I’ve started struggling with some De Quervain’s tendonitis (wrist & thumb tendonitis) in my left/ fretting hand. This is the first time I’ve had any hand issues with playing. It actually doesn’t hurt to play. Just some very mild discomfort with a few things. But there are hand movements during the day are painful. I looked online for some gentle stretches & exercises for De Quervain’s, and I’m backing off on practicing a bit. Wearing a wrist brace for sleep makes it hurt a lot more. I’m also trying to ice my wrist & thumb, but that hurts a lot.
Anyone experience this problem? What did you do for it? Not playing for an extended period of time would make me very sad.
