Cramp in my hands
Im suffering more and more with hand cramp, used to happen for the first 5mins of a ride out, but now seems to last nearly all day. Just wondering does any body else suffer, and is there any tips, medication, etc, any recommendations. I am going to change grips for some soft ones, any one got suggestions.

Are you sure it’s cramp. I had carpal tunnel needed my wrist sliced open to fix it. It got to the stage of not being able to pull the clutch in after 15mins on a bike sharp jabbing pain
Re: Cramp in my hands
Carpal tunnel is tinggling in hand...cramp is a seizure....
The position of hand on bars helps...rotate forward or backwards to find comfy position...hushpuppy grips enlarge grip diameter....
Does stopping and shaking hand bring relief.....im ambidextrious

Re: Cramp in my hands
Thanks for the replies, normally if I stop,even for 20 secs, shake my hands, pump them a bit ,happy days, then 5mins later its come back. Was on the tools today and even had it then. Me thinks a visit to the quacks could be imminent. Cheers russ, looking at hushpuppy grips. 
Re: Cramp in my hands
As a carpal tunnel sufferer I can definitely tell you it is more than a tingle.
The tingle is when your sat at a keyboard not doing a lot. I had extensive carpal surgery on my left wrist as I had sharp stabbing pains when pulling in the clutch

As the bi-dexterous Tramp says make sure your handle bars are set correctly. position should be arms slightly bent at elbows with no pressure on shoulders. you may find that you are actually gripping to tight try to relax the grip straighten your fingers occasionally and when you can drop hands to side get some blood flow and shake out hands.

what you do in the privacy of your own home is up to you

Re: Cramp in my hands
Yep constantly drop my arms as riding, pump the fingers, stretch fingers and thumb, but still there. Does anyone know of any remedies, as I know cranberry juice is good for gout, is there anything for cramp.zimtim wrote: ↑Mon Nov 19, 2018 7:54 pm As the bi-dexterous Tramp says make sure your handle bars are set correctly. position should be arms slightly bent at elbows with no pressure on shoulders. you may find that you are actually gripping to tight try to relax the grip straighten your fingers occasionally and when you can drop hands to side get some blood flow and shake out hands.
