9 months ago I suffered a nerve injury due to leaning my elbow on my desk while working on the computer. 9 months later it is still not fully healed.
However, I have found that these key factors have helped tremendously to keep my arm from getting any worse and also to keep getting stronger.
- Exercise
- Lifting light weights
- Eating Healthier
- 30 minutes of Guitar Practice Daily
So what do I practice in this daily routine? Well this routine is basically put together to get my arm stronger and to build endurance. My arm is pretty weak considering what I used to play like. I can still play but I don’t have nearly as much endurance.
I put together practice elements that are in the Blues Techniques Lessons I created last year. The lessons in the Techniques videos are still what I do if I need to get my chops back in order.
Although my arm is not fully healed yet, I feel that if I keep up this new routine, that the numbness should go away completely within the next 6 months. We shall see, but I try to stay very optimistic. I’ve overcome injuries before and I know it just takes time.
