Death grip in modified pen grasp causing nerve damage
RDH for 9 years and have started developing numbness on the fingertips of my dominant fingers of my modified pen grasp over the last month. I'm hypermobile, and especially in my thumb, so my grip is death-like to keep stable. Mostly in my middle finger, but my thumb and index finger have it very mildly as well.
Has anyone else had this issue? I'm unsure what to do at this point.
