Anyone else trying to play again after repetitive use injuries? I’ve had carpal tunnel surgeries on both hands and elbow tendon surgery - all from decades of computer work. I’m slowly building my strength and endurance. If you are in this same boat, how are you doing? Do you have tips for playing without reinjuring?

I played through several injuries, usually cuts and burns as well as blisters. It takes some time to come back properly. It’s much harder when it’s at home and you are trying to push yourself, if you step up on stage your brain would automatically turn off that pain, 
That said, this recent episode of the diabetes and the Diabetic Retinopathy really took me off the bass for the first time. I’ve been off it for the last 3 months. I barely just picked up my bass again last weekend and just tried to go through my routine but it’s tough.
Take it slow.
