    Okay, you caught me! Yes, I can & even bought a pair of handle things to assist with this - was just trying to illustrate the flat palm holding up bodyweight pain issue. However, those funky twisty pushup assist objects being infomercialed now are tempting! Ha!

    Are you putting your whole upper body weight on your hand? I've noticed some people grab the handle bars really tight. Almost white knuckely...

    Besides, getting your hand checked out by a doctor, you might also consider doing Pilates, or other core exercises so that you are not putting all your body weight on your hand.

    Another thing to check is make sure your bike is fitted to you.
