On one of the afan desents I belted my bars on a rock, along with my little finger, hand cramped up, lost about 50% of my grip and it felt like my wrist "compressed", pins n needles for a couple of days, how i didn't come off is a mystery to me! Anyway just got back from a ride and again the pins n needles are back and my grip is weak again. WTF?
Scaphoid?
perhaps an Xray could offer the best advice, though the best tyres for that are certainly 2.5 high rollers.
Scaphoid's on the other side isn't it? (i.e below the thumb)
I'd get it checked out if I were you, just to be on the safe side
broken bone? tore ligament? carpol tunnel? perhaps just a sore hand? I hurt my wrist ages ago - I dotn even know how just know it was ages ago coz its been sore for well ...ages! but i am kinda scared to go to docs as it kinda seems like arthitis?!!!! no good, hope you okay.
aye scaphoid is below the thumb above the wrist (where the freckle is on my hand!) Only reason i suggest it is because I had similar symptoms when i broke mine. The blood vessel takes a weird route through and round the scaphoid, so numbness and tingling could be a sign of interrupted circulation?
I can confirm 2.5 high rollers were involved during "the incident" should I have them x-rayed too? Not sure if I wanna take it to the GP, I'll just take a dose of MTFU and hope it doesn't fall off 🙂
