ashby-trials Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Dont ride for atleast 4-5 days cause i get these every now and then as you must let it heal. youve probably just pulled a muscle or something but let it heal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 When you say blisters, do you mean just before you fingers.If so, they are called callus'. Don't rest them, it's your body making the skin harder, so resting makes them normal again.Dunno about the arms though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Start taking a cod liver oil capsule, 1 a day.Will lubricate you joint an make them not hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatprodude Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 bit of wd-40 will do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan-Gadd Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 bit of wd-40 will do the job Haha . I often get back aches after i have been riding for a while, i usually put deep heat on it but it seems the best way to get rid of it is to not ride for a while . I would take ashby-trials advice and not ride for a while, also give the cod liver oils a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleee Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 emm, If it was me, and it's that bad, I'd be going to the doctor. An older friend who's been riding for years is going in for an operation on his elbow sono as he's no cartlidge left.....Nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsey Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 i dont... i get a bad back or maybe stiff fingers.. from riding that is.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lardo_69 Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Yeah, i get the pain in my thumbs, but i have only recently got back in to riding so its not effected me yet.I think my problem was that i used to grip the bars to hard. just try to relax. You fingers often move around pulling on the brake lever and such. Your thumb on the other just stays in a locked position all the time. So yeah the only advice i can give is just to relax your thumbs^^. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty boi Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Do some stretches before riding that should get the old bones and muscles pumping Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsey Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 yea i guess but i can never be bothered... i play alot of rugby so i have to do stretches every night to straighten my back out.. because of a serious injury, so i guess i will start doing some real stretches now.. also grips! grips are very important, to get the right set.. if you get hand or finger aches, or sometimes even elbow pains, check your totally compfortable with your grips! depending on the way you hold them and the size of your hands, different grips WILL help out. the amount of different grips i have had on bikes have made me realize.. i now MUST have real thin grips, as it suits me best hope that helps some people out.. try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbra Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 its like a jelly fish sting, piss on your elbows. Trust me it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Go to a physiotherapist, even if it's only for one session, and ask if you can bring your bike in....I strained my wrist recently, badly enough that I couldn't/can't ride at all. I brought my bike down, and showed him how I stood on the bike, my hand position, etc. and did some basic stuff to show him where it hurt and when. He set me up with some specific excercises to help it heal and hopefully strengthen it to prevent the injury from happening again, which is what I'm most concerned about....

Willsey Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 yes i go to an austiopath as well for my back they are amazing with their hands.. you may have authoritis in you elbow slightly.. if so you can get it checked at the doctors and they inject you, with something i'm not sure about and it works a charm! my dad had it done on his shoulder.
