    Re: How to stop joints from aching from playing?

    Well I have worn cheap steel toe boots most of my life
    The steel doesnt give
    And my baby toe on both feet had a permanent crease and it mostly numb

    I recently discovered a square toe version that is far more comfortable but looks like a 1960s American football kickers shoe

      Lower string gauge, shorter scale length might help. Bring the guitar up like Alex Hutching plays his. Try to develop a light touch. Check out a few guitars that have a more comfortable feeling neck.

      Those are what I'd look into if the medical condition was non reversible & worsening over time, increased stress on the area can accelerate the damage further, should sort out a good medical advisor for the subject if the pain continues to get worse.
