I had really awful bout with carpal tunnel issues a month ago. I had spent many days working with my hands all day long, preparing to move from one house to another, then building a fence at the new place, ripping out poison ivy.... I don't even remember exactly what I was doing to my hands. Anyway, they'd start hurting at night, and the pain would wake me up.

Once the move was over, my hands started to recover. Ten days later I rode the LOL 1000km and my hands were fine for the whole ride. A couple weeks later now, I'm mostly over it. My two my outside fingers are a little tingly still, but the pain doesn't come back at night.

I've had this for years, and I don't think it's gotten any worse over time, and I can manage it by learning what works and what's not so good. Integrated brake and shifter, for example, don't work at all for me. Bar end shifter and down tube shifter are fine.
