I fukked up the outer portion of my wrist. I'm in flag football and basketball league and lift 5x a week, but the embarrassing part is I fukked it up while I was sleeping. :dahell: Guess I had all my bodyweight on top of my wrist and 6-7 hours of that shyt fukked it up. :mjcry:After doing some reading, it looks like I have something called TFCC.


Anyone ever experience any wrist injuries? I'm not trying to be out the game and grow a flat top, I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of a wrist wrap or taping method. Please help gym brehs :to:

Breh...going with a wrist injury right now!

Been training on it for a couple of weeks, took a week off then came back and no change so need to rest it longer....Mine is a bone injury I think.

shyt is a nightmare, I can't do any biceps or back movements as it just hurts.

Damn breh I feel you. I been ttrying to sleep on my back for the longest time now. Woken up plenty of time with my wrist feeling like I slept on it bent downwards for hours. Just last week too, but luckily its good in a few minutes. If its that serious and you got insurance get it looked at.

Just cardio and abs until your wrist get right. The thing lifting injuries can do is make th injury worst

Skip the wraps and taping. You need to take time off using that wrist. If you try to work out with wraps or taping it up, you are going to exacerbate the problem.
This means you can do things like jogging, biking, or any exercises that don't involve the wrist, like back squats.

Yeah,I badly strained {possible hairline fracture that didn't show up in an xray I dunno) both my wrists when I was out jogging and jumped what I thought was a small drop, landed in the road, and to stop myself faceplanting I broke the fall with my hands.

Went to hospital, xray machine was broke {seriously} and they were transported more seriously injured people who needed xrays to another hospital, it was a sunday you see and at weekends in the UK, you don't want to get sick or hurt yourself as the NHS hardly functions. So I was examined by a nurse ,who said they weren't broken, but strained. so I went home. because it was both wrists It was particularly hard to do anything, like opening a door, even flushing a toilet.

Weren't getting better in a few days, so went to my GP, who again thought they were not broke, but referred me back to hospital for an xray and because I have money to a private physio . Xray showed nothing in the end, and while I was waiting for the results of that saw the physio. She was extremely attractive so I have several appointments,despite her being rather useless. She tried to get me to wear these splints, but all that did was give me terrible pins and needles even when she adjusted them so I stopped wearing them, My main symptoms if I remember was pins and needles, and lots of clicking and cracking.

In the end frustrated , about not getting to the gym and the physio treatments about two weeks later,I got my dumbells out and started doing wrist exercises myself and some arm and shoulder movements.

I then soon actually went back to the gym, and whether the wrists were naturally healing, or what but I just started on my routine again, but very careful with the weights and sets. I even did my wrist exercises . I didn't use straps because again it seemed restricting my wrists made it worse.

I did relapse a bit when I stupidly decided to do a session on the punchbag, thinking it would 'strengthen them', so becareful what you use your hands for ,My wrists are almost better, but this is years later, I can train fine in the gym,but I do get a few issues, I can wake up, with them being painful, I still get occasional pins and needles, and my wrists still crack. At times when doing heavy movements in the gym like clean and press, I can slightly strain them, but I just grit my teeth. But again, I have had xrays, and an opinion from a doctor ,which both tell me they aren't broke. I would say they are 95 percent better, probably won't be quite the same, but again plenty of people have to deal with issues ,mine is minor compared to some, .

Get it checked out by a sports doc or physiatrist or physiotherapist

If you think it's your TFCC it could also be FCU tendinitis

Can only tell with a good physical exam or possibly an MRI

Start with a good set of wrist wraps, I have a TFCC tear too and find the wraps help with pull and leg days. Haven't had to sacrifice anything on my lifts
