That's very similar if not identical to what I had
trouble with too. Has your physical therapist seen
your hand position when you play your clarinet? S/He
may be able to offer some good advice. For me, the
weight of the clarinet was not the problem (I had pain
playing the Eb clarinet) but the position of my hand
was the significant contributor.
