i have been rockclimbing for about 2 years before i started twirling so that might of been an influence, but no sudden impact, just gradual over the years i think

3 weeks is nothing...until the other night, I hadn't picked up my stix for about 6 months!! All I can recommend you do is perhaps work on your other hand/arm. My left hand is generally very uncooperative and I would love to isolate it and train it into submission! I'm very undisciplined though...even if I say to myself "i'm only gonna spin with my left hand tonight" I can't help myself; the right hand comes out and dominates the scene.Sieze the opportunity
okay, so I re-read your post and actually paid attention...I see that both your shoulders are out of action. poor bugger. I now suggest you ignore the above!Re; tendonitis. I've found that I actually get a form of tendonitis in my (right) thumb area when I twirl a lot. any ideas on how to prevent this, aside from changing the way I hold the staves (not going to happen!)?flash.

be positive smitty. 3 weeks is nothing compared to the future you'll have with twirling. I admire your passion though. Perhaps you can use this break to search out some suitable tunes for your impending routines?! You asked before about difficult tricks; maybe you can map out a 'kata' - a fire dance containing your highest ideals in terms of mood, length of time, music, tricks and transitions. Really take the time to think about it, then when you repair, you can set out to perfecting it. Also, may sound wanky, but if you take this time as a positive, objective break in your spinning, maybe that positive energy will flow throughout your body and aid in the strengthening of your shoulders...?I think I'd rather not use anti-inflamms. Maybe I'll put some arnica or tiger balm on it and tape it up. hmmm.just thoughts.flash

well, what's your style, irrespective of your current ability? are you like the warrior on that vid, are you a acid-eating spun out elf, are you more fluid and smooth and see spinning as a tribal, spiritual thing or are you a show-off (nothing wrong with that!) planning to wow onlookers? Do you get off on people being impressed by what you do, or are you in it 99% for yourself?After determining your style, think about the music. listen to the chosen piece and visualise yourself with your staff. at peaks in the music, think of a poignant trick - high toss, very fast hand to hand figure 8 etc. Don't worry if you can't do it now, because one day you'll do it with ease. during the intro or lows in the music, find a suitable trick. I always start with a helicopter in front of my body - it gets me into the flow and rthym. then go from there.each to their own though, eh? I love it because of its uniqueness.

i try not to be specific in my twirling, i figure the more the meryer, i love to go fast, but then sometimes slow, etc, and i have tricks loike rolling from one arms to the other behind the head, and through the legs, jump the stick, basicaly so my routene cant be specific, it can but i aint. i guess i'll have to dind a song first and work from there, so for the fast tempo i can spin fast, and for the slower my slower tricks. sounds like a plan, i am now on a mission of 3 weeks to find a mad song for me to twirl to!

I too have only been twirling for about 5 weeks now and know how u feel about having the time off! But think of the long run ..... 3 weeks now, or maybe injuring your shoulder so bad u can never twirl again! I have seen many people who horse ride take that same risk with back injuries, only to be told they can never ride again due to the amount of pain they are in. . . .

I might add this little point.Tendonitis can develop into much more severe dilibitating conditions - some permanent - if you ignore it.Would you rather lose 3 weeks of twirling, or risk losing the rest of your life twirling?Choice is easy for me...and think about it...you've only been twirling for 5 weeks...in the scheme of things that wont really make a big difference now will it?work on your planning....think about the structure of your moves, imagine your twirling...you will be surprised at how much difference visualisation of your planned moves makes...its very very good. Well worth it if you wont be able to twirl any how)Seeya,------------------[Josh][Sound beams producing arcs of light]

to be sure, to be sure Frenz...just look at the stuff you picked up the other night.In the short time I've known you I've seen you learn several new tricks and your fluidity is ever-improving. You are determined: you set your mind to it and you keep trying until you succeed.You will go far in anything you try in life. Seems to me that determination and persistence are an integral part of your personality.Hooray!

Ouch! I know that tendonitis. I knock my left arm out for three months in a fall. I was lucky enough to have my right arm to play with. I think the visualization bit is a great idea. If you're hankering to do something physical that contributes to your poi, work on you legwork while your arms are healing. I so know that frustration, but believe it or not, I was actually grateful in the end cuz I learned all kinds of new stuff I wouldn't have learned if I'd been able-bodied the whole time. DianaPS: It does end.

How about to keep practice finger twirling, twirling a pencil in a simiar manner between your fingers. Helps them to stay conditioned.I have a web of hairline fractures in my wrist, I have been informed that any impact could shatter it but I look at it this way...I can fall down the stairs as eaily as doing something spinning. As far as follow Dr. order's. Three weeks might set you back from something you love, but you'll pick up again and in the end three weeks is better than permanent forever damage.Anit-inflamatories are great but don't let them sucker you into a feeling of no pain security. They take the swelling and sometimes the pain away but the injury is still there.Heal quickly!------------------Pele Higher, higher burning fire...making music like a choir...

If it makes you feel better - I can't actually twirl a staff (its been ages) due to a case of carpel (sp?) tunnel. My pinky and my fourth finger are asleep and numb all the time!=(Hope you get better soon.
