Subject: RE: BS: RSI/Tendonitis & alternative treatments
Yeah, a little over a month ago I was headed right for yet another bout with what I call "Picker's Elbow" so I threw the thread on here that Kat put up in her earlier post. What really made this case worse than others is that I was going to be ar Blues Week at Davis and Elkins on July 7th for a week of intensive pickin. Well, lots of good suggestions but what worked for me was Tiger Balm, which was all I could get a hold of, and several deep tissue massauges a day with the balm.

Well, I'm here to swear by that treatment 'cause it not only stopped the stuff in its tracks but I've been pickin ever since.

Now here's the hard part. Ya gotta use your thumb to find "the spot". You know, "the spot". Well you're gonna have to hold some uncomfortable pressure on "the spot" for several seconds and then let up slowly and then repeat 4 or 5 times then massauge whole muscle from the wrist to the elbow. Repeat 4 or 5 times a day and you will get results. If not I'll galdly refund you the cost of the advice, less the balm... Jus funnin. It will work!
