Wrist sprain

Hassan said:

Hi everyone,

I injured my wrist last monday using bad form
and 7 days laters its about 75% better. Ive quit
icing it after day 4 but have started again today.
Is there anything else i can do?

Did you take time off from lifting to allow your wrist to heal?

My wrists are a mere six and a half inches and I've put the hurtin' on
the right one once with some overenthusiastic dumbbell benches. Time
off was the cure for what ailed me.

Best of luck with your recovery.

wrists are the same size. How long did it take you to completely heal?

I injured my wrist last monday using bad form and 7 days laters its

again today. Is there anything else i can do? I have been wearing an
elastic bandage since last week too. When i rotate my wrist there is
a certain point where i feel pain,other wise its fine. I also will
feel pain when i lift something or pull on some stuff.

I'm no expert, but I did spend about half of last year running among my
doctor, physical therapists, and orthopedic doctors trying to find a
cure for my wrist after I got impatient with a nagging pain and decided
to ignore it. After I'd ignored it for a while, I wasn't even able to
lift a bicycle wheel, let alone a pot of water or a jug of milk. You
don't want to be in that position. Aside from the frustration of
watching all my hard work slip away, I also spent a not-small amount of
money, even after insurance, paying for multiple xrays, an MRI, many
physical therapy sessions and all of the doctor's visits.

Please give your body the time it needs to heal, even if it means
you're stuck doing things without your upper body for a while.

Maybe the reason I'm responding so strongly is that mine was also a
pain when rotating my wrist. It never hurt when riding my mountain
bike, but carrying it was agony.

Ok i'll make sure to wait until i feel absolutely no pain. Sorry about your
situation. After its healed up do i need to do any strengthening exercises
or can i just go back to my normal workout routine?

Ah, yes, another member of the light-boned brigade.

A little over a month. I'll echo another poster in this thread... I'm
no expert. Please see a doctor.
