Grade: 3
Handlebar palsy.
Onset from Ride to Conquer Cancer (270km). Numbing in both hands. Weakness in both hands (cannot pinch, finger strength severly reduced). Issue is much more pronounced in right hand.
Forgot to log when it was over but I recall it lasting several months.
Wisdom - be sure to change hand position throughout ride as much as possible. When numbness comes on PAY ATTENTION.
Recovery required lots of hand rest - including not paddling for June.
