    Update:

    This morning I had an EMG done at the hospital and turns out I do have Carpal tunnel syndrome on both hands. Based on symptoms, my family doctor was unsure whether this was carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetes or an issue related to the bike accident I had back in February when I ended up in the emergency room with broken ribs.

    Will be seeing my doc in about an hour and see what suggestions he has for me to say goodbye to this problem.

    First things I will be doing on my end... get some good cycling gloves that can keep the median nerves relaxed at all times, say goodbye to the magic mouse and get an ergonomic one, look into getting drop bars for my bike or one of those bar ends to add one or 2 more positions for the hands, and of course keep doing all the exercises.

    • Ditch that magic mouse! The ergonomics are like medieval torture. I've been using my logitech M705 for years. Can't work without it.nocomply
    • Also, if your handlebars only had 1 grip position, then yeah, time to fix that. My hands/wrists get tired on regular old flat bars in under an hour.nocomply
