Anybody in here ever had Carpal Tunnel? Of those guys anybody had the surgery?
I've been having issues with my hands cramping up from doing normal stuff. Coloring with my son, writing a few sentences on paper, tying shoes. I first noticed last year my hands would get a little tingly when riding for a decent period of time (15+ minutes) and things have progressively gotten worse. About 2 months ago while playing guitar I was noticing that I wasn't able to play for longer than about 45 seconds to a minute without having to shake my hands out.
Rode a deep rough sand track last month, couldn't go more than 1.5 laps without slowing down and shaking out my hands. Thought I was just out of shape from not riding all winter. Went mountain biking the next weekend and more of the same. Rode a smooth clay track over the weekend and no better. Can't ride longer than 3 - 4 minutes without hands cramping. Heart rate was around 140 bpm riding around sitting down and still having the cramps.
I'm super frustrated, trying to schedule a doctors appointment this week. I have gained a significant amount of weight in the last few years and I'm extremely out of shape but this is definitely different.
