Came back from a weekend backcountry camping yesterday.
Right hand was a bit sore on Saturday morning and a lot sore on Sunday.
Swelling on the back of the hand and when I extend my fingers, it sounds like an old rusty door hinge opening! Freaky! Sounds the same when I roll the fingers into a fist.
I first noticed a hot spot about 2 inches back (towards the wrist)of the big knuckles of my index and middle fingers on the back of my hand. Feels a bit crunchy back there too.
Guess I will try some anti inflammatory and see if it works but I hate taking that stuff.
Not sure but I suspect that lifting the pack with one hand and rolling it onto the shoulder or stuffing compression sacks did it in. Guess I will need to pay more attention when doing things like that.
Keeping a cold whiskey on it right now but wondering if you guys have any other ideas?
