hands of woe...left hand!

I guess it's old age creeping in at 58, but a few years ago, when I was playing a lot of clarinet, my hands were cramping up. Now, I'm having the same problem with my S1 I had with my R13...getting a good seal approaching the left-pinky register B from above...say, like F#-to B...anybody have this problem...solution? I know I have osteoarthritis and possible nerve damage on my left side and increasing other symptoms...looks like my playing will be limited to my apartment and making youtube recordings...if the powers that be allow it. The S1 just got overhauled and it's OK considering I paid less than $1000 to get a pro-level Buffet back...so maybe it just needs a tweak or two...

Thanks,
Barney in California
