It's now for 1,5 months that i'm not really able to play any guitar, i've went to some doctors and here's my story:
One day I started to feel pain I suddenly felt pain in my left elbow and especially in my left wrist. It started with a difficult classical song with wide intervals. Then I went to a doctor and I had to take some pills. But that didn’t work and I went to a sports doctor and he said it was an overload, and they were 2 ways to heal it: 1. warm my arm up with some sort of things with seeds in that you can warm up in the microwave ( I don’t know how to translate it) and I had to stretch my arm. But that didn’t work so I’ve did way 2 and that was that I should go to another doctor and he putted some needles in my arm to relax my muscles ( in Belgium that’s called acupunctuur ) But that didn’t work also so I have to go back to the second doctor. It’s now for a month and a half that I can’t play so I’m really tired of it. Does anyone been through the same and has some tips? And is it tendonitis, because I’ve been reading some stuff about that on the forum. I always feel pain, not just when I attempt to play guitar. I mostly feel pain in my elbow and upper arm and shoulder, but often in my lower arm too, so its actually in my whole arm. I’m actually able to play guitar without that much of pain so I’m wondering if I’d just better ignore the pain and play like I used to play? Does anyone has some suggetions or something?
Thx
