Felicia, it's very odd, my right arm is absolutely fine, but I definitely have a problem with my left - it always starts right after I play. Luckily, there are some great physical therapy specialists here, and they have given me some exercises to strengthen my left hand and fingers. It's just going to take FOREVER...but I hope that I will get to take lessons with Tobie someday (and hopefully at some point I will also be able to restart lessons with my regular teachers here in Germany, both of whom are really great). :) Thanks for your kind words!
