Topic: Cautionary tale...
I'd been playing a lot of music with fast powerchords, and was getting a pain in my elbow when playing, but it usually went away afterwards so I ignored it, then a few weeks ago, it didn't go away and got worse.
Physio diagnosed tennis elbow (quite ironic after a life time of riding horses I get a tendon injury from playing the guitar LOL!)
There is a quite a bit of stuff on the net abut guitar and RSI, so just wanted to say if you do start getting discomfort while playing, don't ignore it...
I'm playing bits at the moment, and building it back up again slowly, although at least Apache (my horse) is enjoying the break...
