 Re: Right thumb pain and double joints

Have you tried using a support such as the RDG Bhob? Unlike slings/neck straps, they take all the weight off your right arm and thumb and still allow you to play with good posture, so would probably be a benefit if you're having trouble.

I don't know who coined up the term 'double-jointed' but if it was true that would mean you have twice the amount of bones and joints in your thumbs - only in reality it means you have far greater movement in the joints compared to the average person.
