It's sometimes been better and sometimes been worse, but it's always come back, and now I'm really tired of it. It started with some pain in my back, and a soda like feeling in my arm, so I rested from the guitar for 2 weeks (this was back in december) and it got better. Then very soon after I started playing again, it got worse, so I barely played guitar for that month, and I went to see a physiotherapist, who said it was because of me having a weak back, and a slanting spine that made my shoulder blade kind of block some nerves, and that I could play guitar as much as I wanted, I just needed to get some muscles in my back. Time goes, and the back et a bit better (or at least not any worse), but I start to feel more in the arm and in the left hand. After going to a naprapatition (if that even is a word, for you swedish people: naprapat) it got a bit better, at some points I didn't feel any pain. The problem is, now, my back is a lot better (but still not perfect) but I get that soda like (I'm sorry that I can't describe it better) feeling and I feel I have a llot less power in my hand and and around my wrist, so I'm wondering if it's still the same problem as it was ebfore and if anyone has any tips at all, I would be extremely grateful. I know this isn't the best place to ask, but I still know that some of you has been through injuries, and any help I can get would be great. (And I just called the physiotherapist again, so I'm hoping for some help from there aswell.) Anyways, if you feel you've got anything that could help, I'd be extremely grateful to hear that.

He's been to a physio appointment every week for about 3 months and they work on his arm and back quite intensely to get the muscles there better and he plays guitar every day and he has noticed now that the pain has gone away entirely and isn't coming back. He finished his physio appointment a few weeks back and the pain has gone and the physio said that it is unlikely to come back. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

The only problem is that it's amazingly expensive, but if it's the only way I guess it's worth it. I'll definetly consider it after I meed that physiotherapist again. Thanks a lot, it also feels good that I'm not the only one with this You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

We are at a sports university here at Loughborough University and they have some of the best physios in the country. You need an extended physio course over a month or two. 3 weeks won't solve anything. It isn't a minor problem but it is minor if you sort it out as otherwise it will just get worse. I hope you sort it out. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

I hope you sort it out. Yeah, but it's hard to know who are good and who aren't. I'm gonna see what I do after I meed the physiotherapist the next time, wich will probably be in a month or something since the swedish health care system is the wait it is.

IT can mean a lot. Yeah, I know, I started to work out a lot more (nothing super heavy, but I've been trying to excercise like 3 days a week), and it got better for a while, but now it's worse again.

Did you try doctor council to see what therapy is best suited for you? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Yeah, I got some excercises and stretches that I keep doing, I changed what chair I use when I sit at the computer and many things. I even changed how I sleep, but it's not getting better:/ You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I sure hope your not suggesting people here that excercise like walkin or going to the gym are useless if you don't ALREADY have some sort of an health problem, I sincerely hope I understood you incorrectly...
