Coping with Loss of Dexterity: A Musician's Struggle

Musicians coping with loss of dexterity due to conditions like carpal tunnel or EDS often continue their practice but take necessary breaks and use aids like wrist and finger braces. They may experience difficulties such as fingers locking up, numbness, and pain, especially during repetitive motions. Some have had to reduce the frequency of their playing or find new interests, while others continue to play despite the challenges, cherishing the days when they can play without much difficulty.
