I have a problem with my fingers which I think is broken blood vessels. It happens when I do intense gripping exercises, like rowing, pull downs, and sometimes when I grip something hard like a door knob that doesn't turn. I get a very sore knot, sometimes a little bruising, that lasts a few days to a week. It's usually on my ring or index fingers, inside, between the 2nd and 3rd joints. It's difficult to know exactly what causes it, because the pain is delayed, and I don't notice until sometime later in the day.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to prevent or reduce these injuries, and how to treat them? It doesn't seem like gloves would help, but possibly? I don't have any bruising or similar injuries anywhere else on my body, or any other pain in my hands, so I am pretty sure it's a mechanical problem with my hands and the way I exercise.
