The "C" chord on the guitar is easy--for anyone else. Having arthritis in the first finger of my left hand makes the "C" chord a b----! I don't like expressing myself that way, however, it seems that I am at my wit's end. Does anyone else out there in "Mudcat World" have this problem?

Yes, I have some minor difficulty with the C major chord, too. And that was what led me to seek medical treatment. In my case I was finally diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. I'm still seeing a rheumatologist [sp?]. I hope you'll be doing better soon.
