Mine comes and goes. There have been 6 month periods when I couldn't even hold a stringed instrument...the pain was too great. Then, with therapy and rest, it corrected itself.

To complicate things, I got cut on the same arm 6 years ago. Now, I have a torn rotator in the other shoulder.

Like you, I think my days of playing 24 hours straight in the studio are near the end.

I have given up 4 hour gigs on upright....the hardest instrument ever, as far as tendon damage goes.

Let's just be happy we can still play, for now.
