Hands Tingle !!

The masseuse told me that a muscle is attached on about the middle of the blade and if that attachment get an inflammation or strain, the fingers will tingle. Tiger balm or horse liniment, and/or a competent masseuse/eur can help, it helped me. The horse liniment is super on the arms as well to reduce arm pump.

I hope not too down. The ending would not be too happy!

Tiger Balm, I used it a lot after my arm fracture (see my avatar) to relieve the pain in my median nerve (the bastige shrunk a lot and hurt like a b....) and I eventually became allergic to it after a month.

Frog,
The horse liniment that I use is alcohol based and you do indeed have to be careful. I know of a guy, a friend of mine BTW, who got out of control and it run down his back. Once down, capillary forces took the horse liniment to places where he definitely did not want it. This is the kind of stuff that after 20 minutes burns like fire on normal skin. Where it ended up (which is what it did) it was probably a lot worse. He suffered for hours and hours and could not do anything about it as he could not reach it where the capillary forces had taken it. The ending was extremely unhappy. :lol:

You can get immune to the campher in these balms and liniments if over used, and then it does not work as effectively any longerso it may be a good idea to use it only when needed. If very much overused it can even thin the blood.
Niflumic acid balm (Flunir), never heard of it, must check if it possible to get some here. Very interesting.

Also may have to do with circulation I think as well how your sitting etc...

Wife, I think the same. Regards

Niflumic acid is an anti-inflammatory that is very efficient and which I could never find in the States.

I asked a PE about it and she worked on some sort of pseudo-Olympic games somewhere and treated athletes from different countries and she was amazed at all the different products that exist around the world. Some European athletes were using it and had brought it in the baggage.

Horse Liniment huh? I would never ever use any horse medicine on an animal which has about 20 times the amount of muscle as an average human, but that's just common sense, sorry.

You know, that thing we leave at home when we go dirt riding.

I read a article a few years ago about are pump. It stated that tight cuffs on your jersey/jacket not to mention gloves are not the thing to have. I will not wear a watch while riding for this same reason. You can also look up and perform some excercises for Carpal-tunnel that I personally found hepled. Mabey griping with your legs to give your wrists a break would also help..

Acide Niflumic, I've bee looking for it and can tell a few things about it. Not that I'm totally sure that I'm right. It is one of many Non-Steroid Anti Inflammatory Drugs. NSAID for short. As froggys friend said, there are an amazing lot of these drugs. Banned for use on children in Europe, with some exeptions, France is one, because of serious injury caused in them. Most horses eaten in France are said to be imported from the americas and other more obscure places where substances banned in animals for food production in Europe are allowed or still used, so they may get the stuff anyway, with the "pommes frites"?, I don't know. Another example of NSAID is vioxx, banned or being banned in the USA and there are bans going on right now in the UK on some other NSAID. Aspirin, Diclofenac and Ketoprofen are NSAIDs too and may be more proven and known to more people in the USA as well as in many other places? I'd try these first if I had to use NSAID, before using Acide Niflumic, not that there are any doubts about the effectiveness of the Acide Niflumic. Whatever you decide, be very very careful with this stuff! Maybe is it safer to go to the masseuse after all...
