Numb Throttle Hand-- No More!!!

[desmo118]

Finally decided to go under the knife and get the carpal tunnel release surgery done. I was very skeptical but, after 5 years of chiropractors, accupuncture, splints and any other "sure fix" it was time to try something different. I've sync'd the TB's multiple times and removed the throttle return spring but nothing helped. Ten minutes after starting a ride my right hand would be completely numb. It was either quit motorcycling or get the surgery. I couldn't be more pleased. Went for my first ride in two months. I didn't have any numbness in my hand at all. I'm not saying this is for everyone but, there may be more to your numb throttle hand than your motorcycle.

Desmo, congrats on your successful surgery. Glad it fixed your CTS.

After working through this problem trying all the other mechanical fixes to stop the numb hand thing, I never really got any good results. I finally came to the same conclusion. I have incipient CTS. Mine isn't at the point where it needs surgery yet, thank goodness. But I think most everyone who has that numb sensation out there, especially those on these forums (can you say KEYBOARD) probably have some degree of CTS.

I now wear wrist supports when I ride. That helps a lot. And I'm not on the keyboard as much, and using better ergonomics when I am.

I recently read a report in a medical jurnal ( Hand of the physician ) by a group that did a two year study on this problem. Evidently one fo the doctors had the same problem and wanted to find what caused it. Their conclusion was that the people with the most discomfort, were the same people who played with their noodle the most when they were younger and that many continued this practice all through adulthood. They also concluded that the larger the noodle, the bigger the problem in later life. HONEST-- thats what I read! MIKE

My dad used to allways tell me, "son, if you don't stop that you'll go blind!"

And I always replied, "Dad, I'm over here!"
