Thread Name: Guitarists problems with hands
Subject: RE: Guitarists problems with hands
Carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists was bad for guitar playing. Though Right hand was by far the worst I had op (they cut open the tube) done on Left wrist as hand was in danger of not lasting out longer songs.
Still have Right hand problem*. Steroid injection into the wrist would calm the problem for many months but the injection needle was very painful. Had several times.
* Never had R done as the op on the L resulted in hypersensitive nerves for maybe three months. Any touching with the finger tips then was very painful. OK now.
R I have to be careful not to overdo, mainly with other work, guitar ok the way I play.
