Non plaudite modo pecuniam jacite.

Hi, guitar thread. I took up playing a little less than a year ago and somehow or another I hosed up the shoulder my fretting hand is attached to. I suspect it was bad playing posture loving around in my computer chair. It might have been working out also or a combination. Anyhow, now I have tendonitis it seems and I'm freaking out. Anyone have any horror stories or, I'm hoping, chill-out-it'll-be-OK stories? My doc put me on prescription strength Aleve and it's cutting my stomach to ribbons, but I just want to be able to play again without feeling pain afterward.

does your computer chair have arm rests?

Yep. I suspect it was a combination of that and gripping too hard on bar chords because I had low gauge strings and, well, I'm new.

Thanks for listening, goons. I'm gonna stay off it for a month and keep taking the meds. I'll follow up with my GP around then. I've been stretching and I'm going to incorporate ice this weekend. I'll try and report back hopefully with good news.
