OHHHH, we have hit a sore spot here. lol..
Seriously. I know what your all going through. I am in the same boat. I hate waking up in the morning after te "painful" gig, and having your hands slammed shut on you. Also having to pry them open with the counter top near the bed.
Well.... hers a new one. I recently tore some tendons in my thumb (right hand mind you) and I have a cast on that goes 3/4 up the arm. YES... I still play out every other night. I did it the first night and thought my arm was gonna fall off. The muscles I awakened that night are forever awake now... and when the cast comes off, I plan to fully utilize the new muscle tone I have found!
I have worked through bleeding blisters with the rubbing of the cast on my palm, and let me tell you... this aint pretty!!
The Doc saw it on the first cast change, and they took pic's for the record of what they say..."Not to do, when you have on a cast!" Well... call me stupid... but bills have to be paid!!
