I hear ya , I can't ride bikes anymore cuz the twist throttle makes my hands go numb ! Really sucks going into a corner on a kx500 and your hands just fall off the bars cuz there is no feeling left in them ! went to the doc one day when I had some pain that wouldn't go away and found out I tore part of a tendon in my elbow , so while i was there I asked him about the numbness and I can't hang on to wrenches at work anymore . I also have a very hard time opening simple candy wrappers , chips, and plastic bags . doc sends me in for some electronic tests in my hands and finds out I have full blown carpal tunnel in both hands too ! surgetry was supposed to be last yr , but I figured I will drag it out til I cant ride at all any more then move on and get a jeep / dune rail or something like that . I decided I would not try to be "superman" at work anymore and just take it easy , use better tools and ask for help before I screw myself so bad that I can't ride at all ! It seems to be working , as I can ride my quad for 2 hrs straight before needing a break , where as before I could only go 5-10 min. before it was bad enough to stop and get the feeling back in my hands ! I wouldn't do the surgery for the C.T. tho as I have seen others at work who have come out great, and others who ended up worse then before surgery ! Good Luck !
