I have had 12 hand operations over the years starting at 26, today I’m 52. Dupuytrens contractor due to my Viking blood. I was in there with the carpel tunnel women and it is no joke it is painful. What worked for me as for as cycling is buy a good pair of gloves. Learn how to ride with minimal pressure on the hands like riding hand free which isn’t that hard. Especially when riding over a rough surface. And the worse part is to take is easy My weak point. Don’t over do even if you wanna .. when I said hand free I only mean when rough terrain isn’t present otherwise keep an easy grip. Hand problems are not fun so many nerves in our hands but over come and have fun riding bikes
