Anti inflammatories for numbness? I've not heard that before.
Maybe I should've finished that MSc in Neuroscience after all.

I prescribe Turmeric for all life's ills. Any excuse for a curry.
carpal tunnel syndrome anyone? Get some splints, you can still ride with them.
You ride with the splints on?
The specialist I am seeing says they are for sleeping in only
When I tried to ride with them on I found it really awkward and took them off pretty quickly ..
If the numbness is Carpal tunnel syndrome NSAIDs are the first treatment option

It certain circumstances it can reduce swelling and thus place less pressure on nerves. They tried it in my meccanno elbow, butnit didn't work and I'm left with two permanently numb fingers.

Thanks for the revival...
Sadly not!
It hasn't got worse but I can't say whether it's getting better or if I've just gotten used to it. Still a lack of sensation but I'd say more like pins and needles now.
I'm using tribars mostly now, and my roadie that caused it I've rewrapped thinner and bought new gloves, and adjusted the seat which had slipped, and raised the handlebars...with all that it hasn't caused any further numbness.
The OP last posted about this in March...maybe it's already better @Tin Pot

Did you see a physio?
If not, there are a couple of v good cycling focussed ones in SW London
Nah. Feel like I'm swamped with a to do list like the encyclopaedia brittanica.
