Hi everyone,
I do not know if this information has been passed along before, but in light of all the posts regarding hands pain, I thought I'd submit a solution that helped me a lot.
To make a long story short, I have had all sorts of bad LH pain since I got my fretless. Recently, I found this website and it helped me a lot.

I do the routine, including stretching all fingers sideways (which is not in the routine) for about 10 minutes before practicing and it works magic for me!!!
Hope this can help a few folks here!!!
Regards,
Dave
