Hi! It was a trial and error process. When I started experiencing pain it was on my right shoulder, so that's where I started to do the first therapy sessions. Shortly afterwards the pain shifted down to the arm and the hand. Consider I was "trapped" in a foreign country during the pandemic so it was even harder to figure out exactly what to do. When I was finally able to get back to Italy, I did all the exams but the damage was already done so the contingency plan was just to do some generic physio to the Median Nerve (hand), the Epicondyle (arm) and Brachial plexus (side neck - shoulder). As a result I don't have pain anymore, but my right thumb has been numb and tingling since that day. Quite annoying to be honest as it is a constant feeling, expecially when playing guitars or bass. I usually do stretches and avoid to play music when my hands are too cold to minimize the feeling. Hope this helps. Cheers, Adriano - theicon :)

@theIcon_official I understand very well and have been through something similar. Joint damage created from the adopted posture of being hunched over on crutches with heavy weight on my back. All that mechanical dysfunction weakened my joints and made it harder to breathe. STILL improving it. The neck and shoulder area feels stiff. That's when I found out the movement for piano is powered by the shoulders and back area. The hands just follow the arms.
