Not me - has he consulted a doctor yet ?

| I haven't heard of anything like that either, but there was a
discussion of various playing related ailments in the GUITAR conference
not long ago. You may want to check that one out and post your
question there too, as there are more guitar players reading that file.

| 590.3 | Maybe | NEEPS::IRVINE | ME5 = My Ego X 500% | Mon Jul 03 1989 04:23 | 7 |
| It coould be a form of "Tendonitis". The inflamation of the tendons
in the hand.
This could be a lot of rubbish, but I have heard of this happening
and it was attributed to Tendonitis.

Whitesnake's Adrian Vandenberg is currently suffering from Tendonitis
I believe.

It used to happen to me but then I Stopped wearimg my watch when
I would play.

| 590.6 | Same goes for anything that might restrict circulation | CSC32::G_HOUSE | Be excellent to everyone! | Wed Jul 05 1989 12:13 | 6 |
| I can't wear my watch when I play either. It doesn't do anything to my
fingertips though, just makes my fingers feel strange. Actually I get
the same thing when typing sometimes, so I generally don't wear my
watch at work either.

| 590.7 | Quick Doc. I got my fingers in this bag here! | 49ER::R_WAMELING | I like to ride my bike. | Wed Jul 05 1989 14:55 | 17 |
| This guy is the kinda guy who wouldn't go to the doctor til his
fingers fell off.
Going on the hunch that it might be tendonitis I'll suggest that
he do what my doctor told me when I had tendonitis.
Go ahead and practice on it and immediately after, ice for 10 min.
on then 10 min. off then repeat. I had tendonitis in my right forearm
and was lifting weights and this cure worked.
But with fingertips turning "dead skin" white I'm wondering if
tendonitis can cut off circulation? He does not wear anything on
his wrist.
Whatever it is, it doesn't effect his playing.

| I get the "white pockets under the calous" syndrome too, but my hand
doesn't get numb. Tell him to see a doc. Tell him to relax his damn
hand when he plays !!!!

| nobody is going to see this since this note is so old, but just in
case......not that i'm a doctor, but this sounds like Carpal Tunnel
Syndrome....(CTS).....if left untreated it can get serious....it
happens as a result of very repetitive motion of the hands, fingers,
wrists...etc......hits' people in all professions, guitar players and
drummers are very susceptible actually...........anyone that does the
same thing over and over again......anyway, it's something to bring up
to a qualified doctor............../karen

My mother has that, pretty nasty I guess. Of
course we will see this, most people use next
unseen, so it will automatically go to this
