yep ja gh causes water retention (some ADH-like mechanisms although this is unclear at this point). As you know, the main nerves (particularly median) run through a tunnel in your wrist known as the carpal tunnel. With swelling, the nerves are sort of entrapped, leading to numbness, tingling, and partial paralysis in the hand, particularly with regard to wrist closure (flexion). You can wear a brace at 35 degree angle (which releases entrapment) in mild cases, but you are too far gone for this. You must stop, and restart at lower doses when relieved. You can speed the process up by taking a potassium-sparing diuretic, like aldactone, for a few days, but I think this complicates a simple issue, nonetheless, people do it, and you can too, but I don't advise. I would question too what you are getting for your time, money and sides . . . but we've had a good discussion on this already. p.s. all this water retention doesn't sound right for your "contest" . . . Why not heavy primo and masteron, moderate t3 and light aldactone to show up the bulk . . . , but anyway, hope this helps.
