As u might know from my other thread i have had some serious pain in my arms for about 2-3months and i thought it was carpal tunnel syndrom..
I went to a doctor today and she told it was an inflammatory in my muscles, what a relief!! 
She prescribed anti-inflammatory and told me that it will go away after 2weeks of treatment, this is for me, GREAT NEWS, i thought i wasn't going to play bass again for like a year! 
In 2weeks i'll be back practicing several hours today, can't wait!!!  |

| | Sex Strings | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Blackpool, United Kingdom | | I had similar problems about 6 months back - didn't go to the doctor though... was always "going to go next week". Anyway, it's all ok now... I get aching when I play some fast stuff, but I just think that's just my muscles getting used to it (my band are getting faster and more complex all the time - I've started to play with my third finger too).
I do get twinges in my fingers every now and again though... but then again, I work on a PC all day as a programmer so my fingers are constantly on the go.
Anyway, glad it's not CTS! I dread the day that I get that

I don't actually know any stretching exercises... I just push my hands together and try to stretch all of my fingers and muscles in my arms.

My approach on the bass is really really relaxed, both right and left hand technique. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
