Wrist injury...really demotivating me?!?

[Perfectionist]

I hurt my wrist during.a heavy punching card io session. At first I couldnt even shake hands because of pain. Its been about3 weeks and the pain is significantly less but still agonizing when my wrisy is under stress. I decided to rest it out to prevent further injury. 3 weeks into my rest my diet has been horrible and I'm losing motivation. I got my gear coming soon so I just wana recover completely before I go hard. You guus think I should rest or keep moderate lifting intensity until mywrist recovers??

Have you had it xrayd?

Keep lifting, but don't use your wrist...you want it to recover. Make best friends with the squat rack for a while.

Yeah that sounds good ill do pull ups n light band exercises and of course the might squats and front squats of course and no I havent gotten xrays. I believe it is a sprain after doing some research regarding heavy punching bag injuries
