I trapped a nerve on the TCR however that was entirely avoidable. When I got to Italy I knew it was going to be flat and so I moved my seat up and forwards in order to get a more comfortable/better aero position. It was good for the first two days where I was largely by myself but on the third day I cycled chatting to someone for about 4 hours and spent most of my the time with the palms of my hands on the tops of the bars.
When I got to Slovenia and the hills started I moved my seat down and back and the situation stopped getting worse although it was still too late - my little finger after almost a month still won't straighten, it's nothing painful though.
I'd definitely be interested in aero bars where the pads can fold up however I don't know if there is a compromise to be made somewhere on these.
