Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - numbness in fingers

hey, been riding for years, on road drops, flat bars, everything. been out of riding for about a year and only recently got back on two wheels. i'm on steel track drops, cork-taped, and i usually wear pretty well-padded gloves, and i'm most often on the flat part, or sometimes on the top of the drops (where brake hoods would be were i on a road bike). my fit feels right, and yet i'm getting numb fingers on both sides. i seem to remember getting someting like this before, years and years ago, but i can't remember what i did to cure it. anyone got any ideas on what's wrong and what will make it right? i'm in good shape and usually have terrific circulation.

did you get new gloves? sometimes certain pairs of gloves just don't agree with certain hands.

yes i did. they're trek fingerless mesh gloves with a thick pad. and yes i didn't have the numbness before. and yes, now you mention it, i don't seem to get it without them. but they fit well and don't seem to pinch or impede anything. hmmm

it's most likley just pinched nerves.
same thing happened to me a few months ago after i did a long ride on only my mini straight bars.
Pinched nerves usually just fix themselves over time.
In all honesty, I can't tell if my fingers have fixed themselves or if I'm just used to it.
Either way, just give it time. If it keeps happening, maybe you're not giving your hands/nerves enough of a rest to fully heal and therefore are more prone to re-pinching.
What will make it right? Well, I started wearing gloves to fix the problem but you're already doing that, so I really don't know. I guess just be very conscious while riding to repeatedly change hand position as to not put too much stress on any one area.
