When it hits, might stop in a minute or two, or at times several minutes pass before I can move my finger(s). But it occurs more often now, usually when my playing my guitar. Right-hand is numb from middle finger to the pinky. Minor numbness in forearm and tricep.
I know when I'm licked. I'll be packing up my stuff and headed for the Guitar Center soon to sell it so someone else can enjoy it. It's obvious that I'm not. Oh well, I tried. I didn't want to admit it, but that last stroke nailed me to the floor, as we say in Texas. :mad:
