Sign in to disble this ad
To start off, I'm 16 and I have type 1 diabetes.
In my right hand (plucking hand), I have had bad pain for the last 4 days on my knuckles, and the area below the knuckles on my ring and pinky finger. The pain hurts on both the top and palm of my hand. The pain goes up into my forearm as well.
When I play bass, type, or fold my hand it hurts the most.
What is wrong with me?  |

I wonder what this could be. I'll go to the doctor and see if I can find out anything and report back. |

I also switched to lighter stings...seemed to help a lot. |

What is strange..those are the 2 fingers I use the 'LEAST" out of all 10!
Use them for dampening strings...
Very Weird.
I thought it might have been from slingin' a hammer or something like that...Don't know.
But I know exactly what you are talking about! |

The OTHER weird thing is that I've recently bought a drum kit and I've been playing a lot lately. Drumming is sorta the same motion as slinging a hammer and the pain has happened after I've been playing these drums.
weird..... |

I have an appointment this month..I'm gonna push a little harder to find out what it is! |
