Practice With Injury Options

[kaznie_NL]

Hey GMC,

I've gotten myself a little injury while playing guitar, Ivan already found the most probably problem in my playing, bad posture I'll have to fix that, but for now, I'll first have to wait with playing guitar, because my right shoulder should heal properly before I can play without pains So... my questions:

I think I have what's called tendonitis, meaning the place where your tendon connects to the bone, there's inflamation. I think I have that on my right shoulder, but not very bad. It's just a sensitive spot, and I feel it in a few everyday things, like pushing a door open with the outside of your arm.
for instance, if you stand straight up, with your right arm between you and a wall, knuckles facing forward, and your push your arm outside against the wall, my shoulder hurts. Well not when YOU push, of course, when I do does anyone know any exercises to help it heal quicker? Now, after I quit playing for half a week, the pain disappears, but playing for ten minutes and it hurts the next day not a lot, just a anoying bit

Then the second question, does anyone have an idea on how to improvemy general guitar playing in any way, without demanding anything from the right arm? There has to be some way

I also have a gig next wensday and practice on Tuesday that'll mean a bit of a sore arm on thursday any tips on how to minimize the injury after playin? ofcourse stretching is important, but maybe more?
