Haven't stopped in for awhile so I thought I would let folks know where I'm at.
You may recall that I had to severely cut back my Trad shooting due to pain in my drawing hand. I didn't mention what I figured was Tendonitis in my drawing arm, as that has been pretty much an every day thing since January.
Both got so bad that I couldn't even shoot a compound with release, so I finally bit the bullet and saw a doctor.
The problem in the hand is a tendon that locks up in one finger. He referred me to an Orthopedic Specialist with an appointment in early August. The doctor anticipates corrective surgery. He is quite concerned with this problem and says it is the more serious of the two issues.
He diagnosed severe Tendonitis in the arm, and I'm doing physical therapy twice weekly on it. It's anticipated that this will heal up in due time.
I'm going to postpone any potential surgery on my hand until after hunting seasons, which means early 2008. If I get the arm healed up I can still hunt with compound this year, and I'll have all winter to get the finger squared away so I can draw my recurves again.
Bottom line, I hope to be back shooting Trad next Spring...
