I went for a 50 mile road ride Saturday and about 3/4 of the way through my left hand lost a lot of it's strength. It was a really rough/bumpy road for most of the ride so I'm thinking the excess vibration and stress may have pinched a nerve. It was bad enough I had to reach over and use my wrist in order to shift up because I couldn't get enough pressure using my fingers and braking was interesting to say the least! When I got home my ring and pinkie fingers wouldn't straighten on their own for the rest of the day and my whole hand was almost useless (creepy).

I'm usually pretty careful about not keeping too tight of a grip but sometimes have minor numbness in my right hand if I don't shake it out enough. I've never experienced anything like this. Anyone had something similar? It's been getting more feeling and strength back in the last two days, but I don't know if this is something I should see a doc about or just let it heal. My hand is about 75% maybe of it's usual strength right now.

Thoughts?
