Thanks Big Bear. I'll give it a complet rest for a couple of weeks (including the computer) then start the stretching.

Thanks everyone. I'll try the arm stretching exersizes first. I may have irritated it with bar chords, then made it worse typing on the computer. I'll give both a rest and see if that helps.
Thanks again for your help.

<t>I am right handed and started to learn bar chords about 5 months ago. About 2 months ago, my left arm started to hurt (bad) from the wrist up to my neck. I stopped playing but the pain seemst be getting worse. I've tried the over the counter arm and wrist splints, and have taken ibuprophen for 60...

Yes, I also suffer from thin nails that break easy. Anyone have any suggestions on how to keep them from breaking?
