ive been overdoing practice, my strumming hand wasnt ready for the long practice sessions in fingerstyle. I had to go back to a pick, i can just barely bend it enough to hold it.
i gotta give it a rest, but i dont wanna.

Stop playing now! It sounds like tendonitis. I had this happen with my fretting hand and unless you let it heal it gets worse. It's been 7 weeks since I stopped and I'm just now being able to use it again. My whole arm became inflamed with sharp pains and burning sensations. A few weeks off now can save a lot of future pain.

strumming with a pick doesnt hurt to much. Im pretty sure its not tendinitis. Its a localized pain that starts from my base knuckle to my middle knuckle in my right index. Its just a muscle that wasnt used in the way i was using it before, i have a bit of swelling but it will go down.

I learned as a fingerpicker and really ONLY finger pick. Been doing it that way for the past 10 or so years. However now I get really bad arthritis so I dont play so much anymore.
