My wrist hurts?

[archiz]

I ve always had a weak point here and now that I am playing tennis more regularly it ain t doing wonders. The thing is I don t wanna stop training :/
but today I played really bad because it hurt a lot. So any quick remedies I could use cause I have training again on Saturday and I dont wanna cancel :(

Sounds like your form is off and or you need to wrap or strengthen your forearms.

Icing it would also help after you play or doing alternating heat/cryo therapy which you can actually just do in the shower.

Stretching your and strengthening your wrists by doing strengthen and hand exercises would help to. And yes there are stretching wrist exercise you can do to warm up your wrists.

If it's a form problem you might work on that, I've had similar injuries in martial arts from poor form when I first started once you figure out your form and how to properly direct the energy of the hit and positioning and all that it helps.

[archiz]

my form is generally good though :/

[archiz]

but thanks for the tips ^^

[Phoenix98]

Lol well I can only make assumptions since I can't see for myself.

Well if your form is good then I'd try stretching your hands, forearms and wrists before practice and if they're hurting and stuff after then ice em or do alternating heat/cryo therapy.

If possible work on strengthening your wrists and forearms simple wrist/forearm exercises with dumbbells will work for that.

[Phoenix98]

welcome ^^

Got ya :)

Pain in the wrists is cause by bad form.

Notice how she has her hands on the bed. Thats wrong. The proper way is to rest your arms on the bed.

Lol seriously now I used to have the exact same pain when I played tennis and what helped was a wristband.

You just put it on tight and it will reduce the mobility of your wrist. Too much unnecessary movement is what causes the pain.

[archiz]

lol you hornball :P
yea one of my friends mentioned that ^^

[yellowgirl00d]

I play tennis and train a lot and that shouldn't happen. Do you train for too long? Or maybe you have a bad racquet? The strings could be stiff even if it's a good racquet. Or maybe your grip is bad. If you just started it may be hurting because your technique is bad (that's what I think).

[archiz]

it s not only due to tennis
I am a lot more on the computer and all because I am an architecture student
I go to the gym and started lifting and swimming
I think all of that together triggered it.
I ve always had a weak spot here, it comes and goes smh...
last time the inflammation was bad enough that I had sort off a ball forming on my wrist XD

[yellowgirl00d]

Oh ya I heard of that shit happening if you're on the computer for long I think you should just try doing other sports for a while and maybe go see a doc cuz wrist pains are bad.

[archiz]

got ya thanks :)

Buy a carpal tunnel brace from the drugstore. They are AMAZING! My wrists get sore on occasion and the braces keep them functional.

[Levin]

Look after your kidneys :) Give your back a rub up and down with the back of your hands 81 times, every morning.

Check your form. You're holding the racquet firm and right at the bottom, etc. If you use bad posture, or you're too floppy, it's going to hurt. Also, make sure you rest enough!

[archiz]

was the first part fr? XD
and no my technique is good :P

[Levin]

Everything I say is for real, girl ;)

[archiz]

eh :P

[DiogoRibeiro]

Don't play on Saturday. It'll only make it worse.

I've been in the same situation with running. I love running and every now and then, as most runners, I feel pain somewhere.

Whenever I tried to ignore it or come up with a quick solution to keep running, it only got worse and instead of missing a couple of runs, I missed an entire month.

Be patient and listen to your body.

[archiz]

hmm :(

[DiogoRibeiro]

I know. It sucks. 😞

[NearlyNapping]

You might not want to stop training, but stop anyway, until you find out what's wrong. Do some other training that doesn't hurt your wrist. You might be doing serious injury by continuing as you are. That injury may be permanent.

Take care of your body today, so you can still use it in the future. You don't run a marathon by sprinting the first kilometer. You have to pace yourself to last. You don't want quick remedies. You want good solid remedies whether they are quick or take a full year.

As an old fart who was in a lot of sports when I was younger, I speak from experience. Take care of your body now or pay the price later. A life of pain because you didn't take care of your body is not much fun.

Stop the activity that's causing the pain NOW. Find out what's wrong, and not from people on the internet. Then do whatever it takes to correct the problem. In the meantime do modified workouts.

got it :P

[Cc1234]

Try wrapping it or using a wrist brace when you play and ice it when your done. Also, I don't know how good your form is, but sometimes if your form is off or you are late hitting the ball it can cause wrist or elbow pain.

[archiz]

honestly yea
my timing isn t really good yet :/

[Cc1234]

Haha yeah it takes some practice. Try to really watch the ball and focus on hitting the ball out in front of your body. Not only will the wrist pain likely go away but you will probably hit a better ball as well.

[AliceNWonder]

Ice gel, comes in a tube from woolworths will get rid of the pain very quickly. maybe try strapping your wrist next game to limit injury

[archiz]

thanks :)

[AliceNWonder]

Hope you get better x

[TadCurious]

I have no idea how to advise you on this. And I hate that 'cause I have this mental image of you playing tennis and it's so hot. :D

[archiz]

lol thanks :P

[ThisDudeHere]

Well if anal fisting won't do the trick, then I'd simply just suggest NOT sitting at the PC.

[archiz]

that would be hard sir :P

[ThisDudeHere]

If not sitting/or sitting less at the PC is too hard, then fisting it is. Just let me know if it works. Send videos if you can... for research.

[archiz]

lol XD

[Tomsta]

I'd get some ibouprofen and go to a doctor to get it checked out make sure you arne't doing permamnent damage to it

[archiz]

I did before but I didn t want to do the operation
that was 2 years ago though

[Tomsta]

Then must be all that masturbating you're doing

haha i kid

Well i'd still get it checked you don't want to live life with a duff hand/wrist

[archiz]

hahaha masturbation might be part of that lol

[Tomsta]

And you didn't invite me? ;) :p

[archiz]

eh :p

[Tomsta]

:p had to be said

[akadatank44]

Wrap it. Probably a brace you can buy. Do dumbbell wrist curls.

[akadatank44]

To gain strength in those muscles.

[archiz]

ow someone else mentioned the dumbbells I was surprised

[akadatank44]

Yup. If it's a joint issues it will help. Basically you put your forearm and elbow on your thighs and your hold the dumbells just over your knees. Drop the weight down the curl up. Probably best to Google it haha

[RasAlGhul]

dont force it... my wrist are bad too and when they hurt i just have to give the ma pause so i dont hurt my self in a permanet way

[archiz]

no other way?

[RasAlGhul]

u can buy some medecine and gets some gels to put it on.. but the best is let it rest and heal

[archiz]

I ll see

[GoldCobra]

Yup. You need to strengthen your forearms. Grab some dumbells and do wrist curls

[archiz]

really?

[GoldCobra]

Yes.

[COCOCHANEL]

[COCOCHANEL]

[COCOCHANEL]
