Pain at the base of the thumbs during / after a gig

[goingdownslow]

I am suffering with pain in both my thumbs at the moment.
I have put mine down to the fact that recently I have been lifting some 8x4 sheets of plywood edge on using my fingers and thumb in a vice like grip and have probably strained them.

So - I should be crunching down bars of solid magnesium in my cornflakes?

I actually still have all my own teeth and would rather keep them....

...and I can also suggest looking into the multiple benefits of turmeric.
The combination of these two has kept me in the game longer than I thought I would be.
