So, we have had a few threads, some lengthy, about arthritis and other guitar player taboos. I started a big one myself a few years back.
Well, now it seems I need to have carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand-I am a righty (player) so, yes, my fretting hand.
Coming up in 2 weeks. Plus trigger release for thumb and index finger on that same hand.
Curious, I have read quite a bit of course, since learning this. But have yet to talk to, be it the web or in person to anyone that has actually had this done...A guitar layer I mean. Doctor tells me I could resume playing after 6 weeks. I do have a plan, finish up thew family CD I have been making forever and never finish. Guitar tracks will be all done in a week..Most were already. Drums, keys and Bass also are all done- Raw. So for 6 weeks I can mix and also record vocals . Should be fun.
So anyone have real life experience with this? either your self or someone you know well?
I am a bit worried, I am an old guy here-Viet Nam vet gives you an idea.
Doctor is very experienced and well spoken of. She treats vets who are much , much worse off - She is hand specialists...orthopedic Surgeon.
Sorry if I ramble, just a bit nervous.............................Thanks Frank
