funny fingers

I cant remember whether I wrote about this before, but I have this little problem with bursting blood vessels in my fingers.  well tonight at the beacon, my fingers felt like they were throbbing quite a bit, so I taped them up as usual and spent ages warming up so as not to stress them.  just getting warm (although admittedly distracted by the numbers of people around) and pop! one of the untaped (and normally robust ones) bursts.

Yuk!  the upside to this is I did finally meet someone with a similar problem, so I dont now feel quite so alone.  Not sure what to do about it though, so if anyone reading this knows why this happens or how to prevent it (other than taping and warming up slowly) then please let me know!
