I'm hoping that someone has some idea about wrist injuries. I think I probably injured my wrist in class after a session on wrist locks. Both wrists ached a bit the next day but after a week or so, the left wrist really got sore. (I also write and use the mouse on my PC with my left-hand.)
The discomfort is mainly below the thumb and on the inside of the wrist (I haven't had any trouble with pain in fingers or forearm.) It is worst when I exert a pull on the wrist (ie if lifting a heavy case or commencing a lat-pulldown in the gym) and when I bend it backwards (ie standard push up position.)
This normally wouldn't bother me but the pain has been around for 4 or 5 weeks now. I got a sports wrist support (basically a velcro strap) and I have applied Tiger Balm and anti-inflammatory gel without much effect. I think I am going to have to miss training tomorrow again because of it so I just want to get it cleared up.
Any ideas of how I can treat this?
Thanks in advance
