Has colorguard ruined your wrists?

I haven't touched a rifle or flag in over ten years and the only thing I use my wrists for is typing email and answers on this thing. It still hurts everyday. unfortunately yes it can be permanent. The more stress you put on them the more likely surgery will be. It's a price we pay and nobody warns us. I tried physical therapy for a while and that seemed to strengthen the tendons and I still do some of the stretches when they get sore but overall I find the only thing that helps is resting them. good luck.

This is an old trick my high school sports trainer taught me... get a tuning fork and give it a whack and while it is vibrating touch it to the end of your thumb... if it hurts really really bad then it is broken...if it only stings a bit then it is not broken.

obviously he is concerned about injuring you... that is because he doens't know what he is doing... he hasn't learned the wrist technique that allows for maximum pain and redness without any real lasting damage...

i agree with the spikes issue mentioned up there. in my section, we can't wear headbands or have anything on our wrists or ankles. so if you have like friendship bracelets that don't attactch and detatch, you have to cut it off (or is you have one on your ankle that you dont wanna take off, hide it in ur sock but DONT let it be seen). at the start of the race, the officials check if you're shirt is tucked in. thats annoying but when you're out of sight, you can pull it out. for girls, if you have a hairtie, that CANT have metal. I suggest getting those scunci hairties with no metal on it. Also you cannot have clips or bobby pins (they think you're gonna like whip it out of your hair and stab someone). When running also mind you're elbows. We had a problem once because one of my teammates runs with her elbows out. I suppose its dangerous to the other runners so watch out.

Yes, you should check it consulting with your doctor.\n I had this kind of problem also. I got my wrist twisted  two years before.I had some treatment on it. I thought I will get healed. But after six months i didn't get healed. Then i got serious and checked out by a doctor. After that my wrist give me no problem anymore!

It is a great stress reliever, i do it all the time.  Maybe too often, in that case not so healthy ( i'll prolly get carpal tunnel from doing it so much).

I recommend you do not do that. You could worsen the condition and end up with a permanent injury or deformity. Give it some time, at least a day or two.\n\nKeep it wrapped and iced. Take an anti inflammatory/pain relief med like Ibuprofen, Advil or Tylenol if you are not allergic to them after eating. Keep your wrist elevated above your heart with a sling to help reduce the swelling.

Quite a few years ago i went to the public swimming pool in my area -- it was filled with people. As i lay to suntan i decided to remove the straps around my neck and tie them around my back so i would get an even tan on my shoulders. Suddenly, the one strip slipped out of my hand leaving my right breast completely uncovered in full view, i felt so embarrassed and looked around if anyone noticed. I felt lucky when at the corner of my right eye i noticed two boys pointing and laughing at me --

I am a big Iverson Fan and let me tell you that it's not a brace it's a shooting sleeve, and it helps your jumpshot. Got mine at Target in the sporting goods section, for like 6 dollars. I got like 2 of them. (cuz you got to wash them after every game you play, just like head bands and wrist bands)\nCarmelo Anthony has been wearing a white one recently.

You may have loosened the muscles connecting your tendons to the bones upon breaking your wrist.

If you got it while typing a lot, use the split keyboard. That certainly helped me. There are also braces that you can get for your wrist. But that's a second step, depending on how bad it is.

Please read this. I know how you feel, Ive been there myself. Sending you away is not the best idea. You should go to a trusted adult IMMEDIATELY and get help. Go to your School's guidence counselor. If she can't help or you don't feel like you can trust her/him, Go to your local health department or free clinic and ask to speak to someone in mental health. This doesnt mean youre crazy or anything to be ashamed of It is a treatable disorder. PLEASE GET HELP ASAP!\n\nIn the mean time to keep yourself from being tempted to cut try rubberband therapy. This is not a cure but it may help you to stop until you can get help. Get some metal free rubberbands, put several on each wrist like bracelets, when something happens that makes you feel like you need to cut grab the bands and pop them over and over till the pain is released. I wouldnt advise this as any other way than a deterrant until you can get help. Cutting is very dangerous and all it takes is one little misjudgement to hit a vital artery and you could bleed to death. Please Don't do it anymore, Please get help. There is hope for you, Keep your head up & Be Blessed!

sprained wrists take anywhere between 3 months to a full year to fully recover. If you want to help speed up the recovery, i would advise a good multi vitamin every day so that your body has all the building blocs to repair the problem. Also apply cold compress for 30 min and alternate with a hot pad. do this once a day. i hope you get better quickly, i know its not fun to have a sprained wrist!
