Re: Taking it on the chin......... literally!
Sounds like it may be Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? I would definetly recommend seeing your Doctor about this as:
A) Its very treatable - your hand "grip" nerves run through a hole in your wrist bones, with overuse they swell up and cut themselves off ( a small operation commonly used by Motocrossers & other off-road riders will cure this outright & is available on the NHS :) )
B) The thought of you coming up to a busy roundabout at speed and finding out you yet again have a zombie hand will Not Be Pretty... :( :o
C) If you do a LOT of Gym-work then PLEASE take the car...
Glad you're ok but this needs to be sorted ;)
Re: Taking it on the chin......... literally!
Hmmm, bit of a pattern developing here - maybe we should have a whip-round to get you one of those inflatable sumo-suits.... ::) ::) ::) ;)
You've got the right attitude though, get back on and keep riding, good for you! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
