I'm glad I found this thread. I can relate. I took piano lessons as a youngster and hated them. I took lessons again around 20, but the instructor moved away, and I quit. Fast-forward 40+ years, and I purchased a DGX-670.
I have started taking Blues lessons online and have found that my body requires some help.
My wife has me on B12 and Vitamin D. She has suggested Turmeric, but I'm not taking it yet. I'm active (68), playing golf when the weather allows, street hockey, wallyball, and mountain biking.
My fingers at times ache, but I have found that stretching and Hanon exercises help for a warm-up. My right shoulder has caused me trouble and PT has given me exercises which I sometimes get around to doing, which help.
I had spinal surgery 3 years ago, and PT told me I'd be doing stretches every day for the rest of my life to function. I comply. Each morning after breakfast, I spend about 30 minutes doing multiple stretches, which include stretching my fingers.
I want to be able to play my keyboard when I get old, so I'm interested in others' suggestions and ideas to keep feeling young.
I'm wondering if anyone has tried using a Tens Unit?
