1 year of playing double bass! I started September of 25, it’s been a great journey learning the instrument and repertoire. Been lucky to play a lot of gigs with a lot of people way better than me. Giant Steps makes for a nice walking etude.

This time last year I started kennings Jazz. We had 15 gigs in August, playing out is the fastest way to learn this music. Instagram.com/kenningsjazz

Is it typical to have issues when gripping things? See body text for more context.

I was first diagnosed with carpal tunnel then I was told it was as thoracic outlet. I’ve been to pt, did nothing for me. Injections in the wrist and the scalenes have not helped. My ears flush and get hot whenever I massage my scalenes. When I do certain stretches blood rushed to my hands, and everything gets hot. On top of that I also can’t grip small objects like nail clippers to utensils for more than 30 seconds without getting numbness. Thumb opposition also causes numbness, is that typical with Thoracic outlet. I was told I have NTOS, not vascular but the rushing of blood has me wondering.. I also have no pain, just numbness. If I massage the muscles I can feel that they’re sore but they never hurt otherwise. My elbows will hurt from time to time as well, but nothing serious.
