Not bruised - just swollen, actually i guess they do look a little
darker - i'd say *very* minimal bruising.

The only reason i can think for it is maybe when i was hopping most of
the pressure of me pulling up on the handle was going onto these 2
fingers - with the repeat of this from lots of hopping it may have been
too much.
I have now changed it so i kinda get my whole hand under there - this
also seems to give me a cleaner hop too.

yep. I had this happen when I started trials. Make sure to stretch the
fingers out if you're white knuckling the seat handle a lot...even
small muscles can cramp up. Unless you thwacked something with them,
they're probably nto broken.

If you are still hopping, you should be fine. Give it some time tho,
letting them heal will be better for you in the long run.

Are you serious? Maybe stop being such a little B*tch about it and it
won't bother you. Don't make a thread about how your fingers hurt,
thats rediculous. I mean I could sort of understand if it was something
serious, but it's not. To me it just sounds like your not very athletic
and when you actually started using your muscles your feeling what we
call the tearing down and rebuilding of new and stronger ones. But hey
look on the bright side, they'll be stonger🙂

a bunch of words

the guy asked a question. I had the same thing happen when I started
using the handle a lot. I asked my mom since she was a doctor for some
years. Go yell at someone for making a completely illogical thread
like "this is a thread just for unicycle talk" (in RSU for some
reason) instead of someone for being concerned about their health.

Anyway, sorry, back on topic. Gloves do help. I lost my right glove so
I need a new pair but they help the soreness. You may want to look
into one of those spring loaded hand squeeze thingers (I'm sure they
have a name) if the pain doesn't go away in a couple weeks of riding.
Usually means that you need to strengthen up the muscles a bit.

Yeah, i wear gloves - the KH Pulse ones - they rock!
As for unislab, learn to spell, and also, as for your not so athletic
bit - i can almost guarantee i am fitter than you - also, fitness has
nothing to do with your fingers you douche.
I was concerned as the pain is sometimes extreme.
If you dont have anything decent to say in a thread, especially mine,
then you can leave it alone.
Oh, thanks everyone that posted some constructive advice/info - that
was why i posted, not to get paid out.
If you could see my hand next to my other one you would know why i
posted.
Anyway, peace happy people.

Just give yourself a break form jumping for a while and you can work on
more freestyle type stuff.

I had the same thing when I went form my Sun unicycle to my DX, but it
wasn't so much the whole finger hurting, but mainly concentrated on one
point, about a CM in diameter.

Its just using the muscles and having pressure being concentrated into
one point of your finger that usually doesn't get abused as much.

Are you serious? Fitness has nothing to do with your fingers? Hugh, and
all this time I thought finger excersises were actually helpful. Oh
well, I guess your overall fitness doesn't relate to your fingers as
well. Yep fingers are just not attatched to your body you know? So if
your in fit physical condition your just gonna have weak fingers
forever.

Anyways I hope you realize how retarted that statment was and if you
really believe that your in top physical conditioning, better than me,
then I seriously doubt you would have posted a thread about your
fingers hurting. If your an athlete of any kind, you realize what
training your body does to you and the physical demmands brought on by
it. Pain is involved in all aspects of life, an athlete knows this
better than anyone.

And if you were really concerned about your hands, you would have gone
somwhere else other than a unicycle website. Atleast post pictures so
people can try and give you a helpful diagnostic of your situation. Not
just taking stabs in the dark from experiences they had in the past.
Even then what good is that going to do if they can't be there actually
examining your fingers? I just don't see the point, sorry.

dude if you think the guy is being a woos, then just ignore him and
dont post. Dont insult him.

I hurt my finger a while back while wearign gloves, fell over on a
bench and hurt it. It was quite annoying it was painfull for like a
month. While i wouldnt make a thread about it, the guy is obviously
just concerned to as wether his finger is damaged. TO that i have no
idea what to answer, except i hope he gets better.

a good place to ask about fingers that hurt because of unicycling is a
doctor....or some unicyclists. The doctor can tell you what is wrong
with the fingers but the unicyclists can tell you how to avoid it more
accurately other than "dont unicycle" 😉

If you have just recently started unicycling, or recently started
hopping, you will find your fingers become uncomfortable/sore/bruised.

I think just about everyone gets this issue.

I had it, so did the person I taught to ride.

Your fingers will get stronger with time.
