Sore hands – these are my options
Hi all, I don't know that I'm looking for answers (but if anyone has experienced this, please chip in). I guess I'm just sharing.
I've been poledancing for about 2 1/2 years now. I've always been a bit heavier than I should be for my height (5 feet 10 and 180 pounds if I convert from metres and kilograms?), but not drastically so.
In September I tried aerial silks for the 1st time and I've been doing it weekly since. It has much more impact on your hands and mine have been taking strain. They don't hurt when I'm on the silks but every morning when I wake up, they are swollen and frozen into claws, and it takes me a few minutes to get them working again. Then they're fine all day…
My physiotherapist wants to rule out Rheumatoid Arthritis (eek!) but it's probably just overstrain injury.
My reason for raising it here is that when I was telling my pole students, one of the new girls said she had been experiencing it as well? Has anyone else experienced this?
