Knuckles swelling

Post by ajohnston » June 25th, 2007, 12:09 am

So the season ended a few weeks ago and I switched to straight up erging. In the last few days the knuckles in my right hand have started to swell up. The knuckles in my left hand also hurt but not as badly. Since I am a starboard I figured that I am pulling unevenly but wanted to see if anyone else had any experience with this. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Soaking your hands in ice water will help to take down the swelling.
