Member 1000, 125 posts | I broke mine 7 or 8 years ago and after 7 weeks and 2 A&E trips where I was told there was nothing wrong with it I evetually went private and I was told it was broken (the private clinic x-rayed me with my wrist turned out which made the break easier to spot). I wore a wrist support which I got from a chemists for a couple of months. The support had a metal splint in it by way of support and I'm pretty sure it was one where the thumb was covered i.e it wasn't just a tuba-grip. I also tried some natural remedies to try and promote healing such as tumaric etc. The private Dr did mention that the risk of arthirits is high but so far repeat pain there has not been too bad. | ||

Please don't f**king rest !!! that I like! by strapping do you mean kinesio tape or just wrist wraps. would have thought most pulls would be fine (variations of deads, snatch/clean pulls? ) and squatting. pressing with a fat grip gives it no problem | ||
