Cycle Home

Over the last couple of days I've noticed my ring finger on my right hand be a little numb. Because I do a lot of working at computers, I've been concerned about Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). However, I'm usually pretty careful about my wrists when I type and the last week I've actually been using computers less than usual.

After doing some research I've come to the conclusion that it is actually "Handlebar Palsy", which is similar to CTS, but caused by compression of the "Ulnar nerve" in the hand, rather than the median nerve in the wrist as CTS.

I think I will be taking a few days off from cycling and then being a little more careful with how I hold the handlebars. I'm thinking I'll get those handlebar extensions as well.

Hopefully that solves everything.
