Hi all, would like to hear about yr experience and feedback on wrist pain. It has been bugging me for more than a month now and it really hurts in supinated position in which i cant really do any form of bicep curl. Did some research, could be ulnar wrist. Any remedy for such cases?

most of the time i see wrist injury occur at the gym because :

1. location of the barbell too far off the center of the wrist due to grip technique of the bar during bench press
2. using the arms instead of the back to support the weight during squats.

solution :
review technique of those exercise
rest the wrist.........keep in neutral position.........there are splints for that if you want to.

If i remember correctly, it started out mild during deadlifts. Once i noticed, i been very careful with my wrist placement during presses n opted for mixed grip during heavy dl. Underhand / supinated grip exercise are off limit though. I even feel the ulnar side strain when palm is juz facing upwards. I did rest for a week, avoid supinated grip ex, massage n even foam roller. Nothing seems to help till now.

could do good with a bit more calcium intake from either milk or supplements

It's a ulna stress fracture. Basically micro fractures in the forearm bone. You will feel sharp pain when bicep curl. Just let it heal, around 3 weeks. I always get when doing bicep curl with a new heavy weight. The bone need time to catch up.

Here's a better idea. Listen carefully.

Go and see a medical professional in PERSON.

Ok?

No one here is qualified to advise you on this. And even if they are, they can just hazard a guess online.

i had the same issue.
i have seen doctors, kinda useless...
rest and let it heal. avoid heavy weights...

Maybe I talk rubbish here but I agree with DL, however the professional need to be legit else it is useless (yea yea we all know mother is a female), they will just give bullshit solution.

I've seen physio for other problem before, nothing solved. So if there is anyone have similar experience and got it solved, please suggest the professional you see. It is good to keep the contact even I don't have the same problem like TS, just incase I need it.

Im not afraid of iron, DOMS nor blood or sweat but dr visits scares me lol... Jokes aside, seeing dr is last resort if the pain persist. Asking here to c anyone had the same injury b4 and some home made remedy to reduce the pain/ discomfort or speed up the healing.

DL, understand yr concern. And i thank u for the advice. Normal gp prescribed pain killers and some muscle relaxant at the most. General physician or orthopedic consultant will be the last resort if needed.

Try go see a chiropractor?

Visit doctor = waste RM 100+ and 0 solution + painkillers.

It's such a rippoff that doctors can just charge money although they dunno solve the problem at all and give nonsense solution just to charge money.

Best is they do MRI, although no way needed for small problem, then charge RM1000. Actually legal.

maybe TFCC problem? any remedy for this ?

i avoid using the barbell, dumbbells seem to trigger this pain less often....i suppose the mobility i get from dumbbells when curling is better and somehow helps?

jus tried yesterday, feel the pain again using barbell. on monday i used dumbbells and it was ok....

Really? Mine seem to be the opposite. As long i locked in my position, my wrist dont trouble me. Dumbbell on the other hand, diff story as i need to stabilize the weight. But Curls both ways screw up my wrist. Now i cant train for bicep peak

ya....jus tried today...
barbell gives me wrist pain.
dumbbells r ok.
dumbbells for me for now...i dun wan to risk another injury.
i know my form might not be 100% right, but it's better than getting an injury

keep this in mind the next time you lift a weight that is considered heavy... grip the bar or dumbbell as tight as you could when performing each reps.

do not use loose grip during heavy sets....
