Sore wrist

[michaeljames92]

Lately i have been practicing every day for a couple of weeks and i am getting a sore left wrist (right handed golfer) at the back of the wrist when i bend my hand back. is this a sort of RSI injury? anyone had experience? thanks guys

I was hitting like 70 balls a day M-F on hard mats. My wrist is slightly sore when I bend it, but I had a problem a few weeks back when my last 2 fingers started to fall asleep while I was sleeping...I googled it and my symptoms were similar to cubital tunnel syndrome.
Just take a few days off! It seemed to help me. I also braced my wrist with a homemade brace while I slept.

I've had that kind of pain before. Could be a sprain. Just go easy on it for a while, and if it doesn't go away, see the doctor. It actually benefitted my game, as i spent more time working on my short game.

yeah i will stop for a while. i think it is just from the impact of hitting the ball again and again. i will practice some putting. thanks guys

I always get that, its just from hitting balls.

Or posting too much on the sandtrap.

That happened to me recently. When I would cock my wrists I got a shooting pain in my hand so I just didn't take the club back all the way. It went away the next day.

It's tough to be hurt, I have been a bit recently, I just consider it a good reason to spend a lot of time practicing putting.

I have a left wrist pain, I am a right hand golfer, I start feeling this problem, when I changed my swing to the Stack and tilt, now i am hitting quality irons with compression for the first time after 5 years of playing the game, i used to scoop the ball so i was way short in comparison to my friends, what can i do?

I had this too. It got so painful that I went to the Doctor's. He diagonised a forearm strain, saying that the pain from my wrist was spreading up into my forearm and elbow. It was really painful, but I took 3 or 4 days off and haven't felt pain since.

thanks for your quick reply, i never had that pain before, because i was scooping the ball, but now i am hitting with a descending blow, and taking divots, but my wrist suffers, i guess i have to go to the doctor as well, i hope my wrist gets used to this new swing, because I aint going back to the scooping.

Going to the doctor helped me a lot because I realized it wasn't much of anything serious. I'm not sure mine was even golf related because it NEVER hurt me during my swing, only a few hours after, it was such a weird injury. Good luck with yours though, I know it hurts a lot. Icing it helped mine a lot, not sure if you've tried that or not...just a suggestion.
