Swollen

Special pic? No, it's my wrist. Arrows pointing to swollen parts.

What happened? Was trying guitars out at the stores yesterday, wrist was swollen after some time.

Did you warm up? Yes, stretched as well. Maybe I played too fast, too much vigorous vibrato, he he...

Treatment? Self-treatment; massage + applied deep heat cream. It helped.

What would you tell others about this? Once the pain sets it- stop playing. Apply cream/ice, it helps. It happens even after you warm up, so it's not entirely your fault. Maybe you are getting old. We age every day...

ironically , i visited an osteopath today because my hand+arm kept hurting when i played guitar and did stuff at work. the cause - nerve in neck. he shifted it back for me.
