madcarper 0 Posted February 9, 2014 well I had the electric shock tests mind this is the second time iv'e had it and I saw a specialist consultant who pumped up the juice compared to the last time no needle test although needles don't bother me. I also had the test where they take a picture of your hands with a thermal camera then stick your hands in a bucket of ice cold water for 5 min, then take a picture with the thermal camera every minute to see how or if they warm up.I think dave might have just given me something else to see about as for the last couple of weeks I have had pain in my left elbow but I thought I had strained something at work did not know you could get carpel in the elbows.so I know I have white finger very bad but I just put up with it, but I think I have either renauds or carpel also. I will just have to wait for results and see if any treatment is available.I think I will be changing the bars on my zed also as the angle of sweep puts my wrists slightly bent which was making my hands ache last year.thanks for the support boys. apart from you mark plus I rarely have time for a good knuckle shuffle.
