wrist injury- please help!

the_real_miked Posts: 2 Joined: 2002/08/08	2002/08/13, 02:00 PM I was wondering if anyone could help me with an injury i managed to pick up recently... Whilst surfing on holiday i caught a blow from the board as i stacked it. I didn't think too much of it at the time, but now i'm back i'm having some problems getting back into my training routine. I do a lot of press-ups etc, but now it hurts to put any pressure on my right arm - so you can imagine press ups are a nightmare. The pain is sharp, and concentrated in the lower arm. I think it's soft tissue damage, as i've had similar injuries before. Should i strap it myself (and follow the old RICE routine), or seek medical attention? If so, how do i strap? Thanks

It can be located at any Chinese herble store (cheap) -------------- Never be afraid to try something new. Remember the ark was built by amateurs, The Titanic was built by professionals.
