Well it started about a week ago, I was getting numbness in my fingertips on the last reps of my sets. It would go away before the next set so I just blew it off. Well two days ago, I started getting this stabbing pain in my right hand above the thumb muscle. I did some reading to find out there is a meridian nerve there. Well, last night the situation got worse, I woke up at 1:30 am and my thumb and first two fingers numb. As I tried to make a fist I could not even close my hand. After about an hour and taking some ibuprofen I could make a fist but my grip felt weak and there was still this stabbing pain in my hand.
Needless to say I'm not happy about this since I just started my cycle 2 weeks ago. I have never had this problem before. I have been taking Relafen, a prescription anti-inflammatory, all day and I have kept it wrapped lightly but with enough pressure to keep my wrist straight. It is now about 24 hours since the worst of it and it does feel somewhat better now.
Has anyone else experienced this and if so, what did you do about it and how long before it was fully healed? I don't really want to make it worse so I'm staying out of the gym a few days.
