Wouldn’t be so bad if it was first and second finger. Ever try riding only able to use pinky and third finger? Well I rode both days this last weekend like that. Only killed the motor once. I had to get used to it

Friday a wasp stung my finger when I was picking up the tongue of my trailer. I did not know there was a nest in the receiver

Ouch, I feel your pain.

Was out a couple weeks ago on an 1100 shadow and hit a speed bump on the highway I wasn't expecting that sent the energy right into my hands and wrists.  Every bump after that hurt.  When I got off the highway I took some Motrin which helped a lot.

BTW, if yu didn't already try, Motrin and an anti-histamine like Benadryl may have relived some of that finger pain and swelling.

chew for a minute on plantain leaf
put on the finger
draws out stings
works with bees and wasps  
They grow everywhere around here

Usually get relief within minutes and swelling and pain go down

But like dr G says  Benadryl also helps with histamine reactions

here is a link to pic so you can see what it looks like
