My aching, fukin wrists.

[a creed]

Let me see if I can explain this..................

If I make a fist W/thumb inside, I can barely move the wrist at ALL without agonizing pain. Left one is a little worse than the right.

Are any of these signs of Carpel Tunnel?

Its possible. If the pain is so severe go, see a doctor ASAP.
For milder pains some antinflamatories will work.

it hit me about 4 nights ago - I woke up around 3am and couldn't figure out why the hell my wrists were aching.

I am on 1IU of HGH/ed - about the 4th month - wouldn't suspect that low of a dose would cause this.

I thought maybe Calcium Deposits, but wouldn't that be gradual?

The tendon that hurts is the one at the base of the thumb that connects it to the wrist.

That doesnt sound like hgh to me.

You've just described "Finkelstein's Test". Wiki Entry Here

Technically, no - it's an indication that you are suffering from DeQuervain's tenosynovitis. This is anatomically different from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

I'm on HGH, and it hit me in one wrist as well. But I think mine was caused by muscle cramping of the forearm, which sprained the thumb tendon that lies within that sheath.

But now that I see your post, I wonder if maybe not...

EDIT: Duh. I'm getting Active Release (ART) performed on it, which is helping - but what just kills me is any intensive forearm work.

Yep. Mine started 5 weeks ago, at about month 3 into the GH. It's slowly getting better, even though I haven't taken a break from lifting. I'm able to bend my wrist like that pic a couple degrees with almost no pain, before I couldn't even begin to move.

Short of getting some kind of therapy, my only suggestions: keep moving the wrist during the day; tape up when pushing the big weight; ice it when you're just hangin' out; and consider working on finger extensor strength - think of strengthening the fingers in the opposite direction of gripping.

Good luck with it, bro.

So you're saying 1 measly IU of HGH/day could cause this?

Dunno - I've been running 4iu/day. Haven't cut down. You know, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

Oh, the other thing that seems to help mine: I have my wife use a wooden rolling pin on my forearm muscles, and really dig in and roll them out while I place my forearm on the counter. I think in my case at least, it's all tied to how tight those muscles get.

it's a common hgh side effect bro..take some aleve or ibu. to relieve the pain..
