Jiffer Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 could be white finger, do you use power tools a real lot like grinders etc, and is it worse when the weather is cold. check it out on tinternet
emu Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 just thought some 1 would say it. ye i mite do just done want them to say it white finger i like my job It was only a matter of who replied first By the sounds of that, your hands are your job so if they are playing you up then there is no 'might' about it mate, get them checked professionally. You dont want to go fooking your hands up heres an explanation of white finger.... http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/23069104/ and carpal tunnel syndrome.... http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/23068696/
c1arke Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Posted February 22, 2009 ground worker and a osf er so ranging from a drill to a jackhammer but bin told that you cant pick things up with white finger. i sleep on my arm under the pillow but if i sleep slightly different its ok but when i start morning it is goes a bit funny could it be clestron cause am not that energetic (yes i am in shape don't care watney one said round is a shape)
PlopPlop Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 See your Doc mate, my missus has a simular prob and it turned out to be carpal tunnel if I spelled it right, something to do with her nerves down to her hand.
c1arke Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Posted February 22, 2009 will get an appointment. like my right hand is hurting now cause am using it on the mouse and the desk is putting pressure on my arm
emu Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Carpal Tunnel is caused by the nerves being compressed in the wrist, which would explain why it hurts to use the mouse and to sleep on it.
c1arke Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Posted February 22, 2009 crap would it go up my arm as well? can anything be done about it?
PlopPlop Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 I was told to get her a powerball from maplin to exercise her wrist but see doc first, you sure you not leaning on your mouse awkwardly?
c1arke Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Posted February 22, 2009 lol just went on wikipedia and sums it up almost as apple pie crap
Fishtailparka Posted February 22, 2009 Report Posted February 22, 2009 Had all those symptoms and at times so bad I couldn't use a spanner. Had to give up fly fishing too. All down to RSI and or tennis elbow from my job. I just took it a bit easier and it eventually went away. Pretty much as if it never happened now. I never did go to the doctors, but as I am self employed it wouldn't have made any difference if i had.
accord83 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Posted February 23, 2009 I got that in my left hand after I was rammed by a stolen Honda. I was treated for whiplash, 12 months later things got a lot worse, a scan showed I had two ruptured discs in my neck. See a Doctor.
