Ouch, that's not good. Just don't rush back into playing too fast or severe pain may ensue.

I've not been able to play much for the last 6 months, I've had "frozen shoulder" so my left arm's been almost immobile. I compensated by doing a lot of tracks in Cubase/Reason, getting into a lot of electronics projects and generally finding other creative outlets. Just keep blowing the dust off the guitars for a while.

That's bad news but as Frank has suggested try and get into something else creative - it may well help when you get back to playing again!!

That's bad luck!  Is it your fretting hand or your picking hand?

ah that sucks, hope you get better as soon as possible.

I'm always scared I'll damage my hands or whatever

Though I guess, looking on the bright side, 6 weeks isn't *that* bad- and from what you're saying, you'll be fine to play again once that's over?

Something like tendonitis or carpal tunnel might be worse, where it's the actual playing which is causing the problems... that would be extremely annoying. :(

So long as you're not one of those weirdos who wank with your left hand it ain't so bad....

Get well soon dude and remember to keep your fluids up in the mean time.   :P
