wrist proplem and I was wondering...

[adambommb29]

if anyone else has had the same issue?

I recently started experiencing some soreness in my left wrist. The pain wasn't bad at first and I didn't think too much of it. Last weekend I played a round of golf and I noticed that it was a bit more than just a dull pain. I still wasn't too worried though since I shot a 75 as a 6 handicapper. I decided to take a couple of days off to let it heal, but that didn't seem to work. The next time I went out I felt like I was "jarring" it when I was hitting balls. I attempted to play again this past weekend while altering my grip slightly because the pain seems to come about when I am holding the club tightly with the last three fingers in my left hand. Well it was a horrible round of golf and it doesn't feel very good right now. My left wrist actually felt weak during the takeaway and swinging through the ball.

I've decided to take a 3-4 days off from practicing and see if it would heal up on it's own but the more I read about wrist injuries online the more scared I'm getting.

The pain/soresness is on the pinky side and is located at the bottom of the palm/wrist. The majority of the pain comes about when I bend pinky toward my forearm. Has anyone else experienced this type of pain. I'm probably going to set up an appointment after I finish this post.

Sounds like it maybe a hook of the hamate fracture

I have had similiar problems in the past.
1. Stop golf entirely.Expect at least 2 weeks away from golf and exercise
2. Stop any exercise which exercises the wrist
3. Ice the affected area 3 times /day for about 5 minutes at a time.I use an old runners trick.Just freeze water in a small paper cup and peel the paper as the ice melts.
4. The problem that you have may be TFCC syndrome.It can be serious and can require surgery if it you keep exacerbating the injury.The good news is that it probably will improve and go away in time .I have used and currently you a brace called the "Wrist Widget ".It basically presses the bones together and lets the injured area rest and heal.I would highly recommend this brace even though it costs about $35.The designer of the brace is a hand therapist and runs an excellent blog on TFCC .You can probably call her to discuss your injury

BUMP... Does anyone know anymore about this, I too am haveing constant pain/tension in my left hand inbetween where the pinkey begins and the wrist. I have been dealing with this for a little over a month.

I am assuming it has to do with a swing fault as it is something i have never dealt with befor. Possible coinciding with chopping down thru impact?

Please, insight would be greatly appreciated

Funny, I have thought about posting this same thing. I started experiencing the same thing mid way through the season. Tried a week off, but I guess that wasn't enough. I just figured I would fight through it until the Winter and then take some time off.
