Oh man, my arm hurts. I thought I'd slept on it wrong a couple weeks
ago, but that usually clears up in a day . The problem I'm having is
pain from the outside of the elbow on my right arm and it travels up
to my middle fingers. I know of a few people who have experienced this
and say there is a bad that one can wear around the fore-arm that can
help to get rid of the pain and possible put all back in order, but I
haven't explored the idea yet. It's starting to become difficult to
grip hand tools.

Anybody had any experience with this?

Go see your doctor. Today or tomorrow. Don't wait. Really.

Naw, I'd stick with rec.boats for medical advice. Add that to political and
financial guidance and we're getting pretty well rounded.

Not to mention how to make tires as unsafe as possible.

Sounds like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I've had it. Of course, Harry
thinks it's some horrible wicked death sentence!

It's probably some sort of repetetive stress injury similar to Carpal
Tunnel. Any idea what might have caused/provoked it? If so, give
it a rest for awhile. You can buy wrist braces that look something
like a bowling glove that will prevent sleeping with your wrist
crooked. Something like Advil will also help.

I have a similar problem on occasion but I know what's wrong.
In 1979 I was thrown through the windshield of my brother-in-laws ambulance
in a highway crash.
I must have hit my arm on the windshield frame on the way out...or when I
landed in the ditch...just a couple of feet in front of the vehicle.
I had a badly broken arm with nerve damage. Reminds me of a bit when you
hit your funny bone.
I sometimes take an extra-strength Tylenol.
As far as strength...I dilgently went to rehab for months on end and
actually ended up able to handle heavier weights than before the accident.
(I have a trophy to prove it)..

That explains a lot!

Man, it sure does! All this time I thought he was just dumb.

hey, the effects of the elbow and wrist brace are helping. I can feel
a welcomed difference. My arms still hurts, but doesn't hurt "like
heck" for the most part. I'm also re-learning how to hold and strike
with a hammer and different ways to use air tools. I think this will
eventually work it's way out, but I'm still going to keep the
apointment with the specialist, 'cause this ain't no fun!
