Having experienced a couple of bouts of repetitive stress injury that reduced or prevented me from playing music for extended periods of time, my advice is- Don't ignore it! Seek a professional's opinion, one who deals with computer related rsi's or similar. Generally, if there is an actual injury (tendon, nerve etc) it will not improve without rest and some additional treatment. Don't just take the opinions of other musicians, do a lot of research on your own and get treatment. This is a very good place to start: http://eeshop.unl.edu/music.html Sharon
