Thank you all, for the great suggestions! Yes, I have had an EMG before (on my legs/lower spine)...it wasn't bad at all (like others said, must be my high pain threshold). The idea that this could be stemming from a neck problem has also occurred to me, so I will definitely explore that avenue. To answer some questions that were asked by a few...yes, I am riding on drop-style handlebars, my positioning on my bike is quite upright. I'd like to continue riding on drop-style bars, if at all possible. I just purchased a VERY expensive custom Ti road bike, and changing the bars would completely alter the look of the bike which is something I really don't want to do. I do spin classes as well, and my hands are not an issue during those classes (and I set-up my handlebars to be even with my saddle in spin class, so the bars are fairly low). I do, however, feel like sometimes my hands will bother me during weight lifting...feels like my grip is affected...like I can't squeeze my hands sufficiently around the bars/dumbells/attachments. And I have tried every combination of gloves out there...lots of padding, a little padding, no padding, gloveless...you name it!

I'm just hoping that there is some doctor out there that can help me. I will start with my regular family doc, and see what he thinks.
