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

    must..... resist...... cracking....... joke......... :lol:

    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.......... :wink:

    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
