Pain while playing guitar!! Stop!!!

Hello again,

I like to tell you about my experience a few years back. I woke up in a morning one day, without brushing my teeth or go to the washroom I get my guitar plug the cable swtich on the amp and effect and started playing "Master of Puppet-Metallica".

Just in a few minutes i started to feel the pain on my hand muscle and and palm area. But i just carried on my playing. Until one point its really heart. THen i stop and get ready to work. To tell you the truth the pain still there for the whole day. Thats the bad lesson I learnt. Do some warm up before starts playing your guitar.

The point I want to tell you today is if you feel the pain or sore in your hand while playing guitar just stop it immediately and have your some rest. Pain is your body's way of telling you that you're doing something wrong. Stop and rest is a good solution. If the pain or soreness persists, see an orthopedic specialist to make sure you aren't developing tendinitis.

In my case, i need to go to the clinic and have to put my hand bandage. The doctor advise me to rest and not to play the guitar for days. Thats awful, but even awful i heard that somebody had to stop playing guitar for month because of the same problem...

Hope it is not happens to you.
