  1. (3/3) Those first few days were not fun.

    I did get evaluated by a doctor who basically said that playing violin had caused the tendinitis and I needed to go to physical therapy (PT)…which wasn’t a thing in the small town where my summer camp was located. :(

  2. (1/3) It’s another Sunday, and thus, it’s time to talk more about tendinitis.

    I want to delve a bit into what that initial tendinitis felt like because it was like nothing I had ever experienced before.

    I was used to the acute pain of a banged-up knee or fractured finger. Or the subtle sting of a paper cut. The pain of tendinitis was the complete opposite.

  3. (3/3) I remember setting the practice room temperature to about 68 degrees Fahrenheit because it was so hot outside. Looking back, that was the worst idea ever. Not only was I not giving myself breaks, my poor muscles and tendons were not warm AT ALL. They were quite the opposite.

    And that night, while I was lying down to go to sleep, the pain in my left wrist and forearm began.

  4. (2/3) Hindsight 20/20, it’s obvious that doing *anything* for multiple hours straight is a bad idea. But in the moment, I just wanted to be better.

    On one specific night, which I deem as the night that set everything into motion, I spent about five hours practicing a section from the 3rd movement of the Barber violin concerto, which I was intent on learning by the end of my six weeks at camp.

  5. (1/3) The summer before my junior year of high school, I attended a summer music festival for six weeks, where I was surrounded by peers who played significantly better than me.

    I wanted desperately to get better, so I locked myself in practice rooms for hours on end. I also refused to take breaks because I thought resting was a waste of time, and the concept of “over-practicing” had never been introduced to me.

  6. (2/2) Each week for the next few weeks, I will share a little bit about my tendinitis story and share a few tips that helped me mitigate symptoms and get back to playing music.

    I'm not a licensed medical professional in any way, but I do hope that by sharing my story, I can help someone dealing with something similar feel less alone :)

  7. En esta época del año, cuando le doy duro y parejo al laburo con el mouse de la compu, me arranca la tendinitis en el hombro derecho, ahora me hice un apoya-codo que me ayuda a aliviar el dolor, forradito con una media vieja para que no se me pegue a la tabla. Lo hice con una madera de un pequeño estante #diy #hum #tendinitis #trabajo #escritorio
