July 12, 200620 yr Hi,I'm concerned about my wrist... I dunno what I have done to it, and I'm hoping that you guys could shed some light onto it.From Monday night onwards, my wrist has been killing me (not literally! ) and I have painfull pains down my wrist when i try to pick something up of even move it, not only that, but if i try to pick something up (like a glass of water) my hand will shake and then my wrist will go weak and numb...Now either I have caught a tendon doing some Karate, or I have pinched a nerve, but neither of those will cause my wirst to shake, go weak and then become numbe for about 5 minutes...Any thought/suggestions are welcomed!Shui Dragon To know the road ahead; ask those coming back... ~ Chinese Proverb" The ultimate aim of Karate lies not in victory or defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants.

July 12, 200620 yr Author Thanks for the replies peeps...the mechanism of injury wasYou see, that is what I cannot explain! I've remembered everything that I have done (I have a photographic memory) and I can see nothing that I have done wrong to my wrist to cause it... Once again...

July 12, 200620 yr The thing about injuries is it doesn't necessarily take an injury to cause it lol. I learned that a few months ago with my back. One morning, woke up, POW, hunched over and half dead. Turns out I had a muscle spasm in my sleep... DEFINATLY see a doctor. Waiting is bad.

July 12, 200620 yr Author Yeah - I have booked an appointment (or rather my mom has... She's a doc, and may know what it is, but as of ethical issues, she cannot diagnose me, and so she won't tell me what it is either! )I'm hoping I won't need an X-ray, but that is up to the Doc... If anything is needed to be done on it (like surgery, hoping it won't, then I dunno who I am gonna live without Karate! )Man, typing with my left hand is hard! Literally! But I can type fairly fast (being left-handed is very handy! excuse the pun! )Thanks peeps!

July 12, 200620 yr Think so? Try brushing your teeth with your opposite hand. I had to do that when I had tendon repair done on my right hand, and it's a lot more awkward than you might think.

July 13, 200620 yr The doc is the best one to speculate. My guess would be a pinched nerve or hairline fracture. The body is an extremely complex thing, it can play up without any apparent cause, and waiting is not a good idea. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.
July 13, 200620 yr Author My firend accidentily had a hairline fracture on the top of her foot from an inccident at school, and she walked on it for a week thinking that the pain was from a twisted ankle, but she went to the hospital and found out that it was a fracture! Boy, was she surprised!My appointment is today in the afternoon, so all shall be revealed then... Lets hops so!
