Hand and Knuckle Swelling and Pain From Accordion Playing? There’s Hope!
I’ve been playing the accordion for over 25 years and as most of my friends know, I have been fighting hand, wrist and knuckle pain caused by countless thousands of hours of practice and performance. I’ve tried a lot of different remedies and even consulted a doctor who recommended I slow down on my finger work — like that’s gonna happen.
Since not playing is not an option I always have my eyes and ears open looking for something I can take to give me relief and let me play longer. I know most of my site followers are also accordion players so I just had to share this news.
Recently I discovered Nopalea, a great tasting wellness drink that contains rare and potent antioxidants that are scientifically proven to help the body reduce inflammation. Check out their website to learn more about it, and to get take advantage of their awesome offer to try Nopalea for free. Just pay $9.95 for shipping and they send you out a bottle to try. Call 1-800-203-7063 to get started.
I highly recommend Nopalea folks. Inflammation is the leading cause of pain and accordion players know what I’m talking about. This anti-inflammatory wellness drink made from cactus and used for centuries by native peoples could help your playing by helping your body to reduce swelling that cause pain.
Please try it out and comment below. Let me know how much it helped you too.
