sore thumbs

[exc rider]

i started back riding about a year ago and my thumbs seem to bother me ever since.they dont feel to bad in normal use or even when riding but if i jam them just a little or kinda extend them a bit they get the sprained feeling.it seems to be in the bigger joint at the base of the thumb,thought maybe tendonitis or something.im 32 and work with my hands daily.any info would be appreciated. thanks :thumb:

My hands sometime cramp on long rides, though not quite as localized as your situation but cramp non-the-less. Drink lots of water as that reduces the chance of it happening. A few years ago I started taking vitamins again and I only notice the cramps when I miss taking them.
It may just be in my mind but it works for me.
Good Luck,
Phillip

it doesnt seem to be cramping or arm pump,im fortunate enough not to be hampered by that.also i have the sprained feel all the time,doesnt really bother me when im riding.maybe i'll try the vitamins,im sure i could use them anyway. thanks
