A while back, a took a bad spill and got pretty bruised up. Mostly everything healed up in a few days, but my wrist kept giving me trouble; limited range of motion, pain, etc. I've tried to keep off it. I didn't train for two weeks, and I've kept most of my runs fairly short.

It's been nearly five weeks now and I've got back the full range of motion in my hand, but something still hurts when I push down with it, and after a long day of parkour, it hurts for a few hours and feels kinda weak. I'm worried that maybe I broke one of those little bones in there and maybe it hasn't healed right. I'm going to the health center on campus tommorow (should have done it a long time ago, I know), but if anyone has any ideas as to what this might be, or any advice other than to keep off it, I'm all ears.

My promise for the month: three sets of handstand pushups (upto 5 reps now...)

I keep having these dreams that I'm falling.

i just wanted to say that i am having this same problem. either when trying to do a push-up or just standing on a slant with my (right) wrist for support, the pressure just makes my wrist feel tight and its painful until i take the pressure off. Basically i get the pain when i try bending my wrist back and upward. this has been for about 3-4 weeks

i have the same thing, i went and spoke with my DR. and he told me it is a mild form of arthritis, basicaly we bruised our tendons, on the inside of our wrists, and what you need is RICE rest, ice, compresion, elevation., he prescribed me some NSAID's or Non-Steroidal Anti Inflamitory drugs.
i am to take those befor exercising my wrists , and before bedtime. now as most of you are under the age of 18 you may want to buy what is called ICY/HOT or some TigerBalm, us martial artist use it alot and know the benifits

Gentlemen,

Being one of the "senior citizens" of the community (54 yrs.), and this week finally addressing a long-standing wrist injury that goes back more than 15 YEARS, I can well speak to this issue since it has and will FOREVER cramp my style.  I did not even break my wrist, but merely strained it severely in a work incident and never got it checked out.  Visiting the orthopedic surgeon to see if he could "work his magic" allowing me to regain some mobility and strength WITHOUT pain, my only "option" at this point was to either live with it, or have it operated on where he would fuse three of the four wrist bones (alleviating any further grinding and pain), but leaving me with a wrist with NO up or down movement--just great!

So, if you have any persistent discomfort, I highly recommend getting it thoroughly checked out.  I also highly recommend that you pay a visit to the OVER 40 FORUM on this website and digest what has been discussed there--hopefully it will spare you alot of long-term grief and discomfort.

Be careful out there.  Pay attention to what your body is trying to tell you and don't trash it.

I'm no doctor but... because there was some kind of injury in the past, the healing process could have and probably did cause a build up of scar tissue at the spot of injury... even though the initial damage heals, scar tissue does not just disappear (thus the term "scar")... scar tissue gets in the way and can also cause pain when pressure is applied... there are a few different ways to get rid of scar tissue and i never recommend surgery... surgery is usually unecessary followed by a long healing process, and of course, more scar tissue... my advice, talk to a chiropractor that has utilizes multiple modalities and deals with the whole body... many times ultrasound can be used for scar tissue and is very effective, especially when combined with massage and stretching... also, it is probably not carpal tunnel, and R.I.C.E. is mostly effective during the first 48hrs. after the injury... hope this helps

You have to be very careful with your wrists and ankles because they are probably one of the weakest parts of your body (except for your groin boys, its been proven that you can be mentally scarred by a good shot to the balls)

your body as a wooden puppet, all your joints are now strings, your wrist is the part of your hand where there are a bunch of strings, if injure one of those strings they need help to heal right, and usually people dont get that help or cant. In parkour sooner or later your going to hurt your wrist and it probably will never heal the same, that being said an actual doctor can always help. If you hurt your wrist visit the local clinic and ask a doctor what you can do, it may sound ridiculous to you but giving you a cast for a minor injury wouldnt be very far off

By the way, the reason why your wrist is so fragile is because the muscles in your wrist are very flexible (you can make a full circle with your wrist) but the draw back is that they only go so far (basically, their short) this is because of the small space in which these muscles have to grow. Tracuers constently move their wrist past this boundary and unlike your ankle or your neck the muscles are also very thin (remember, strings) which makes them hard to heal.

Basically, when it comes to your wrist, be careful and overzealous.

My god people, see a Doc!  Bones heal, but not properly unless they are set correctly.  I don't need to tell you the odds of you being able to set your own bones well enough to bring you back to 100%  A cast for 4 weeks is better then ending up like poor David down the road.  I feel for you Dave.
