Known Wrist Problem - Unknown riding solutions

[Neil]

Hi guys,

Those of you who don't know me, I'm planning to set off with Ed (*Touring Ted*) down to Cape Town later this year. Everything is going great except for a minor problem.

I've had a known nerve problem in my wrists for the past 3 years, which manifests itself from my thumbs up my forearms, back of elbow and eventually shoulders and then neck (basically the line of the nerves). I've had a course of physiotherapy for it, I have almost a monthly osteopath treatment for my wrists/shoulder/neck, and presently it's quite gnarly (with limited use of my right hand).

As ever, I'm sure it'll heal up with plenty of rest and more osteopathic treatment. However, I'm beginning to wonder what it'll be like after weeks on end travelling. I was hoping to get some suggestions from any of you, who may have suggestions for saving my wrists (albeit a gimmick/gizmo or an exercise).

I look forward to reading your replies.

Neil
