Take it easy! As with playing anything, if at any time you experience pain in the hand or arm, STOP PLAYING IMMEDIATELY, rest awhile, and gently stretch out before resuming practice. Continuing to play with pain may cause damage to the tendons or muscles. (See the video "Hand Stretches for Musicians" by Dr. Morton    • 10 Hand Stretches for Musicians  .)
