I was riding pretty much non-stop all season and had similar. After about 5 weeks I had difficulty bending my middle and little fingers on my left hand in the mornings, almost felt like they had broken joints.  I had to stretch them every day before I could hold a handlebar.  My GP said it's tendon damage that just needs rest.  It's still playing up a little after 5 days after my season end!

I get it alot when riding in France (I went to Morzine late August, so it was braking bump HEAVEN) and had it in Whistler, braking bumps are the ultimate in setting it off, I found that wrapping tape round your fingers really helps, I think it's something to do with the shaking and banging against the levers, which can be sort of absorbed by some tape, especially Zinc Oxide tape, that seems the best to stop it, micropore is a bit thin.

The pain is absolutely excruciating when you're just bumping over hellish braking bumps, trying like hell not to pull the brakes since it only hurts more! When you get to the bottom of the run, your hands feel like they are WELDED to the bars and is amazingly painful to get them back straight.

In France and when i came back mine were killing me.

Even when i was back they were hurting just lifting heavy boxes and stuff like that when i was helping someone move house.

Also i found a bony lump at the lowest joint of my right middle finger so went to the doctors and found its a calis(sp?) which is just a bony lump from riding. Feels weird!

Also i asked about hand pump and she just said there is no way to stop it because when you are riding your wrists are slighty bent reducing circulation to the hands. Only thing to do is stop and exercise them. Think that has probably been said but jsut thought i would add it again.

I had my hands checked by my GP today as they still are causing trouble with nearly a weeks rest!  I was told it's over worked tendons which need rest.  Nothing you can do to solve it except ride less!

Mine still aren't right and i haven't ridden any proper dh since mid August! They still hurt to poke, and hurt properly after a bit of holding bars tight. I can take ibuprofen etc but i'm still not sure how to properly prevent it  Sad

I have got this too, had it since getting back from the Alps mid july. The pain has gone a little as now they don't hurt in everyday tasks however whenever riding they are still extremely painful. Maybe i will have to take a trip to the doctors too!

I get this especially after a long weekend / week on the bike, as this dude mentions I have a mate who is in the building trade and he does not suffer with any kind of hand / arm trouble due to him lifting blocks, bricks etc all day.
Even so I am still faster than him so thats my excuse when I am complaining about my Girlie hands (Lol)

I know exactly how you feel.
I spoke too a guy in a lift and he has the same problem, the guys he rides with are carpenters and they don't get affected.
I think it's just weak fingers, felt better after a days rest and it didn't ache so quickly the next time.
