Hi there
I've been looking for threads on injuries caused by instruments but I can't think of the right keywords to use. One of my new playing colleagues has a swollen knuckle, painful arm and weakened elbow which she thinks might be caused by repeated practice on the melodeon. She recently swapped from two straps to one because the blood was draining out of her hands. Anyway she is going to the doctor but I said as well as an ordinary medical opinion, folks on here had more specialist knowledge. I also suggested she should take the instrument to the doctor so he can see exactly what she does with it.
Can anyone direct me to relevant threads? Hopefully she will visit the site soon and join in if you can manage not to be too sarcastic about melodeons please!
