Sorry. Try some inclined pushups to take a little pressure off until it heals. -------------------- Peace, Surf Doc Be safe, surf smart, know your limits!

If it is still bothering you, demand an MRI to look for a Triangular Fibrocartilage tear. The TFC is a complex in your wrist that is similar to the meniscus in your knee. Can heal on it's own, but sometimes requires arthroscopic surgery to smooth out the tear. Just my .02C -------------------- www.brownfishhandplanes.com/ Post Extras:       Pages: 1
