Index finger hurts when stretching

Is anyone feeling pain while stretching? At the end of my 40 second stretches I feel pain in my hand more on my index finger. This is why I was thinking of trying an ADS or hanging or using something to help my manual stretches. As soon as I finish the 40 seconds stretch my index finger sometimes won’t straighten easily. I think this may be because blood is not flowing to my index finger as much while stretching. I know I should only use the above when I plateau but damn I am only 28 and feel like I have arthritis on my index finger after a 40 second stretch. The pain goes away in a few seconds but it just bothers. Is anyone or has anyone experience this and has resolved it?

Are you using the same hand/grip over and over? Might be a good idea to take a few days off from stretching and let your finger calm down a little.

Check the Review Forum for info on stretchers and hangers.

I had a similar situation, with my hands cramping up whilst stretching.

Once I alternated hands, the problem ceased.

Same here, it still happens quite often when I’m pulling hard for an extended amount of time.

I have tried alternative ways to grip my penis and my efforts have been sucessful to some extent. Nonetheless, I believe that you will not entirely get rid of that problem.

Yes, I alternate both hands. Both index fingers hurt and cramp up a little. It usually tightens in the curved position for a few seconds before I can regain movement. Once the cramp is over it is back to normal. Does this sound crazy? Maybe I am squeezing too hard. I do not feel any pain on my penis just on the fingers. I have noticed, however, burgundy blotches on the shaft. Almost looks like bruises (black and blue) very small and they do not hurt. Anyone experience this? I think I am going to search the site for the blotches problem.

Mrdstein - you said you use alternative ways to grip your penis. Can you please share this with me?

A little jelqing (5-15 mins) for a couple days and some rest should clear up the little discoloration on the head blotches Triplexboogie. That’s what I do whenever that happens to my glans from hanging/manual stretching. Be sure if you jelq to squeeze the blood up the shaft all the way into the head and hold it there for a couple seconds if you are targeting the head…

Blotches are only on the shaft.
