joints

topic posted Mon, October 15, 2007 - 9:50 AM by  Erica
I tweaked my wrist a while back and it got really bad over the weekend but sure enough as soon as I decide I need to see a doctor, it gets better almost overnight. Now I don't think it warrents waiting all day at Primary Care just to have a doctor say either take it easy or than nothings wrong with it.

What's good for a healing joint besides taking glucosamine? Like I said it's not bad enough to see a doctor, but it does inhibit hand floreos.

    be very careful with wrists.. There are many small bones. It may be worth spending part of a day at PC just to rule out a fracture.

    Besides that, my next point was muscle/tendon strain is worlds different than fracture healing.
    Racquet balls make for good squeezing exercises.

    GO SEE THE DOCTOR!!!!

    I hurt my wrist over a year ago and toughed it out. It would hurt, then go away,then hurt like crazy again whenever I put much stress on it. It turned out I had tendonitis, and now my wrist os royally screwed up for life. I have to be very careful about what I do, and how much of it I do. Now, instead of picking up my poi for a bit fo spinning, I have to stretch, warm up, then spin, then stratch and cool down and ice my wrist. 2 months of physical therapy helped, but it's still a drag.

      I understand. My mom actually convinced me to go to the free clinic the following monday, and sure enough by that day it got better.

      Even though I don't have problems with it anymore, I still couldn't do massage for over a week and if it happens again I won't hesitate.
