Thanks guys. Hand is getting better and I'm starting to understand why it happened. Seems like a combination of events like resting my left elbow on the door on my truck as I drove north for 40hrs was part of the equation as well as the rough road and muddy conditions requiring more gripping than I have done before on those bar. Finally the padding on those bars wasn't sufficient to deal with all the vibration and how much I had to grip it.
So it appears that I've compressed my ulnar nerve in two places - the usual cyclist injury of the base of the palm and then again in my elbow.
Nothing life threatening and I should recover fully in the not too distant future.
