3 years ago i suffered an injury when a 2 1/4 wood drill bit went through the lower part of my forearm on my right arm. as you can imagine it did quite a bit of damage to my nerves and tendons in that area.
as a result i lost feeling in half of my right hand and my fingers ranging from the pinky to the middle finger. also i can not bend those 3 fingers more than a little past 90 degrees. i just grin and bear those symptoms.
however cold temps causes quite a bit of pain and my hand gets cold as ice. when the temps get around 74 my hand gets uncomfortable. when it gets 70 or below its starts aching like a bad toothache and i start losing control of my fingers.
i do not whine or complain about it or use it as an excuse when i play bad but it affects my performance which affects my team. when my hand feels good i play good...when it feels bad i play bad.
fri night was the last straw and i realize i gotta do some thing about it. we were playing in a side room at my local pool hall. the main room was quite comfortable but the side room was colder than a well diggers ass.
i know it stays cold in there so i wore a thermal long john under my shirt which i do quite often but it was not helping fri night. several other people said it was cool in there but not too uncomfortable. whats comfortable for me is uncormfortable for every one else so i never complain about the temps in the rooms.
i was playing 9 ball my 1st match and my hand ached bad and i wound up losing control of my fingers causing me to lose grip on my cue and dropped the shaft on the cue ball causing a foul. when i sat down a team mate asked me what happened. i told him i just lost control of my cue.
my g/f explained to him my condition. he admitted it was kind of cool and asked the room owner to turn the temp up in there. i managed to win my match but barely pulled it off.
about 45 minutes later i played 8 ball and my hand felt better due to it was warmer in there. i played well enough to win 4-0 in a 4-4 race. by then it was getting too warm for every one else and the temp was turned back down.
now i realize room owners can not adjust maintain temps to accommodate me and making every one else uncormfortable.
so i need to look for a solution. i wear a glove on my hand while i am working and put a pocket warmer in side the glove when temps drop. i tried that method shooting pool and my hand stayed warm but i had a hard time gripping my cue.
any one got any suggestions ?
