Re: Treating tendinitis

I've been dealing with similar stuff for a while. I actually ditched my neckstrap on the advice of my teacher since it was messing with my hand position making it worse. I've only been doing that for a couple weeks, but so far I don't notice much of a difference with it or without it. I still play with a (not very) supportive glove on my right hand/wrist, but I think I'll upgrade to something more like a splint (and get one for each hand since the left bothers me too at times).

I was having problems with tingling in my fingers, but that went away and I think that was more of a sleep positioning problem (I'm a restless sleeper and more often than not end up sleeping on my upper arm. When I move off it, it feels 'dead'; I'm not sure how else to describe it (asleep, but not tingling)). I still get soreness in my hands and wrists. Not all the way up to my elbow like I used to, which is good. Generally, the pain doesn't migrate higher than 1/2way up my forearm.

Good luck. I know how frustrating this can be when you just want to play.
