Wrist injury?

Hi,

5 weeks ago I had my first long (4 hour ride) off road ride and it was great.

However, when I got home my wrist was hurting quite a lot.

The pain was very bad when rotating my hand to unlock the door etc and when pushing on the palm of my hand.

This has slowly been getting better but is still hurting.

I first figured that I must have just twisted my wrist which is why I haven't been to the doctors/hospital. However, I am now starting to think that it should be better by now.

Any ideas or advice please?

Dom

    Oh, btw I have been commuting by bike for 12 months without any problems. Which I now haven't been able to do for 5 weeks and holding the bars with this hand really hurts.

    You could try Ergon grips, they are quite a bit larger. They support the palm and wrist better thana normal round grip. Wonder whether you pinched a nerve as a possibility?

    might be a little bit drastic, however my dad got into doing handstands about a year ago, after about two or three ten minute sessions, he got "carpal tunnel syndrome" http://hcd2.bupa.co.uk/fact_sheets/html ... unnel.html

    the symptoms he complained of seem very similar to yours....

    but hey could just be a little niggle.....
