Hi Dr Mark, i have a couple ??s

Me and one of my good riding buddys are getting ready for a pretty serious year of off road racing this year. Last year we raced a few races but i always had plenty of time to recover in between, a luxury i probly wont have this year. The two biggest problems i was having were

1) numbness in my hands/pain in my wrists ( pain came when the races were close togeather), ive tryed everything to combat this, working on my rider position, staying loose, making sure i dont have my gloves strapped too tight or any of my gear to cut off circulation, adjusting my levers and bars and trying different grips, anything that could have had me self inflicting it, yet it still persists to get worse. I even notice it some times at work now when im turning wrenches. Is there anything i could include in my work outs to help prepare me and lessen this and is finding a Dr for carpal tunnel surgery something worth looking into?

2) energy levels, i never feel like i have the endurance and energy i should, even though its improved with my vit D and testosterone that i now take. What low impact excercise (bad knees) would most benifit this senerio?


Thanks!:thumbsup:
