I realize your case is a special one as you're experiencing pain to begin with, but I should warn you to take a break whenever the guitar makes you experience more pain than usual. If not you may have to stop playing entirely.

Also, don't worry, anyone who says girls can't play guitar hasn't seen Ani DiFranco, The Great Kat, or that Xue-Fei Huang classical guitarist. Those girls could rip me UP!
