Since I last posted, I had my hands x-rayed. Thankfully only mild age-appropriate arthritis. I then went for neuropathy testing (nerves malfunctioning?)for both hands and feet and got a clean bill of health there so my doctor decided that an MRI was not needed

But I still get aching in my hands if I practice over an hour. But.....my instinct is telling me it's NOT the piano that's hurting my fingers...it's the computer keyboard. But working in music nowadays calls for a lot of music related computer usage.

And, also, now I developed a trigger finger on the left hand little finger. The same one that comes down heavily on the piano keyboard when you're playing "stride" and the same one that comes down heavily on the Control key on the lower left of the computer keyboard.

Not sure what the next step is I have so many other things happening at the same time.
