Question
noahfence
Seems the two tendons that control my thumb on my strumming hand (Right) are pretty well toasted. About a year ago I was in a guitar store, and went to grab a guitar off the rack (bottom rack thankfully). I suddenly had no grip, and an immense amount of pain.
That was over a year ago, and while the pain is only infrequently now, it's getting worse. I fear my guitar playing coupled with typing all day long has caught up with me. Never really played much because my wife was in a pretty well respected band back in the day and I was too intimidated to learn how to play while living with a pro.
Finally said "fuck it" after learning about RS1. Took the plunge and now I play all the time. But I have to stop. Friggin drag. Doctor's Orders. Not sure for how long.
Anyway - if there is someone else who was in the same boat, unable to play due to a repetitive motion injury, are you still suffering, and if not, how long does this take to heal? I've had 3 visits to the Physical Therapist, so I think I'm on the road to getting it fixed, but I don't know when I'll play again.
