Subject: RE: Biker Hands (Ulnar Nerve) Pinky is constantly numb I have the same problem. Have been seeing a chiropractor who does ARTS - seems to help a bit, or at least, slowdown the sorsening progress. But no one can do anything and it's not going to heal if you keep doing the same thing to aggravate your injury. Try not to tense up the shoulder and not to grip on the handle bar too tightly. This is the major culprit for me - I get nervous on the bike. Irrantional, I know, but I have some sort of a phobia when my feet are not supported by somthing solid when I am above ground (some sort of height-phobia). I cannot get over it (either cope with it or not do the activity). But I find changing hand positions frequently helps - at the drop, on the horn, on the top of the bar, aero etc. Actually aero makes it worse for me. But the idea is not to lock yourself in a single position. Stretch, a lot. and massage. Hope this helps. |
