It's not such a big deal, but I've had some interesting responses here. That's part of why I post

if you are a guitarist, I think that's a big problem, because you will decrease the quality of playing the guitar

steevc (73) · 7 years ago

Of course, but we have to cope with what life throws at us

I agree, but I just sing about your hobby or your profession as a guitarist, I can only encourage and support for your healing

I didn't think much about my health until this summer, you only know when it is too late (not that neither of us had any fault in being ill).

I usually get out of my self-pity by remembering my self invented maxim: There is always someone who has suffered more than you have, there is always someone who carried themselves with more dignity.

I made it for fun but there is some truth in it. I meet people who got along with under much conditions, and who carried the burden with out any whimpering.

I immediately thought of your guitar playing, but it is at least the right hand so you can use a guitar pick! Then I thought of Django Reinhardt

I actually feel lucky as my life has been pretty good and many people have it much worse. Django is an inspiration. I've played some of his tunes, but not got into the chord shapes he used. He had to adapt to having a lot less use of his left hand. I like the gypsy jazz stuff and would like to find time to study it more

Sorry to hear this is affecting you. I wish I had some magic insight that would help, but unfortunately I don't ;-(

Would electric shock therapy to stimulate the nerves help, do you think?

Well my specialist couldn't suggest anything and he's supposed to be one of the top people in his field. Maybe my body just needs re-wiring.

Hmm.... I've got a friend called Igor. He's really handy with a needle and thread. He lives up Lancre way. Maybe he can help you ;-)

An Igor might be handy

I am sorry it interferes with your playing. That would upset me too. Getting older is not fun! But yes I agree some people are way worse off and we all must be grateful for what we have. Jeff Healy was another guy ThT came to mind when you mentioned Django. Keep playing and rocking out dude!!

Two things, one to research one to ponder:

Research Cubital Tunnel I posted on this over a year ago as well.

And Toni Iommi lost two finger tips as plays with ones he made himself (well did years ago).

All the best.

I know of many guitarists who coped with much worse, e.g. Django Reinhardt. My left index doesn't fully straighten, but I get by with that.

A greeting my dear friend, I have had many patients in my practice during my short career of medicine, not the exact cause of your difficulty, but one of the most important things is to maintain a good mood, followed by physiotherapy, these practices It brings extremely good results, they are not short-term results but if in the medium or long term, another of the things that can help a lot are multivitamin injections such as the B complex, as long as you are not allergic to these medicines. I recommend that you continue to give movement to your hand and little by little you will see good results.

Being a guitar player myself I can understand how painful this disorder may be. Is the last picture of a planet waves finger exerciser?? I have one. If you don't mind then I have a few recommendations. There is a form of yoga called hand mudras that uses hand gestures. You need to be patient and need to practice religiously. Give it a try if you wish.

Please google appropriate symptoms for proper guidance. I am leaving an example video for introduction.

I hope it helps,it has benefited me immensely. Cheers!!

It is a Planet Waves gadget.

There are some bold claims in that video. There are so many alternative therapies that claim a lot and it can be hard to know what to try.

It's basically a gamble and you are in need so there is no way you can verify before trying it for some time. You can read about Reiki too.

I know someone who does reiki, but I'm sceptical about some therapies

if I read about your finger, that your finger is very useful for you. I hope to recover soon. I give a little advice, such case treatment is with massage therapy. because that is the problem is the tendons of your fingers are not running normally, there are your veins are sandwiched between your muscles. may be useful. thank you

Hold on, I believe that you can be healed. My father has the same problem. He did not worry much and eventually his 5th finger completely stopped bending. So, that you are doing everything right, that immediately started to deal with this problem. So, you have a chance to recover. Good luck to you and good Health.

Держитесь, я верю, что вы можете исцелиться. У моего отца такая же проблема.Он не сильно волновался и со временем его 5-й палец совсем перестал разгибаться. Так, что Вы все правильно делаете, что сразу начали заниматься этой проблемой. Так, у Вас есть шансы излечиться. Удачи Вам и хорошего Здоровья.

havent thought that you are a guitarist other than being a crypto junkie hehe @steevc, indeed we must value our health ;))

pgarama (46) · 7 years ago

It's cool you're still playing the guitar despite all of this. Keep on rocking!

vinmaru (47) · 7 years ago (edited)

@steevc I hope the hand gets better and you can keep on playing the tunes on your guitar... Cheers
Not sure if it will help, but you can always try medical marijuana... it definitely won't hurt ya...LOL

rabeel (71) · 7 years ago

Very sad to hear about your hand problem @steevc. I pray for your quick recovery. You should not lose your hope, first of all full faith on GOD and also do some minor exercises. hopefully you get rid of this problem soon.

steevc (73) · 7 years ago

Not sure He can help, but exercise might :)

Yes its a minor hqndicap. Believe me you can improve it by doing exercise.

but it makes me appreciate what I have lost.
Well said we don't thankful to God for all his blessings until we lost some thing. May be it's in human instinct. You are doing a great work by exercise.
Hopefully you will see improvement one day.All the best cheers @steevc
