  3. Carpal Tunnel and riding?

    in Dumpster

    Posted

    Timin8Tr I really don't want to do surgery but I will likely end up having to do so as my INS will suck after Sept 1. It will cover very few chiropractic visits.

    Pauly, I am greatly disappointed in the result of ACA. It will cost me +150 a paycheck just to keep my insurance. Sadly we are told our insurance is on the top 22%ile in cost and benefits. Which is fine except I work at a school which doesn't pay the greatest. I feel extra bad for my staff. I make a bit more then them. I ended up forgoing the raise I was given so that it could be given to some of our other teachers.

    It's just crazy.

    Thanks Tonik!

    I really wanted to wait until after September, but our company is changing it's insurance due to the "Affordable Care Act".

    If it get it done now it will cost me a total of $110.00. If I get it done after September 1, it will cost me $2500.00.

    After reading those threads it makes me optimistic about my future riding.

    So, I just got the news I have "severe carpal tunnel" and that will require surgery. I've always had some issues with my hand and strength/numbing issues, but this is dumb.

    When I was down at The Gap I had a moment that I hit the white line and the bars sort of jammed up my wrist. It hurt then and the next day I had some tingling in my hand. It stayed the next few days but didn't really bother me. I then ended up riding back, due to unforeseen circumstances, and by the end of that ride my thumb and hand was in pain. That pain hasn't left and has just contined to get worse.

    My reason of posting is twofold:

    1: I'm pretty sure my riding season is over, as I will be having surgery soon, which sucks.

    2: I wanted to know if anyone has had the surgery and if/how it did(n't) effect them riding.

    This blows, but I'm hoping to hear some first hand accounts of it resolving the issue and not ruining riding.

    Was that the bike being loaded up on a trailer (swapped with FZ6) at Crossroads Sunday AM? Didn't look like much damage to bike, right sidecase mostly. Hope he heals fast.

    Yes. The bike was in surprisingly good shape. Minimal front fairing damage was all that we saw.

    Want to give props to Granda & Dime, our boy Jeff crashed out about 5 miles from Fontana. Andy gave up his trailer spot to bring Jeff's bike home. He at the hospital getting probed and x rayed, more later.

    No worries Paul. I hope it's nothing to serious. Riding home wasn't bad at all. Just exhausted and happy to be home.

  14. Motorcyclist collides with CHP. Who's fault?

    Downside of lane splitting. Going 60 (guessing) in standstill traffic. When the other bike decided it wanted to join in the splitting fun they probably had zero chance to even see the other bike approaching.

    I would assign technical blame on the CHP bike merging. It is their responsibility to merge safely.

    I would say if it were me I would have been going slower for this same reason.

    When I was in New Zealand in 1999, there was a huge rivalry between rotary and standard motors when it came to all the gear heads, which my cousins and uncles are. They also seem to have plenty of goofy ass vehicles, most of which were pretty cool.
