Posture help and carpal tunnel
Hello,
tl;dr at the bottom
This is my second attempt at playing guitar, and I would like it to stick this time. The last time I attempted playing I had to quit because I got carpal/cubital tunnel in my right hand (strumming hand) which forced me to stop playing amongst other hobbies.
Now that I'm back, I'm focusing on proper posture and technique but I'm still getting tingling/numbness in my right hand (primarily the base of my thumb as well as my ring and pinky finger). I noticed that I have tension in my right lateral epicondyle which could be the source of cubital tunnel inflammation.
I've been diligent about hand and forearm physical therapy (therabar, massage, stretching) the past two weeks, and I've included nerve glides in the past week. Every other night I'll cycle between hot and cold presses on my right arm.
Could you please critique my posture, picking technique, etc.? I really want to play, but not at the sake of my health. Thank you
tl;dr my strumming hand goes numb, please correct my technique and posture
