tomorrow I expect I won't be able to do anything with it, it's getting sorer and sorer, I can't lift anything.

If I don't org tomorrow, it's the hand.

jami0mckay said:

U know ure asking for trouble writing a thread like this. Picture the reasons why u might have hurt ure hand

chillichocaholic said:

oh I know I've done this before and all the jokes came out in full force

ZombieKitten said:

I'd get the Doc to check it out if its still bad tomorrow perhaps?

Sounds like you have a trapped nerve- they usually wear off, but get it checked out at the doctors if it gets worse!

ZombieKitten said:

Tell em its RSI

stevenpottle said:

the part that is really bad is the fleshy part under the thumb, if I close my hand, I get an acute pain

jami0mckay said:

it's happened to me lots of times, and after a couple of days it goes away, but it makes my job even harder

ZombieKitten said:

That does sound like a severe trapped nerve- go to the doctors.

ZombieKitten said:

this is what Bill Joel suggests

What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?

"Can't you tell that your tie's too wide?"

Maybe I should buy some old tab collars?

"Welcome back to the age of jive.

Where have you been hidin' out lately, honey?

You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money."

Everybody's talkin' 'bout the new sound

Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me

stevenpottle said:

maybe I get get a couple of sickies!

In that case I would suggest not to close your hand

Ratz!

My hand is stiff from holding the grip on my camera with my fingers on my right hand bent for so long.

you've done it before too?

time for a wrist brace for bed... how sexy!

im sorry about your hand. i hope its better soon.

you and i should arm wrestle, or have a one-handed typing contest.

Hopefully it's just one of those things you wake up with and wake up with it gone, too.

My hands hurt from guitar, but mostly from the damn computer! Computers are horrible for our bodies!!

Maybe some Ibuprofin could help in the meantime, and don't use it (easier said than done, right?)

I'm a little worried it is from the camera, since it weighs over a kilo and I took a few photos on Saturday, but really not THAT many.

I held it under the hot water in the shower for ages this morning, and it felt better quite fast. That means it's muscular, right?

The worst was sleeping it was ACHING, even after taking panadol. The computer makes my shoulder sore.

ZombieKitten said:

I think also tendinitis could be helped by heat. Maybe try the ice/heat/ice/heat thing combined with rest.

NDRU said:

when you have tendonitis from the guitar, which part of the hand hurts?

ZombieKitten said:

I don't know, I get sore wrists. I think it's from mousing more than guitar, though.

I also get random pains for no apparent reason that disappear for no apparent reason either.

The fleshy part under your thumb sounds like muscles to me, though., like you were gripping something too hard too long--that spot hurt me after playing tambourine too long (yes haha "tambourine" )

NDRU said:

and my other question, does it hurt when playing the guitar (supposing it IS from playing the guitar) - does the repetitive activity that causes the injury, hurt when you do it?

ZombieKitten said:

mousing does hurt me sometimes. That's why I think it's the cause, mostly. Also holding the tambourine hurt after that incident.

Guitar doesn't hurt 99% of the time, but sometimes a certain angle of the hand will hurt a bit (a little bit sharp). It does get tired, though, and can be somewhat sore (the tendons in my wrist) the day after a long show.

NDRU said:

mousing is ruled out for me, and typing too, I can do these no worries, but turning a tap on or lifting something and OUCH!!
