I was reading Kar Ma's lastest thread in this board, and it reminded me of something that's been happening to me lately, so I thought I'd ask and see what you guys think...
Okay, now I've been playing with puppets for six years, I've been an actual (amateur) puppeteer for half that period, after all these years, puppetry would seem to be a breeze for me, but something's been happening to me lately: whenever I'm performing a puppet, after about a few minutes or so, the hand I use to work the puppet's mouth will suddenly start to stiffen and becomes very numb and I have to reposition it for a minute or two to get relief (like if I have the puppet's mouth closed and this happens I have to open my hand to get relief and vice versa).
Does anybody know what this is and/or why this is happening, and how can I treat it?
