Just tap softly next time you can play.

Currently under anti-inflammation treatment and looking for a sling.
Does anyone know how long does it take for treatment back to normal without slings and if they do get back to normal, would you recommend going back to 1* and slowly progress upwards from there? BPM as well?

My hands are totally fine and more sanity than without play the game, just make sure the possitionament and way to tap it's not going to keep hurting yourself and if you feel pain press scape.

I was reading an rsi article from the forum. I find it pretty strange that the correct position is having yr hand in midair with yr tapping fingers on the keys...
(Been having my hand on the table since I started)

Hope someone who had tendonitis and recover from it can give you usefull advices, you should explain and ask the doctor anyways if you can keep using the fingers in soft way to recover faster or you should 100% stop use them.

Same thing over here.
I had a pretty bad experience with doctors the last time.It was a really long and tedious process of figuring out that it was a simple inflammation.
That was a long ago though but it looks like it's here again and it's not welcome.
I'm doing the same treatment as the last time, (medicine, cream, exercise) for over a week now with no change at all.
I can tell you that it took me little over a month the last time to heal, and as you can see it's not completely gone, or at least it can renew pretty easily, because i didn't even play anything hard at all.But it might be different for you obviously.

So quitting for a while is the only way.
Well i guess it's a good thing that it doesn't really hurt when i'm not playing, but still... i want to play.
I'm pretty much on the edge of jumping online.
It's a pretty annoying thing, but good luck.

Doc gave an approx 9 weeks minimum assuming no movement & no curling. ( I always squeeze my hands tight after every game which he said may have contributed to it)

I had no idea about that.I will change my way to tap then. Both ways are pretty similar. it's really good to know to prevent rsi.
I asked a doctor time ago If squeeze hands was negative and he said it wasn't. 9 Weeks isn't a lot. Take it easy when you back.

That's a shit :S 6 Months it's a lot.
Can you play like before the surgery or you have to take care?
