Re: Oh My Gosh... Wrist pains...

i have wrist pains too, but know for a fact that i have loose ligaments all over the place. however this doesnt mean that i know how to deal with the pain!

my wrists have cracked since i was a kid but are only painful when i play. fingers also get a bit ouchy at times.

anyway with regards to wrists i'm trying to break my habbit of flicking them about to get them to be more comfortable after being told off by both my teacher and boyfriend (sax/ piano player) both had various ways of dealing with the problem and i've foung a combo thats been working fairly well so far during the strenious time of uni auditions.

1) if you think you need to crack them, grab your wrist with thumb (where you'd normal go to feel a pulse) and rest of fingers on the back of the wrist and hand. gently move your hand back untill you can feel it crack.

its still a bad habbit i know so if you can avoid doing it then do!

2) forget about pin wheeling your arms or whatever, just sit down with some moisturiser and rub you wrists where they hurt untill the moisturiser is all rubbed in.The moisturiser not only makes it easier to rub but it also gives you a time period to rub for! id reccomend doing that about twice a day, say when you get up and before you got to bed :O)

i also rub around my tendons becuase i've found that they've been getting a bit flared up recently.
