Well its been over two months now and my wrist injury is getting no better so i finally made the call. A couple of months back i was shrugging 405 on the straight bar with straps and i believe it was the strap that got me. I wasn't bouncing or anything like that. I think the strap just cinched down so tight it fucked me up. Awful pain if i move it the wrong way. It gives a burning sensation up my forearm and hurts to touch the wrist or even the bone in the forarm. Its been limiting my workouts to the point its hardly worth going. Don't mean to boowho here to much but thought id throw up a post and get back to ya when the doc tells me something. Did i mention its a girl doc and kinda hot? I wonder if she Will need me to strip down? Meh ill just do anyway while Im waiting...
 
Good luck sometime they can give injections into the wrist to relieve the inflammation, they can work wonders for some problems.
 
Try an A.R.T. Doc. They can do amazing things.

There is only one ART doc within a 50 mile radius of me, and she worked wonders on my hand. It can be painful because if scar tissue has begun to form improperly, their job is to break it loose and manipulate your injury to heal correctly! Here are several testimonials from ART threads on 2 different boards.

I had it done on my ebow for tendonitits...worked absolute wonders. Nothing else worked for me but ART and I had been dealing with my injury for months at the time of my initial treatment. It may take several visits to treat your injury but it's well worth it. BTW, the treatment can be quite painful.

I won't live w/out ART if youv'e never had it and have an injury this is the best treatment to get.....i went the first time when i had tendonitis and had been getting treatment by a PT for months w/ no improvement...3 visits and I was lifting again....

I go on a regular basis....he fixes what I destroy in the gym.....basically they are doing deep tissue manipulation in order to break up scar tissue from forming....or if it's already formed....yes the treatment can be very painful....and you'll walk out feeling like you've had a workout....and you'll prob be in pain for 24 hours afterwards....but 24-36 hours later....You feel WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!


If you go to the web site you can find a practiioner in your area...

G' day,

Over the last month I could feel a pain in my forearm after doing tricep exercises or chin ups, it seemed to be getting worse each week.

Based on what I read here I went to a local guy who does ART, fixed my forearm muscle pain in one visit, I was very impressed. I will do one more follow up visit next week.

He told me to try chin ups with palms facing for awhile and instead of skull crushes with a bar and palms facing forward try dumbells with palms facing each other. Hope this will stop this problem re-occurring.

Neville.

I've been seeing an ART doctor, who's also a chiropractor, for about 16 months, off and on.

I went to him because I had shoulder surgery in August 2003, to reduce arthritic overgrowth in the humeral head and one other bone in the shoulder I can't recall. The insurance-paid PT told me bluntly "Oh, you'll never get back to full function; we can't take you that far, and you should never reach behind you with that arm, and never lift over 50 pounds." Screw that! I found Dr. Farris after four months of effectively INeffective PT, and he had me at full range of motion within only FOUR sessions. Yeah, they hurt, because we were working through scar tissue in my full range of motion. At the end, though, I was back doing martial arts.

Then, in March of last year, I fell while climbing, tore the left quad off the kneecap on the right and sprained the left knee something awful. The PT, once again, was unwilling to help me get full range back, and Dr. Farris got me there. It was then we discovered there was a pinched nerve in the back that was keeping the vastus medialis from firing at all. We're working on that one, stretching out and opening the space and trying to reduce the inflammation around the nerve root.

Between that and chiropractic, I'm recovering better than I thought possible.

ART has been a godsend for me. It helped me to regain about 30% ROM in my right shoulder.

Befroe ART it was so bad that my bench dropped by 40% and I could hardly get under the bar to squat!

We all know why you have a "wrist" injury, but I'd stick with your story when telling the hot doctor... :p

I didn't even know there was ART docs.?

No no no. My left wrist is hurt. I would never jeopardize righty. That's just crazy talk!...
 
Turns out its Tendonitis and a bone spur. She said its no big deal and an easy one to treat. She shot me up with some goop. She had a inch and a half needle roughly 23g and was rooting around in my wrist like she was trying to unclog a toilet. She says rest it for a week and start back light and slow unless it hurts. If its not totally better in four weeks then its surgery. Which she said is easy and Will take care of it. She had a nice lacey top on and i wondered when it would be my turn to give an injection and before i knew it she was gone. Damm the bad luck...
 
If it wasn't for bad luck.... Lol

Get some wrist wraps too, I really like em.
 
Wrist wraps, not lifting straps sir. :)

They wrap around your wrist for support.
