Allyson - I have gamekeeper's thumb - basically the ligament from your wrist comes up across your palm and wraps around your thumb towards the index finger and attaches near that last knuckle - I get very sore in the base of my thumb/palm area as a result of this. I couldn't ride for more than about 30 mins before it would tart to cramp up on me. The solution? I swapped out my levers with pazzo levers and relaxed a little not constantly covering the brake like I did at first. Now it's not a problem at all.
