Yowch! Any injury that affects instrument playing is the unfairest of all (been there before) - rest up, and hope you feel better soon (they do heal up).

Annoying - I assume resting is the only cure, right?

Take it easy,

Yes, it is. Or better, it's the most important part of the therapy

Sorry to hear. I hate these kinda stories so here is my advice.


I ruptured a tendon in my wrist before and saw many doctors about it and  they said to rest it and put cold on it and heat on it but not to do anything. For 2 years i could not play guitar the same. It was very stressfull and i wasn`t happy for a long time. So what i did was went against their advice and started doing wrist exercises with weights. I also did the same thing with my back problems. If you build a little muscle and make it strong it will only get better unless you have a tear or herniated discs i do not recommend my advice. If it is still swollen just wait for a time where you feel is right and just start out with a light weight.

Doing nothing does nothing in my opinion. I hope you get better so we can hear more recording soon.

That's bad

Hope it clears up soon.
