fein...pins and needles/joint ache?

[Dougs Third Go]

last saturday I went to remove some old tiles that had cracked, the glaze on these would chip if you looked at them so I had 3 hours with the fein on low speed releasing the grout around 5 tiles before I took hammer and bolster to them, (sds would've been to numb). But since saturday I've had constant pins and needles in my left hand and every bone joint in my body seems heavy and achey...anyone else get this after using a fein/multitool for prolonged periods?

Nope, but there again never used mine ( Dremmel ) for that long in one stint, doesn't sound like localised RSI, your not coming down with something are you mate ?

Is it called white knuckle Doug? I used to get it after using a Kango.

I mentioned about the vibration recently in another post and I only use in small doses for the same reason Doug, not as severe as yourself though but that sounds nasty....

I don't think it's RSI or White Knuckle guys, I don't use it that often tbh. I'm hoping it's like when I went to gigs in my youth and had my ears ringing for days afterwards. I think a trip to docs is on cards anyway (approaching 50, man check and all that mallarkey). It doesn't hurt as such (the pins and needles) just kinda numb..maybe catching up with my brain then.

I get the same thing doug, I've been doing a 90 sq metre re grout on and off over the past few weeks and get pins and needles for days after in my right index finger.

Perhaps a pair of these could be on the cards Polyco Anti-Vibration Gloves - Seton

I once had pins and needles in my arm, the doctor gave me some cream I rubbed it on my arm and it made my arm smart.








I rubbed some on my head, but it didn't work.:lol: I'll get me coat.

Doug could it be the beginings of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, julie suffered from that.

it will just be your nerve endings out of sync doug ;0) you tend to grip vibrating machinery hard and it can cause a bit of excess trauma. flex your hand open and closed a few minutes a day and i bet its gone by monday ;0) if not, put me down for your tx12oo ;0) only kidding mate
