Been there done that ... diagnosed ... medical professional to boot.

reynauds? Am I going to die? Never even heard of it, probably had it all along.

cut into 8 foot lengths, about 10 inches across and carry em out to the truck that way, do that for 8 hrs a day, i thought it was a bit silly to. dry pine so they aren't that heavy but takes it's toll after a while.

Reminds me of an old joke.

Guy goes to the doctor and says "Doc, it's my hand. It hurts like crazy when I do this" The guy twists his wrist around 180degrees and darn near passes out.

The doc looks him stright in the eye and says "Stop doing that."

Repetitive use..ouch!!

Stay safe!

Similar to carpel tunnel can cause numbness of hands and sore wrists

Oz, do a search of "Reynard's Syndrome." My first chain saw was a Homelite and they talked about this in the owner's manual.

I believe surgery in the wrist area also makes more room for the arteries too along with the nerves ,taking away some constriction, giving better blood flow and better nerve function to the hands.

:hmm3grin2orange: Good one Rope! I think that is how alot of people feel like doing when they see the surgeon's bill.
We still have free Medicare in Canada so I guess I can talk highly of surgery.Heck years back I remember some guys at our logging company received big cash settlements for white finger and hearing loss.

"vibrating white finger"

Sounds like something your old lady might not be opposed to.

the older I get the colder my extremities get! Stretch and rub your hands together. Take a break if they get numb. I have to do it when it's cold and wet.

I am just the opposite the older the less I notice the cold as I am more worried over making the mortgage and other payments to even notice cold. I have one problem finger that I shut accidentally in a car door it basically cut it off accept the fingernail saved it I never went to the doc and it finally healed. It used to burn like coal several years after the incident but now my calus is so thick I hardly notice it unless hunting in brutal temps, as long as I am moving I don't hardly notice cold. I do notice aches much more as I age bones are getting old and stiffer and ache much worse than ever.

I have severe tendonitis in my left arm, and 60-85% use of my left hand. The tendons rub agains the nerves and cause them to become inflamed, and my left hand goes numb on me. I first noticed it when I started dropping milk cartons if I picked them up with my left hand. Went in for PT for it for 6 months back when I had low deductible health insurance. I wear an arm brace and it helps, and I do stretches and that also helps. But it seems to never go away completely any more.

Ouch! Though, yah know, that reminds me of an accident that I had when I was a kid that may be the casue of my left arm problems. I was crawling along the pipes under the commercial warf in Monterey (kids do that kind of crazy stuff) and I fell onto the rocks below. I gashed and sliced up the underside of my left forearm on the barnicles but good. I used to have long scars there that have finally dissappeared some 40 years later. Nothing quite like salt water on an open wound!

Mine was on glass at least it was a clean cut but your bone looks funny and to top that off I had to drive a stick shift to the hospital and lost a lot of blood went into shock on the gourney!

No, they advised against it in my case for some reason. It is not bad as long as I wear the brace, and do the stretches, and avoid driving with only my left arm, as I tend to do.

I noticed my fingers were colder than normal last winter, I had a heart attack in March. Dont know how old you are or if you smoke or if you excersize any other than work but I do know heart attacks aint fun. I'd go to a (Heart Doc) not a general doc. Good luck, hope it's nothing but your an old fart and you get older. just re-read and I guess you smoke, I used to also but quit believe it or not because I couldnt stand them anymore. My climber smoked some cheap brand that I couldnt be in my shop (60x40) with while he was smoking.. I am 45 btw.
