Hand pain

[ronald pantelas]

Last night while cleaning a restaurant, my right hand (trigger hand) started hurting. Was very painful and got worse as the night went on. Anybody else experience this? A pain at the first finger, top of the knuckle going back to the wrist. I must of damaged something. Not sure , never had wanding hand pain before. Thanks

I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on t.v. but it sounds like tendinitus to me. I wonder if switching to a gun style trigger valve would help?

Try switching which hand you use when wanding. Also get a feather touch valve.

If pain continues, you should check with a doctor. You don't want to get to a point where some major correction to your fingers or wrist is required.

Try switching up wand tube/grip sizes.

Maybe a spray gun handle as well.

Try not to be just a danny-assed pussy.

Unless you're over 50. Then you can whine all you want.

First check with a good chiropractor could be just a pinched nerve would be surprised how many people think they have carpal tunnel syndrone when its just a nerve.

If it persists try a 1.5" wand green glided wand with feather touch valve, I did and it helped my aching hand.(Back, shoulder,hands all hurt at different times, usually)

1.5" wand = HACK!! :shock:

Thanks for the suggestions, I will be trying them out shortly. I really appreciate the posts. And Marty, Yes I have been told I am acting like a pussy before. One day I went running with my cousins. After a short while I stopped running, they said whats up? Why did you stop? I told them my knees hurt so I stopped running. They said Ron your acting like a _____. Suck it up. Ron

Ditto what Chad said. I had similar pain front and back when I went to a 2" wand. Chiropractor said the doctor would probably diagnose as carpel tunnel and recommend an operation. He showed me some stretches and it came right. Never had a problem since as I stretch it out every day. Just hold the arm out and bend the fingers backwards with your other hand to open it up. Seems to work for me.

My finger use to lock up it's called trigger finger but it just went away. Now i use the feather trigger to make sure it dose not come back.
