Im a nutball, and no pain here.

hmmm... try some light weight training with an emphasis on flexibility and range of motion for your arms. sort of like giving yourself physical therapy. maybe doing things like playing tennis might actually be aggravating your problem as well?

Sounds like that might have something to do with it. I weight train pretty regularly but I might try spending some time focusing on my wrists and elbows with some lighter weights. I've heard thats supposed to help prevent carpal tunnel and tendinitis. Thanks for the help guys!

I have to agree with you on this one. You will notice a lot of pain around the wrist area, that is why I keep it in the middle of the shaft while am working the controls. It makes hand flying very exciting.

I'm confused here. Are you talking about masturbating or flying the ERJ?:eek:

Because I'd been beating the meat for YEARS before I ever even knew what an ERJ was.:D
