TAC Setback!
As I enter year 2 of my TAC experience I’ve had a setback. A couple of weeks ago I spent a few hours playing one day, normally I play 30-45 minutes at a time so a bit more than the norm. Also, with Spring in full swing I’ve been in the garden pulling weeds, planting new shrubs, flowers, setting up the veggie garden, etc.
Out of the blue I developed some serious pain in my left wrist (fretting hand), pinky side of the wrist. I continued playing and working in the garden and the wrist did not improve, although I tried to be mindful and not push it. Playing scales, improve anything that involved the pinky was especially painful.
I went to the doctor today and he probed around and diagnosed tendonitis. The setback was no wrist bending for 4-6 weeks, no guitar!! I also don’t take ibuprofin for other reasons.
So curious if anyone else has had this issue and can share any thoughts. I realize I should follow doctors orders. Maybe take up lap steel guitar for the duration?
