Good Morning, Folks

Hope you're all having a great weekend & festive season!

The above has set in over the past few weeks (ie painful hands) - already have peripheral neuropathy in both feet & hands.

I'm a male 38 year old type 1 who has had this for 32 years November gone (also stage 2 retinopathy & ED) I have also been hypertensive since the age of 20!!

My question is this - I've played bass (and a little bit of acoustic) since my teens - if I played my bass again would it help with painful hands, or make them worse?

Many thanks for your time & input in advance!!

Neal
 
Hi Neal and welcome to the forum.

Who can say if it will help with your neuropathy problems , just keep playing until it gets too uncomfortable, if unsure what to do then speak with your consultant first, as with regards to your retinopathy problems, have a goo read around the following which has some great advice and information on diabetic retinopathy:
