Pics of Larry's taped up/bandaged arm

[skott100]

Strange case of life immitating art immitating life...

I've recently developed some health issues with my arm and wrist and I think it's drumming related. As a drummer in a U2 tribute band, the irony has not escaped me. Even funnier, my chiropractor is taping up my arm before shows and it seems to be helping along with the other treatment and therapy. I seem to recall seeing Larry's arm all taped up from time to time and I'm curious to compare his to mine.

Can the PLEBANS come through for Barely Larry? I think they can...

I sometimes have to wear a wrist brace similar to this one. When I first started wearing it, I thought of Larry

Oh, wait... is that Bono in the background, reading the slip of paper from his Chinese fortune cookie?

OK I am a hand therapist and can tell you what is going on with Larry's arm from the pictures. He has lateral epicondylitis (tesnnis elbow) and probably ECU tendonitis (a wrist tendon) common problem in drummers. The wrist splint is for resting, the bands are counterforce straps and the taping is called Kinesiotaping and works wonders for these problems. I saw him wearing the tape at a Vertigo show and got a kick out of it. I oftne think- I could be his own personal threapist, travel around with him, message those nice arms...he he
Anyway, I hope the info helps, skott100

Everytime I see pics of Larry's taped up arm, I can't help but think : Ouch!
Hope it doesn't hurt too much.

Sorry to hear you're having similar issues, Skott.

Is it always the same arm???..I think the pics get turned around and it seems like one arm then the other

 

[U2C]

hopefully he can still play on the next tour

In most of the pics it's just his right arm, but there are a few where you can see tape on his left arm too. In the Elevation tour photos, the bands are on his left arm.

 

[thankyou]

how painful is this? and how bad is it that he continues drumming with such a condition?

I also wonder if it hurts, ripping the tape off.

I thought about that too. I suppose it helps that he's not super hairy like Bono.

I'm not surprised this happens after 30 years of drumming.

Poor Larry, though.
