A member asked:
I had a fourth metacarpal fracture and ive had my splint removed for two weeks already for a total of seven weeks can i play the guitar or do i have to wait more?

You did not say how you got the fracture, however I would say the body would create pain when you do something that is not supposed to be done with it. If you exercise your finger regularly including playing guitar without pain then we know you could play your guitar. I would suggest caution and using the finger tool (slide) to reduce injury.
