Cyclists Palsy

After a trip away two weeks ago (on the road bike – sorry), I’ve been left with very numb / tingly fingers from compression of my ulnar nerves. 35hrs in the saddle was a big week for me!
Anyone got any tips to speed up the recovery time?

It’s driving me nuts!

Doctor, doctor – I have a steering wheel in my underpants.

It’s driving me nuts!

(sorry can’t help with the hands, have a lunch time bump)

Haha!

A good physio, Stooge moto bars and Ergon biocork grips got me over my bout with CP Del :)

googling “cyclist palsy exercises” will lead you to tips and videos that have helped me in the past

Not much. You should have been using the hoods – stops the problems.

“You should have been using the hoods – stops the problems”

How can you say that with no idea what caused it ?

I got cyclists palsy when I rode 250km in the hoods as it was January in Scotland and I was running some barmitts which meant hoods only position.

Varying position helps but if you have a good position on the bike To start with and a strong core that’s not just flopping your upper body onto your hands  it should help prevent or at least minimise it.

I got rid of mine in time to do the puffer this year but it was touch and go. Theres little more than rest you can do. If I could find the thread I’d pull up the thread and it’s suggestions.

A road bike with stooge Moto bars could be funny though
