OKAY SO
Last night, I was working with a drum pad and practicing rudiments trying to solidify my speed and strengthen my weak hand-- so I worked my weak hand a lot more than the other one, but all in all, I wasn't practicing for very long.
The next morning I noticed my wrist and forearm of my dominant hand kind of aching and the muscle on the outside of my forearm may have been swollen, so I took some painkillers to reduce any swelling there may have been.
Earlier, though I told myself I would rest tonight, I ended up drumming. I didn't drum for very long, and again, this time, I did most of it with my pedals (strengthening my weaker foot).
When I stopped I noticed that now BOTH of my wrists and forearms and even my elbow joints having the same aching as this morning? I wasn't drumming for that long, and I don't think my grip or posture was bad.....
Should I be concerned? Should I take more painkillers or apply ice? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING ??? PLEASE HELP ME
