wrist tendonitis

[hiphop]

just curious if anyone has ever experienced tendonitis in the outside portion of their wrist. man, it sucks, can't really do curls or heavy bench right now, even with wrist wraps, and have to do push-ups on fist. it only hurts on outside of wrist during certain movements and feels weak as hell...curious how long it lasts and what to do..i guess just work through it doing exercises that don't piss it off?

A few years ago I ran into a similar problem. I ended up spraining my right wrist doing reverse curls with an ez bar and shitty form(swinging, etc). I was told by my doctor to lay off the lifting for a couple weeks, until the pain and everything subsided. Well, I took about a week off and used a wrist brace. It hurt like hell at first but it finally started slowly healing. Took about 9-10 months before I could go without it and even then it still killed. Eventually through taking more time off and letting it heal more properly I haven't encountered any pain when lifting. Only problem that occurs now is the fact that I do get tendinitis in it from golfing. This royally sucks because I work in the turfgrass industry and golf is a game I couldn't see myself going without.

Moral of the story.... get it checked out. If it's hurting you that bad then take the necessary time off to let it heal

Ive got the same problem, ive had bout 2weeks off and im taking anti-inflammatory tablets aswell. Pain is still there aswell. Are there any other supplements or prescriptions that could aid the healing process. Im not looking for the obvious answer of take time off though coz im just bout to come off my cycle and with making awesome gains and got my weight up 266lbs, taking a month off would kill me and god knows how much weight id drop without training

Answers please

I had the same thing happen warming up to do shoulder press. I was out of the gym and sports for a month, and still to this day wear a brace on my wrist when training because I will just randomly get the pain back for a night then its gone the next day again...

So i to am going through some peskey tendonitis issues. So question which i asked not to long ago but what do you guys say about a cortisone shot NAY or YA..I would say Na right? But boy i would like one...

just went to my orthopedic doc and he did an mri and found out i actually torn cartilage on the outside part of my wrist and am going to get it scoped! but to answer your question, go to a good orthepedic guy and he will give u a shot to see if it calms down the inflamtion. a couple of shots won't hurt u or break u down, its when u get numerous shots my doc said is when u have problems!

I agree a cortisone shot if possible for the area of the problem

i've had two cortisone shots on the inside of my wrist within the last year....it works great for about 6 months even though you will lose skin pigmentation and the hair stops growing, but its worth it to rid the pain.
