Rye Miles #13621 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) So this is what I have. It comes from repetitive motion. Tuning pianos !! My right hand is hurting. Doc said try this brace and ice and layoff what I’m doing for a couple weeks. Time to retire 100% I say! I’m semi retired, I do maybe one piano a day.

Dantankerous Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) I played lead trumpet for too many years. My condition was called hernia. I knew what I had before the doc told me though. Them musical instruments are dangerous to one's health. Eveyone I know who is retired highly recommends it, fwiw.

Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 You may need injections of corticosteroid medications into the tendon covering to reduce swelling. If treatment begins within the first six months of symptoms, most people recover completely after receiving corticosteroid injections, often after just one injection. Pay the lady. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulp, SASS#28319 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) You can barely make out the scar from a surgery to correct DeQuervain’s. Done in 1978, went fishing that afternoon. Edited March 20 by Pulp, SASS#28319 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
