ears to whoever posts in this thread as I have been checking every day, so any anecdotal advice or anything of the sorts is appreciated as always.

Happy New Year!
