@VerticalWit Sorry to hear about your tendonitis... try doing the routine exactly like I've demonstrated in the videos each day. You should notice improvment within one week. Good luck, and yes, you can recover.

Try doing the stretches and exercises very gently and build up strength and flexibility a little bit each day... don't force the stretch... the tingling and shooting pain will most likely diminish with time. Be patient and keep at it, you have to build strength and flexibility in order to increase circulation, the increased circulation will help the body heal itself.

Hi. Do you know the book of Sharon Butler?

It is called "Conquering Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - And other RSI" - A Self-Care Program. I love it. Got the "It isn't CTS" book too... but for me the Conquering CTS book does it. Studying computer science & playing the guitar can be quite troublesome :-/... - A LOT of stretches for hands, wrists, thumbs, fingers, arms, shoulders and back. Doing your weightlifting now too... feels good afterwards. Take care!

Thanks Zynnetrix, I just ordered Sharon's book from amazon. Thanks for the tip, I look forward to reading it and adding it to my arsenal of recovery techniques.

great info for all of us with RSI,Do you have any tips for tennis elbow syndrome?

[ottottojazz]

I'm not a physical therapist but the basic idea may hold true for tennis elbow as well. Build the large supportive muscles around the elbow. The idea is this: The increased muscle mass should improve circulation which should help the body heal itself. I would try doing light bicep and triceps curls as well as the wrist curls and stretches in the video. If you increase the muscles around the injured area, the increased circulation will speed up the natural healing process.

What does it mean if, when I do the first stretch, I feel a sort of prickly feeling at the very base of the of the palm? It feels like there is a needle shooting out of my wrist, but it is nowhere near as painful as that sounds.

Thank you for posting this. It's very clear and conveys a lot of useful information. I just wish I'd known this stuff four years ago!
