Tendinitis? Guitar playing?

I have tendinitis for about 15 months already and I still have pain. Yet I'm still playing guitar once a week, for about 30 mins.

Need advice if I have to stop playing guitar.

If you're just recovering it probibly best to ease your hand back in , just playing lightly for short periods of time. A 30 minitue sesion is probably too much at once if it's still hurting.

You can still play but if it starts to hurt you really should stop.

I came close to getting tendinitis but managed to evoid it by doing a long drawn out warm up, starting really slow with easy movements before slowly speeding up before playing properly.

Troy stentina has some good stuff to say about the subject. http://www.stetina.com/tips.html .Check out number 11 and 12 on his guide.

So basically if i were you. Practise for only short periods at a time, warm up your hand starting really slow, and if it hurts Stop!

Don't give up but give your body a chance to recover.
