I've played for many years without any type of injury. But for the last few weeks my left wrist has been killing me. Only while golfing. I wait a few days, then try again with the same pain. I'm sure nothing torn or broken, but it just won't go away. Anybody else have this injury?

I have had it for years. Flared up bad the last time I took lessons and had gone away for about 6 months and started up again last weekend.

I have no idea what causes it - I do no manual labor for work and spend very little time typing on the computer, but a couple games of Madden on playstation can mess me up for the week.

If you type a lot on a computer, maybe you should check out for carpal tunnel syndrome.
Just my 2 cents.

It could be like a tennis elbow type of deal....I don't know. The only pain I ever seem to get is more along the muscle that runs along the top of the arm...right behind the wrist.

i hurt my wrist playing golf in the beginning of the season some how. it took awhile for it to heal all the way. I would say I played a month with it in pain. The only way it will heal is time and for wrist injuries it takes awhile. I read online it takes like 3 weeks of not putting stress on it and thats about how long it took, but I still played during that tiem

It may be worth seeing someone or try laying off for a couple of weeks or more as posted above and then go back with just a little pitching to start off with and build up gradually to a full on drive. If its something like carpal tunnel then the pain will come screaming back and you will need surgery to get it fixed.

It might be worth checking on line for the symptoms for carpal tunnel to compare to what you have. But I'd vote most likely is basically tennis elbow for the wrist (basically tendonitis in your wrist). I got this very minorly when I was working on not cupping my wrist at the top of the back swing and my wrist wasn't used to the intense action of undoing the hinge from that un-cupped position. If advil, ice, and rest for a couple weeks doesn't work, maybe go see the doc.

I have pain in my left wrist, I stopped going to the range recently as I was happy with my game and wanted to just play on the course, I then realised I had not had any wrist pain for a while

I went on the range to work on something this week and the pain has returned slightly, so I think mine is an impact injury due to the fact we only have mats at the local range I use.

I had a pain on my left wrist, pinky side, under the bone. I only hurt while golfing as well. At first it only hurt after a swing but eventually started hurting during. I did some research and found 2 possibilities. I cant remember the names...but it was a tendon that got inflamed. Ibuprophen helped. As quick as it appeared it went away. I still have flare ups but never as bad.

You could look into what I've heard called "Golfer's Elbow" (opposite problem of Tennis Elbow).

Also, you could look into the possibility you have a cyst in your wrist. I have cysts in both my wrists and while I'm fine 90% of the time, I'll experience pain in my wrists if they are inflamed. Bad inflammation can last many days and taking it easy for a couple days won't necessarily fix it, so the symptoms match what you describe. I accidentally inflamed my right wrist this year and couldn't golf for a little under two weeks, and that was after a few days of steroids. Cysts (I have Ganglion, specifically) can be annoying.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 532, April 16, 2024 Played 18 holes at WW with @DrizZzY. It was productive, even if the first few holes (we really should warm up by at least making ONE swing 😄) weren't.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      There are still holdouts that insist that if you think it’s Tiger it’s just recency bias. And that 18 > 15.

      I agree. We will get it figured out. No worries on my part.   What do you find better about the H4? Just curious.

      Our Men's Business League Starts Tonight With an Interesting Local Rule.

      By snapfade ·

      This is the first time I have played in this league but here is an interesting local rule they use. You are allowed to move your ball one score card length in either direction to improve your lie. Scorecard has to be in the folded position though. I love beachside golf. The other rule is you got to walk unless you have a handicap placard.

      LIV Golf (Saudi PIF), "Mergers," and More

      By snapfade ·

      PGAT is all about Scottie right now and rightfully so. The PGAT has it's star right now and some potential good guys hoping Scottie takes some time off.  The LIV guys are of the radar until the PGA. There will be the Rory/ Hovland rumors to keep the fire smoldering until then.  You will probably get your wish as time moves on. What I like most about LIV is they are funded by a regime that has numerous human rights violations and the players don't seem to care. The fans certainly don't seem to mind. I admit, I went to LIV Miami to check it out, it wasn't empty.  I didn't see anyone protesting.
