Hi Doc!
While on long ride I have a spot on my right hand on the index finger joint that feels like I have a rock inside my glove. It has a sharp pain if you grab something just right. any idea what this is an what I might try to get rid of this pain. [also I checked for rocks in my glove]THANKS.

mdboden:

It is not rocks on your gloves (or in your head for that matter) that is causing the pain. I suspect you may have a local inflamation to the tendon or the nerve in the index finger from the repetitive vibrations coming through the handlebar or from blunt truama that might have been received from a blow to the finger from one of your rides. Have your doctor check your hand out and possibly get a referral to an orthopedic doctor. You may benefit from some local physical therapy and possibly spinting to the involved finger for a period of time.

Thanks,
