sure, ice it a bit. if you really feel like taping, just wrap it around your wrist a few times, but not too tight. I had this problem for a while, but I found out the problem was (besides a bit of strength) that my hand was on the side of the pole. So, when you plant, push up with the stub of your forearm, if that makes sense, instead of using your hand. just use your hand for keeping yourself attached to the pole
... and thats it
