question
over the last month or so I've been noticing some discomfort in my right wrist. I'd only feel it when I did pull ups, bench press and the odd barbell curl. However, the pain has gotten worse over time, and I knew if I kept going like this, 5 times a week at the gym lifting heavy shit, my wrist would eventually get super fucked. So, as my monthly gym membership expired, I decided to take a week off to let my wrist heal.
For the last week, pretty much my only exercise was walking. I tried to avoid any possible wrist strain. A week has passed, and my wrist hasn't gotten any better. While I don't feel any pain using a mouse, I work an office job and I'm on a computer for about 5 hours of my day, injured right wrist steady in that mouse position. Not sure if that has anything to do with it?
I had my mind set on going back to the gym today, but I really don't want to fuck up my wrist any further. Should I still go and just lift lighter weight? Avoid wrist related workouts completely? I was thinking of just going HAM on cardio today.
I'm guessing the answer I'm going to get is "go to a doctor", but I was wondering if anyone here on fitGAF had any advice. maybe some of you have gone through this before. I'm gonna try to hit up a walk in clinic later this week.
thanks in advance!
