I am having the EXACT same problem as you not that it will make you feel any better. I literally could not shift with my right hand by the end of my ride last night. If I go out tonight I will be able to shift but I will have to use my index and middle finger and really have to concentrate on it to make it happen. It is so frustrating. Of course I am riding with my husband that thinks I am being a typical 'soft' woman. If he cannot see blood or bone coming out of me then I really don't have a problem. (I think he grew up with a hypocondriac sister...hence the lack of compassion!!!) Of course, I don't have ANY problem with my left hand. I am right handed so it is killing me!!!!!!!!! I feel the same way about DR's but I may have to go soon anyhow.
