Arthritis in the wrists

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

I've practiced Ashtanga for about 2 years now. I've

always had wrist pain whilst practicing but just

recently found out I have arthritis in both

wrists...I'm only 25.

 

I was just wondering did anyone ever come across

someone with a similar problem and how did they tackle

it.

 

thanks in advance

Ciara,

 

I've been practicing Astanga for 5 years. I had a broken wrist 6

years ago and can relate to wrist pain. About 4 months ago started

to get clicking again in my left wrist (one which was broken) as well

as pain again.

 

My regular instructor did not comment on what I was doing wrong. My

1st teacher during a private lesson which I was giving her, told me

that I was not bending my elbows fully while jumping back (good

observation). I have been bending my elbows fully for the past 1.5

months and the pain is gone.

 

If I had bad Arthritis would not jump back at all, if it was

bothering me.
