Hi Terri. I appreciate you asking about the arm. I’ve never tried or even heard of red light therapy, but I’ll definitely look into it. Someone else mentioned acupuncture , which I’ve tried in the past. The issue is the copays that are $75 a visit. I’m scheduled the 25th for my 2nd surgery to take out the fixator plate that runs from the top of my hand to about 1/2 way to my elbow. It has held my wrist completely straight while all the bones and incisions healed. It hurts, and I have a perpetual bruise and swelling of the hand and fingers from it I’m probably looking at the end of December to mid January before I can play again. I’ve been practicing finger style patterns with my right hand. It’s hit or miss on how that progresses, because I have tremors in my hands, and my hands and fingers jump and make it difficult to fingerpick. Even when I’m strumming, my right had goes rogue on me and jerks away from the strings. The left hand doesn’t like to bend fingers sometimes. I bought a slide to try, but ai can’t fret, so I’m just pushing 1 string with the tip of it, but it sounds horrible.
