wrist pain - arghhhh

[Elite_Fry]

Hey
about a month ago my wrist starting hurting... but i kept doing weights.. it got worse and worse and about 2 weeks later i decided to stop and let it rest, also it was xmas/newyears so it was time for a like a 1 to 2 week break anyway.
yesterday i went back to the gym and i couldnt do hardly anything.. my wrist was just hurting sooo bad whenever i tried a decent weight..
do you think i should just start doing lighter weights until it gets better? or stop completely?
i havnt been to the drs yet.. maybe i should
it does only hurt when i lift something, no other time
feedback would be appreciated

Try doing some wrist curls with light weights, see if that helps.

And go see a doctor.

Definatly see a doc, but in the mean time get some decent wrist wraps, they will help alot while lifting.

I got all kinds of wrist pain. I can do any exercise except anything working my bicep except hammer curls. I believe it's the ligament in my left wrist. No matter how long i have rested it, it keeps coming back. Going to the doc in late January, i suggest you do the same.

Hammer curls have messed with me in the past also.

Try some wrist wraps like Remy said.

went to the doctors and its a strained wrist...
he said i should stop doing weights until it heals properly

That's a stock answer they always give. I'd just wrap it and avoid anything that really makes it hurt.

aleeve

Try taking like 5 or 6 aleeve over the course of the day for couple days, see if it helps. If it does, you at least know its inflamation which will require basically rest.
