For the last few months my right wrist has pretty much had a permanent pain in it. Not a constant pain, but whenever I move it to certain angles, twist it a certain way, put ANY weight on it, carry something in an awkward way I get sharp pains in the joints.
I havn't really had any one injury from boxing that caused the damage to my joint, so I really think it's just the constant wear and tear has done it's job and now my wrist is f'd for life. I've done a little shadow boxing for the past few months which even that causes a little discomfort, but I havn't been able to use the bag at all even fully strapped up and with good gloves...
It's really disheartening that i've been resting it for this long and it just seems to be maintaining that same condition permanently.
I work in an office and just turning pages over continuously can become very painful.
Pretty much, I think my wrist is F'D.

Has anyone else suffered from anything similar and had a light at the end of the tunnel?
There was an early stage in my boxing where I used the bag a lot without wraps before I knew how extremely important they are,,, and I think it's possible that that's what's coming back to haunt me....
If their is any positive out of this, Newbies must take note that you should always wear wraps when using the bag or doing any heavy training as i'm begining to realise that once the damage is done, it may never get better and could put a large dent in your boxing and training capabilities in the future..
Finally, i've booked in to see a physiotherapist in a few days to get some actual professional advise, but it hasn't felt good so far.
