Carpal Tunnel Syndrome due to cycling?

Brain and nerves

Hi,

Since lockdown began, I have gotten into cycling in a big way, roughly doing 150 miles per week, roughly 10 hours in the saddle.

I have been given a professional racing bike by a friend, with a very different style of handlebars than I am used to.

I am very aware of the strain I put on my wrists, left one especially.

I get a very slight tingling in my left wrist & all my fingers in the hours after a cycle, which all subside eventually.

However for the last 4 days, the tip of my middle finger tingles slightly when touched, or when pressure is applied. Just a very small area of the fingertip, and only when pressure is applied. No pain, stiffness or lack of function anywhere.

I have been reading some Cycling forums, & it seems quite common, just wondered if any of you learned folk have similar experience.

Thanks for your time!

Hello Gary
I’ve had CPS in both wrists and the improvement is has been remarkable .
The discomfort before the surgery required me to wear braces to support
my wrists especially at night. Fortunately I had the two surgeries at different
dates.
