X-H2O Disease; "Handlebar Palsy"

[Midlake Crisis]

It all started with elbow pain on my right elbow, now I am waking up with numb pinkies / ring fingers on both hands.
Apparently it is a repetitive use injury / condition similar to carpal tunnel and is common in cyclists.
Too much bunny hopping the SJ and too much mouse clicking the X are apparently a really bad combination:

It is from the impacts of jumping and landing. Go to a chiropractor and get your shoulders and neck adjusted. Make sure you get enough Omega 3 as well, your body uses 6 and 9 to inflame an injury and 3 to reduce the inflammation after it is settled. Most people are toxic in 6 and 9 and therefore inflame very easily. But lack the 3 to bring it back down, making recovery take way longer.

We don't heal as well as we did when we were younger because we are not as healthy. Period!

I get the shooting pain in my elbows and knees from landing in big surf .The 1 inch hydro turf underpadding makes a huge difference .

Add to that the extra weight of a helmet...Its a lot of stress on our bodies. I'm not stopping anytime soon though.

my hands/fingers always go numb from riding my bike or MX.... Never have that problem on the ski though... I think the handpole reduces a lot of stress on the shoulders compared to fixed steering systems..

On that point I will agree,it is especially stressful on the arms and shoulders remounting a fixed steering ski,it really doesn't matter if to side mount it or not the stresses are the same,I especially noticed this on the flat deck ski as there are no gunwales to rest your elbows on.:scratchchin:

They make a rubber dampened riser for snomobiles that does a good job of removing the vibration. Designed for snocross racers but I wonder if it could be adapted over to a ski? A sitdown for sure anyway.

Accu Steer systems have a spring in the system itself... feels pretty good too

I have seen some setups like that for bikes and atv's,expensive though.

It sounds like an ulnar neuropathy. You can check

for more info. Seeing a chiropractor for neck adjustments and/or taking supplements will get you nowhere. I would rec'd rest and motrin and if it doesn't get better, see a orthopedic surgeon.
