Make sure you are not gripping your paddle too tight. I totally relax the "pushing hand" and often change the position of my thumb. cya -----Original Message----- From: owner-paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net [mailto:owner-paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net] On Behalf Of E.

Yesterday while paddling, with never a prior hint, I got pains along my right radius 1 - 2 inches from the wrist. This morning there is visible swelling in that area. I assume my feathered paddle is a contributor to this? Somebody recently posted a wrist brace suggestion. Is it an over-the-counter model, or prescribed? I think the same postor also recommended a change of technique which I can't find. I was young and robust back then and deleted it. Could you please send it to me? aside: a recent post about drysuit testing talked about watches under stuff. I use a buck-fifty velcro bike pump strap which is long enough to go over my glacier gloves. Stylish too. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ *************************************************************************** *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue May 04 1999 - 07:26:07 PDT
