Time to update the description. WSV50 fencer since 2005. Mostly recovered from two meniscus tears in 2006 (not fencing related) and other minor injuries. Focused on improving fencing skills and avoiding injuries. Goal is to qualify for the WSV60 team in 2012.
For some mysterious reason, my middle finger has been bothering me. While driving for about 5 hours last week, I noticed that if felt sore and swollen and didn't want to bend. A day later, it turned brown from the tip of the finger to the base.
Today, the coloration is a little better but it's got that pins-and-needles, gone-to-sleep-on-me sensation, feels numb, and scared me to the point that I started Googling for medical causes during my lunch break.
