I am going into surgery in a few hours to address an issue in my forearm called compartment syndrome. Essentially, the fascia surrounding my forearm flexors is so tight that the muscle and ulnar nerve are severely constricted.
No, it did not come from drumming. (I would ask that too) but rather it is a genetic pre-disposition coupled with a weightlifting injury I suffered a few years ago that also erniated two discs in my cervical spine.
They tell me my recovery will be quick and I will be good as new. I sure hope so.
I will have eight weeks to work on everything but my left hand. Any ideas on stuff to work on besides double bass?
