Well, I talked to my teacher about these physical challenges, and we worked on a couple of the pieces in my lesson. After that I felt better and thought I might be able to manage the fingering after all, with some work.
Since then, I thought I might try for two weeks to use the classical guitar position. Instead of a stool or one of those fancy leg raisers, though, I opted for a pile of pillows, a more comfortable choice, I've found. This position seems more comfortable for my hands, too, although my arm gets tired from being held up higher.
I've been working on thumb position for both hands, too, and have concluded that playing guitar is a very physical activity. Who knew?
