Just recently I've started to suffer from pretty intense pain in my little finger of my left hand towards the end of rides, it can last for a couple of days. It seems to be around the joints of the finger and remains just as a "tenderness" to the touch.
I don't remember picking up any knocks or injuries, so do you think it could be set-up or something.
I've not changed anything recently, I did start with some new gloves which didn't have the ulnar nerve padding, but I swapped back to the old BG gloves a while ago and it doesn't seem to have alleviated things.
Anyone got any ideas what it could be?
Cheers.
Do you wear a ring on the finger? I was getting unbearable throbbing in my finger joints after rough downhills and started taking off my rings (I only have two, I'm not that Eastend gangsta/chavvie). Straight away, the pain went. Long shot, but just thought I'd mention it...
No, no rings, but it is worst after rough DH rides.
try ergon grips or a fatter grip, could be palm pressure..
Do you brake with two fingers??
Is so you're gripping with the two smaller fingers, this could be a factor....if you've been doing this for a while you may of caused a slight condition....
I'd second that, ergon grips have made a big difference for me - used to get a lot of pain for days around the base of my fingers - dont now though. Strange its just in your little finger though.
