Hi, I am new, I am a 24 year old guy who is reasonably fit and have done a few (55) dives now. I did a 32m dive this morning - done on computer, we spent about 10minutes at 32m, most of the rest of the dive at 13m and then a good 5 minute safety stop. on the boat, i was absolutely fine, but then got a sudden stabbing pain in the smallest joint in my left index finger which went on for most of the surface interval (1hr20min)... i then did a 40minute dive between 5 and 7m and it largely stopped hurting but is a bit tender.
Was this a bend? If it was it was pretty unusual i would think. i feel like a bit of an idiot, but everything was entirely in limits and i am diving with a really good dive shop.
Should i be worried? it seems to be resolved now but i was just a bit concerned but felt like a wally so didn't want to bring it up on the boat.
Also are mild dcs symptoms common after dives? or should they all be treated? i think i'm probs being a hypochondriac.
