I just recently discovered a way around focal dystonia after 33 years of not being able to play banjo at all. FD is a major curse to musicians! now I have 343 years of practice to make up. all the best to you and anyone that has been struck down by this curse!

Would you care to explain this way around?

I got focal Dystonia 4 years ago it's getting better but it's taken years to get better. It's still not 100 percent but I would say it's about 60 percent better.

were you able to ever go back? how has it affected you mentally with music?

I have partially solved my dystonia with a P-DTR practitioner in just one session. Waiting for the pandemic to end so I can complete the treatments. Good luck to you all.

@@TransformsIntoAGuitar this is for you people to read up. It is the most revolutionary approach to pain/dysfunction I have stumbled upon. From what I have understood, the nervous system is constantly receiving information via various types of receptos. P-DTR is focused on identifying the dysfunctionsl receptor and "resetting" it. The problematic movement pattern will stop being problematic. It is unbelievable. I have experienced this.

Other career paths are likely to be easier than music! But maybe you can recover, or maybe you could form a duet with someone that has right hand dystonia and you play one guitar together. Please don't think I'm mocking your terrible problem, though.

@@thomascastrovillo9256 Maybe god is cruel. Maybe there is no god. Dystonia seems to be a mix of adverse genetics and learned patterns. With the right training you may be able to either reduce the symptoms or cure them. Botox will only be a temporary fix. Retraining has been shown to be at least partially successful. Good luck.
