Hi Ecca
Can you knit me a Gibson too??

I'm only 37 and i sometimes get a little pain in my fingers on my left hand, sometimes it goes away but if i play the guitar for more than an hour it tends to stay. If i stop playing it goes away after a few hours. It probably doesn't help that i type at work a lot then play the guitar at home, i guess its just general wear and tear.
Over the last few months the pain has got more noticeable so i'm trying to limit my guitar playing to a few nights a week now.

That might be RSI. Worth getting your doctor to take a look, as the two conditions are managed differently.

Hi Iain,
12 years ago I had really painful arthritis in my right hand middle finger knuckle joint for about 6 months .
Someone suggested one of these :- http://www.magnetsforall.com/site/13465 ... 84-6092171
I bought one and in under 1 week the pain had gone completely. I wear it 24/7 and wouldn't be without it.
It may not work for everybody but it does for me.
Worth a try... Phil

Hi Iain, my wife has rheumatoid arthritis problems. A few months ago we purchased a hand-held "Bioptron" (light therapy) device. So far, it has helped her a lot. It is also great for a wide range of ailments and health problems so buying one would be an excellent investment, especially since we are not getting any younger.

It's also great for the whole family.

Suffering from knee athritis, I have been using Rottapharm glucosamine tablets for years with noticeable improvement.
