Anyone have or know someone who has gone through the carpal tunnel surgery to overcome hand numbness (while riding)? Did it work? Recovery time??
I've tried just about everything to overcome this. No arm pump, just numb fingers (all) and hands. It hit me good 3 weeks ago with a whiskey throttle off a mountain trail at race pace. Lucky no serious injuries or bike damage. This past week I had no use of the front brake and little control of the clutch for 3 laps of a 4 lap race. Oddly, sensation mostly comes back late in a 2hr race or completely if I stop and shake it off. Body and arm position help, but don't solve it. Going to get tested for carpal tunnel again and may consider the surgery as I've read it only gets worse if you don't do something about it.
Just wondering if anyone else has had to deal with and/or has overcome this.
