Newbie here. I'm not talking about the squash racket, but I want to talk about the badminton racket, I guess maybe it is the same situation. So I must say, it might relate to a grip, if  you are using a good racket grip, it might be more comfortable.

I say this because I had the same situation before while playing the cheap badmintion racket with also the cheap grip.

 Honestly if you guys are experiencing hand pain, I can gaurentee your not gripping the racquet properly seeing a qualified doctor is fine but it once fix the main issue.  You should never have this injury in the first place.   Probably the way your holding the racquet....  You may not have the grip on your racquet put on correctly either.  It should be wrapped loose so you can squeeze it.   Honestly, your going to have to re learn how to play again from scratch.

 It's a tear stop playing for a month or two.    Also your thumb is probably gripped to high up the racquet.   The force from the swing is supposed to go through your palm not yoyr thumb.    This is why you've injured yourself.

Last month I played for 4 days in a row, 2 hours at a time. On the last day in the last game (doesn't it always happen like that) I played a defensive backhand shot off the back wall that injured my hand. Maybe I hit the glass wall too hard and was gripping the racquet too tight at the time. Immediately pain developed in my hand. I could barely grip the racquet after that. Some strength has returned to my hand, but it's still not 100%.

Thanks, ripparit for the link on the hand and wrist exercises. I'm going to do those religiously in hopes of a full recovery.

I Seem to have a problem with my hand aswell when playing some shots.

specifically, It is a hard, deep backhand crosscourt, I do not actually experience any pain, I just get A quick shot a pins and needles, so I'm thinking That i'm Pinching a nerve or something(like when someone hits your'funny bone' and you get pins and needles in your arm/hand.Its not the racket for me either as Always happened(occasionally)   : S.   

If anyone has deduced some type of possible answer, Give me and kev a reason of why it is happening.

• Sore to touch
• Swollen
• Does it only hurt when you grip the racket tightly.
• Is it the jarring on impact with the ball
• Check how you are gripping the racket.
• Is your grip controlled when hitting the ball.
• Does it hurt on both backhand and forehand shots.
