Injuries

I think you just over did it, Same thing our band has a new Guitarist first practice we went 5-6 hours straight later that night I went into shock from the pain
yesterday we played 5 hours still sore but nothing like the first practice
I didn’t realize that you were the one that went in to shock...I thought that you were referring to a new guitarist in your band. Sorry sir.
 
First sorry for the pain Gman and Plexi --- DUDE -- take breaks-- Hydrate-- something! SHOCK not GOOD!

I have an issue Ive had for years and it gets worse with each passing year -- I assume its the carpal tunnel and arthritis (fingers joints have a level of pain 24/7 00 but they will just NOT work (like when typing) or playing the brain sends the single the hand just FLUBS --- this is EVER more noticeable in small delicate gestures (like writing or playing) AFTER strenuous activity like weightlifting-- or post hole digging---chopping wood -- moving hay bales etc etc.

For example last SUnday our daughters cat passed away (after 18 YEARS) -- they are in a "park" so burial there was not an option -- I was playing guitar when they arrived......I then DUG A HOLE.....and when I went inside to write down a shopping list I couldnt USE THE PEN ...couldnt write my name......took several minutes shaking my hands and stretching to USE my hands ....as I say it gets worse each year --tiny dexterity things are disappearing-- like dealing with small screws on a pickguard...........or SOLDERING-- Im afraid another decade I wont be able to....... well type and annoy all of you ;)

can hand and finger exercise help? im really sorry to hear that bro, please look after yourself, i like your messages so i want to see them more.

i remember seeing Dave Mustaine interview him talking about losing his movement on his fretting hand, he done some kind of electrical shocks and stuff to get signals going now he is ok.

so stop digging holes man and get someone to help you with that kind of tasks.

it will be better for you in long run.
 
thanks Ramo--
well.... I dont ever like digging THOSE holes -- but its a farm and well holes need a diggin...... exercise seems to make it worse oddly enough--
years of abuse and injuries -- multiple broken bones in both hands and wrists over the years .... just gotta "power through"
