<p>thanks yall, I use a ergo mouse. Ive been in the printing trade for almost 30 yrs, silk screen then offset. Dragging a 24-96"squeege across the screen messed up my forearms. But I was young and it didn't hurt so much. I am really enjoying minstrel banjio and sure don't want to stop. I need to take I slower,and build up. But moderation has never been my strong suit.</p>
<p>I did get a hooks thimble, I thought it would maybe make me strike softer, but it hasn't. I just enjoy the loudness…</p>

<p>I think Tim had problems, I think caused by playing a banjo with a neck that was long. He sold it to me and I had some problems with tennis elbow, possibly from the same banjo. Tim, chime in. Could it be the neck length that is a problem?</p>

<p>Is using a computer mouse in your right hand aggravating your CTS ? If so, you can switch to a pen and tablet, which completely changes your hand/wrist/forearm position at the computer. It might be just enough to move things in the right direction again. Another (though less effective) thing is to try a very different mouse shape than what you;'ve been using.</p>

<p>I've had extreme pain in my right elbow for months now (injured it) and I sure can <strong>sympathize</strong> Steve. I feel lucky i can play through it to a certain extent.</p>
