Dan6061 Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 You mean at the bottom of your fingers?Not a lot you can do really, it sucks.Soon they'll harden up, and look horrible. Then it wont hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Thanks but its the second joint that has began to hurt not my blistersryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 i had that, it just stopped hurting after a week or so. is it incredibly painful for about 4-5 mins then not hurt, start riding again and it would do it again? mine did, i just started clicking them and carried on riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reece B Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I had this yesterday while riding. every time i tried to ride or pull my brake my finger would kill, so i had to stop riding for the rest of the day and my finger is still hurting now and its swollen up by the joint. dunno what it is....

Orgun_Donor Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 maybe due to levers being to tight/looseI get the same sort of thing when riding peoples bike that have really loose brakes, and the lever comes in to the bars, but i generally bite my teeth and get back on mine and they are fine.

Ali C Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 my braking finger randomly did that, it hurt like hell and was a nightmare...fortunatly it went away within two or three weeks and its never happened again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 If you're describing what I think, then it's a kind of repetitive strain tendonitis thing. I have it in my finger from climbing and riding and it won't go away, even after several months. But I'm old, haha. The bad news is that there's no real treatment, only rest. But the good news is that it doesn't really affect your riding/climbing - once you get over the pain it doesn't stop you doing anything.

Ryan. Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 grrr its so annoying having to stop riding though lol!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I have the same problem with my little finger on my left hand. It makes gripping the bars a right pain in the arse, or finger in this case....um yes, sorry about that Its fine at the moment, probably because i havent had a ride in a few days, but as soon as a i start riding again it starts playing up!So annoying!

Jez Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Mine lasted about a couple months and went away about the time I fiddled with my bar & lever angles...whether that's related or not I dunno. Coulda just been coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
