[Trombone-l] Arm Pain

[Jerry Blomberg]

Listers,

I have started to be bothered by pain in my elbow-area, forearm muscle to
the point that when I hold my horn up for the length of time it takes to
play a piece, I can hardly straighten my arm out afterwards.  I am 68 and I
realize that my muscle tone isn't what it used to be.  Does this seem like
an elbow-joint or muscle problem?  Has anyone experienced this?  I sold my
double valve bass and am now playing a single valve model because of the
weight factor.  Thanks for your thoughts.
