Worried...Shaky wrist

[Kyokushin]

Last night I was practicing Muay Thai in my karate class and we were doing a Jab/Reverse punch combo on focus pads. After the first round our partner was supposed to meet our punches with the pads. When I was doing my reverse punch I hurt my wrist. I had proper form on my punch so I don’t know why this hurt. I think I jammed it or something. It doesn’t hurt now, but today it’s been shaking a lot. Not bad all the time (just a consistent little tremble), but quite a few times my wrist completely spazzed out and was shaking like crazy. Actually it seems to shake the most when I turn it slightly to the right sideways or up some. Has anyone else ever had this happen? I’m not sure if I should just ignore this and it’ll go away, or worry about it and be careful so that I don’t hurt it more. I really don’t want something minor to become a major problem b/c I’ve got a belt test coming up soon.

Well, if this persists longer than a day, then definatley seek medical advice. It could be perhaps that you jammed it, but you also could have sustained muscular or nerve damage. Keep your wrist stationary as best as possible, and have it examined before long if the problem continues.

Give it a day or two before you panic. Little things like that happen all the time.

 

If it persists, see a doctor. While it's healing, don't punch things.

its not uncommon the muscle is under a lot of strain and is sore. Try and massage and relax it.

Also try a wrist wrap/glove if you are going to use it throughout the day. That will help it keep inline until you find out more about the problem.
