ulna pain

[AvidFisherman]

I was doing standing military press last night and hit failure. I thought I would bring it down to my chest and walk it forward to rack like I always have done but it slipped off my chest and I pushed it on the rack quickly. It tweaked my left wrist.

It hurts a little when I type but hurts more when I articulate my wrist or grip something. The pain begins where the ulna meets the wrist and travels up the ulna about two inches. I am planning on wrapping it and hitting some bicep and triceps exercises tonight, I should not need to rest it should I?

If it was me I would be icing it and take some anti inflammatory/pain killers and give it a couple days with no activity (maybe hit legs) and see if it improves. If there isn't any improvement then I would be seeing the doctor.

But I wonder, if I stretched a tendon like I think I did, if I wrap it tight with some writs straps so my wrist cannot move, I should be able to workout still correct? Gripping is my concern though; if I cup my fingers and pull on them it hurts the area mentioned before.

[chuckz28]

As it is now, if it isn't damaged it has a great potential to be damaged in its weakened state. I wouldn't risk it.

small injury can turn into big one really quick. you'd be smart to take it easy bro.

My guess is, it's just a bruised/inflamed muscle on the forearm that is causing a pull around the wrist because of the impact.
I hit my shin on a machine last week right on the tendon that attaches the tibialis anterior the ankle and couldn't move my foot for two days.
This is where I hit.


And guessing where you hit is right where the muscle starts in the picture so it's causing a pull.

beast how long should he rest it?

beast, ladies and gentleman is an absolute expert on injury because he is prone to injury much like a toddler. fella gets hurt playing ps4. :D

[AvidFisherman]

Beast, I did not hit it with the bar. Instead of letting it drop like I should have I kept a hold of it as it was falling and pushed it forward onto the rack.

[AvidFisherman]

Also, the pain is on the side and not the top, to the left of that muscle.

[AvidFisherman]

I decided it would be best to let it heal for a couple days, it's feeling a lot better but I'm still having a little bit of pain and my grip strength is not at 100 percent. I am thinking tomorrow I will do a bit of chest, wrapping my wrist well, and see how it feels.
