[TPIN] Air pressure injury?

[Steve Evans]

I'm not an expert but this sounds like a muscle weakness, possibly injured and not
healing.

Do you spend much time with a practice mute?

I once played every night for an hour or so on a practice mute. That in itself is OK as
long as you don't push the air too hard and don't try to play loud high notes. I
strained the muscle in my neck, according to my Dr. A couple weeks of soft playing and
no practice mute allowed the muscle to heal. I haven't had a problem since.
