I too have numbness and tingling in my hands,I was a professional guitar player for more than--35--years,I've had to give up all part time gigs. I am retired from the Postal Service but living here in Key West where I born and raised---is now very expensive so many years ago I started playing music Thursday,Friday and Saturdays for more than thirty years,we were able to pay off our house but we have children that need help and---grand children too. I've been to several doctors and haven't found any help,plus I'm an older man so I suppose every one feels my life is about over?? Any help out there? I would appreciate any suggestions, thank you

I know it must be frustrating not being able to find something that helps. From your earlier posts, it sounds like you believe the numbness and tingling in the hands may be related to the spinal infection you mentioned in earlier posts. I'm 81 and have neuropathy but it's mostly in my legs and only numbness and some tingling. I'm an older man also and have thought about where I'm at in life but prefer to just take it one day at a time and live the best I can.
The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has some helpful information if you haven't already seen it - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/. Are you still able to play the guitar for your own enjoyment?
