Wrist Hurting

matplant

Hoping someone can help please. I'm a very new rider but already ive noticed my left wrist is painful in certain riding positions, is this just a normal pain that riding gives you and will wear off ? or possibly something else ?

cheers

Hard to tell really. if it's constantly hurting, maybe best to go see a doctor in case you've damaged it.

Or take some Ibuprofen as thats an anti-inflammatory and helps with swelling.

Also have a look at the position of you brake and gear leavers, some time they are not in a good place and twisting them back around the handlebars can help.

-wanders off then muttering about changing positions to find a better one, and trying as well to avoid cracking crude jokes..........

Hiya,

Ive recently returned to riding and am noticing pain in the wrists, one thing im going to try is bar ends, as when i place my hands at 90* the pain disappears.

worth a try i guess

Could it be Carpel Tunnel?

Im a relatively new rider also, when i started out i had terrible trouble with my right wrist, it was something that i found the more i rode, the stronger my wrist / forearms became and the pain went,

i also took a bit of time to tweak the riding position to make it more comfortable
