That sounds bad man!
Take a brake and perhaps do some harmony, theory, ear training, arranging , composing ! Use guitar pro or DAW to input midi parts

I'm no expert but I truly hope it'll pass asap!
And yeah, you can do many things while you rest your fretting hand, practice picking/strumming, learn music theory, mess around with DAWs, VSTs etc.

Your story sounds like something very serious. I would stop doing any hard activity with the arm as long as I feel any pain. It's never too late to play guitar even if you have to start from scratch. But you won't start from scratch because you can't forget it just like that. It's much like when you learn how to swim. For serious progress you need to be heathy and with no thoughts that you can make things worse. Forget about guitar for a while and do some theory, recording, listen to music etc... Your hands are more important than anything else. When you feel the pain is gone then you can slowly start playing again and I'm sure that you'll catch up much quicker than you thought without thinking of hurting your hands.

Sorry to hear about that
 It was really unlucky to have that door slamming your arm too... I'd follow doctor's advice and give it some serious rest. Otherwise you can make it go much worse. If there's something true in life is that, no matter what, things can get even worse!, so take a look on the bright side: you are not there yet and you will avoid it resting that arm! I'd give it a whole month of total rest, then carefully try again, if it' still hurt, add another month. In the meantime you can make yourself an expert DAW user, maybe learn to program some drums & bass lines, & read some theory. It will all be good to have under your belt when you are ready to rock again

Sure you can give yourself a pause from the guitar, and carry on later. If you worry about your progress - don't be. Couple of weeks of focused training will get you back in the shape in no time, so this is not a big problem. Just take your time and remember that your health is the most important thing. You can find lots of useful stuff to do during that year. Do something that it is always recommended (music theory
 ) and just enjoy music, and possibly learn to create and compose music on PC using VST instruments. This will be very valuable experience. All the best mate, I wish you a speedy recovery. Cheers -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Harmony is chord relationships, melody is note relationships!

Keep the right hand going, don't rest, and keep the spirit up with good music...
Writing music is also good idea... -------------------- |
