I should Work at Oakley

I turn 42 this November. It's Casual Friday where I'm currently working and they give out one bottle of Corona to everyone on lunch break. I grabbed my Leatherman to pop that baby open, and BAM ⚡🖐️ sharp pain inside my palm like in the base of my thumb. Is this arthritis? Also got gray hair showing, looking at the new temps in their 20's, then I look at my reflection and think "sh1t I'm probably her dad's age.." 😅

Middle age here I come. :car:

Just play it safe, get a X-ray or a MRI. Hopefully you have insurance. 😉

If something like this happens it's always good to wait a few days and see if it gets worse or gets better. There's no trauma involved

Well, to be honest, about 7 years ago I had some serious pain in my hand and it turned out to be Carpal Tunnel. They performed surgery and it has been good to go ever since. I’m not saying this is your case/problem but please play it safe. Take care please.

My 75 yr old dad has gotten rx lenses custom made for his x-metal frames for years and years. it is possible just kind of expensive. When I go to try his xx's on I go cross eyed. Thankfully still 20/10 but I know it won't last, 39 soon and already noticing increased comfort wearing +1's while using computer or reading.

My biggest check so far has been my weight and my elbows. I can't eat garbage non stop like I used to, I have to watch it or I immediately feel like crap.

The worst though was sudden bad tennis elbow in both arms - hurt to even lift a glass of water, and it came on suddenly in both arms same time! I felt crippled!
Doctors looking at me like I'm fine and nothing wrong, super frustrating. There's no quick cure and I know it's from excessive keyboard and mouse use at work the need for which I can't control and have to keep on. The weight lifting had to stop completely for a couple months and icing both elbows every night. Now 6 months later I'm up to lifting but absolutely no lateral stress motions and no exceeding 15 lb dumb bells, no more 80 lb power lifting crap, just well controlled high rep low weight stuff, which weirdly is more effective for me results wise anyway!
But if I do the wrong thing or too much of this or that the elbow pain come right back and I have to ice it, it sucks!
 
Yea it does. 53 here. I hurt in places I didn’t know could hurt. No idea on your hand but I’d guess it was a nerve with the sharp pain.
