I'd say because you havn't been out for such along time your muscules arn't as used to it as they used to be, so because you've give it to much beans it has probally pulled your muscle in your rist but don't count on me i'm no doctor :P . I have a weak muscle in my right ankle every time i walk up stairs my right ankle clicks and when it is cold and wet i can't put any pressure on it because it hurts so badly.

It'll probably be tendon/ligament if it's in your wrist. Unless you had a really bad break and it set wrong you wouldn't still be having pain now, but I think you'd have noticed (and complained more) if you'd have done that.

I reckon go to the doctor and tell him it's no better after 3 months and you want a referral to a doctor/surgeon who specialises in hands. When you go to your GP with a problem like this, they really won't know what's going on and "rest it" is the obvious stock answer.

It's stupid that people like you have to resort to acupuncture and other, less tested treatments, rather than seeing a specialist who knows what they're dealing with. The other thing you could do would be to see a physio - there are plenty of people on here who have had good experiences.

In summary - go back to your GP and demand a referral. If that doesn't work, go see a physio.

the bar question ain't stupid at all, I used to have some wrist problem, I run zoo! bar, they were tilted a bit backward and were hurting my wrist pretty badly, then I tilted them forward, so the Zoo! logo would be vertical with the ground, and my wrist problem just sorted himself out (Y)

So maybe try and play with your bar's angle, might help :)

may well be cartilidge the way you describe it, know a bloke at the gym, who tore the cartilidge in his wrist, could still bench like a mother, do chin ups etc, but try get him to rotate his wrist, the bloke couldnt turn a key without yelping in pain, because of the way he tore it. may be similar here, because of the tear/damage, whenever your wrist compresses to meet your forearm. ( put ur elbow on the table-manners excused, with ur fist clenched, so the 1st knuckle of ur fingers sits flat, and push on ur fist with your other hand trying to push ur elbow into the table) should hurt like a proper cnut. if it does, is most likely cartilidge damage.

I have bother with my wrists i found out that i lie on them bent when i am sleeping and in the morning i cant lift a cup of coffee so got myself a power ball and work really well i am surprised. I was also using try-all flay bars which have a high sweep and swapped the for the replicas which are much flatter and found this really helped alit also use wrist supports out of tesco and now i hardly have bother with them so i can go back out (Y)

I run Zoo bars... but it was a sudden movement that killed my wrist, not a prolonged bar angle effect.

I'll talk to the school doctor about it, see what she says... <_<

perhaps try angling your levers down a bit more....

loads of people seem to run their levers very high up, which causes me terrible wrist pain when going for big wheelswaps, as you have to twist your wrists right back!

i run my levers VERY low down, so i can stil be comfortable on the biggest of wheelswaps. makes a massive difference!

I'm pretty sure there's a physiotherapist on the forum, could be 'physio.'

It might be worth having a chat with him as he will understand more because i'm guessing he has a background in trials.

Or you local physiotherapist might be able to help.

What ever happend to that physio on here that helped people with these kinda questions aint seen him in a while. Fish oil , powerball and lots or muscle building foods and gentlre recovery exercise oh and maybe leave off the bike for a short time to let things heal.

Yea his name is Simon. I would give you his number, but my phone is out of charge, and im at school, so i cant charge it :ermm: . Damn A2 Chemistry. I finish at 3:30. So ill charge it, and pm you his number, ill also give you his msn. He definately knows his stuff, and has been a great help to me. Helped me through the last 4 months, and hopefully will continue to, untill im fully recovered. Anyways better head off, i have lots of typing to do,

toodles

Right lad,

Speaking as someone who has just recovered (fingers croosed) from a similair sounding injury I recomend the following.

Going to your local GP tell him exactly what the problem is tell / show him what trials is (take a CD in if nessasary).

I have been out since November with a tear / perferation to the cartlidge in between the small bones in my wrist. I had to have an operation.

If your GP tells you to rest and take ibuprophen for a couple of weeks tell him to go f*ck himself. If you have no joy with your GP go to an osteopath they can ussually put you intouch with a specialst.

You may need a MRI scan and these arent cheap!

Regards

John Evans
