What to do for sore wrists and arms.

[Warren Fisher]

Vinny,
You may be starting to get tendonitis.  I had sore wrists at times and was
able to control it by using a wrist brace sold at Wallmart for weight
lifting and tennis.  These things are helped by an application of liniment
or Aspercreme before you tackle a tough piano as well as afterwards. 
Relaxing helps also.  I used to get down on the floor and "check" the
pedals and soundboard a lot and hope the customer wouldn't catch me with my
eyes closed. :-)
