my wrist hurts

i have recently gotten some new dumbbells and after a while of
training my wrist started to hurt then i figured i must have sprained
it but its now two weeks later and if a lift the dumbbells the regular
way my wrist feels like its about to break and its only my right hand
so i was wondering if my right wrist was just weaker then my left and
i have to work it out or if im doing something wrong.

I also am having a lot of wrist pain. I just thought it was arthritis.



The way I handle it is to change the position of the dumbbell in my hand and
or use less weight. When I do Concentration Curls I have to hold the
dumbbell with my thumb next to the weight to stop the hurt.



Another thing I do is take three Ibuprofen about a half hour before I start
my routine.



Hope it helps, this is my way.

I have a lot of wrist pain too...
Mostly from doing too much typing.

I cut back a bit on my internet lists and that helped.

So do reverse wrist curls and rubber band extensions.

Ibuprofen is a godsend...

Have you tried those "High Tect" mouse pads? They have a 1" rise at the back
to hold your wrist up!

My mousepad has a riser. It's the typing that's doing it.
My left wrist hurts more than my right wrist and I mouse with my right
hand.

But thanks anyway. :-)

Tell me about it!

I used to convince others that being 40+ is no big deal.

But i said that in my late twenties. I have a slightly different opinion
right now...

42. I am slowly turning into my father. Scary...

ROFL! I do SO know that feeling!
Dad is fixin' to turn 75.
I'm glad he's finally discovered why I have a love affair with Ibuprofen.

I'm just glad I have a high pain tolerance.
Of course, I think that that is a requirement for weight lifting.
Are we masochists or what? ;-)
