Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi ladies I haven't posted here in a while but I've been reading all of my emails from here lately, AND visiting Skwiggs blog (which was motivation to start eating right again) and I'm coming into some new issues. First off, after I type this I'll probably have aching hands because I've developed tendonitis from playing guitar. I really want to play guitar, and I'll do whatever rest I need to be able to start playing again, and I'll stop doing things that cause unecessary stress to my hands. The last time I did anything with my dumbbells (about a month ago) my fingers hurt a little when I played guitar the next day (and that was when I didn't have tendonitis). I'm afraid to do pushups (I've gone from 40 in a row to probably 0!), don't want to hurt my fingers holding onto a doorway to do pullups (from 8 to probably 0) and I'm thinking about giving up arms altogether. What is your advice? I've really gone backwards as far as my arm go, even though I have a decent *looking* tricep flex still (and that might disappear before long). I don't know if it's possible to work my arms properly and still have full guitar-playing function. Can I just pretend that my arms don't work, and continue on with the rest of BFL? I guess I'm going to try whether y'all say yes or no (!) but I just wondered how detrimental you think it might be to quit arms entirely.
