wrist

My poor unlucky girl injured the growth plate in her wrist and thumb at a meet Saturday. Now she is three weeks in a wrist and thumb cast, five weeks until states. Coach, Dr. (who is hand specialist for our local college team), and DD all think she will compete at states. 12 yo L. 8. She had...

Hi, does anyone have experience with prolong wrist pain after a stress reaction in the wrist. My daughter hurt her wrist 8 weeks ago and it was confirmed a stress reaction via MRI. She still is not back in Gym because she is still having wrist pain while tumbling and doing anything that...

You may have seen some of my posts about my DD's wrist injury. It started in March with some pretty bad pain in her wrist mostly on BHS. She worked through it to get to state and I let her as she had already sat out 6+ months with OCD in her elbow last year (same arm!). Took her to the ortho...

New here, but would like to hear anyone else's experience with recovering from gymnast's wrist (distal radial epiphysitis). My daughter (L8 last season, trying for L9 this summer until this came up) was diagnosed with bilateral gymnast's wrist. The right is mild while the left is severe, with...

Hi, Does anyone has experience with dorsal wrist impingement syndrome? We’ve been working with doctors for 7 months to uncover the root of our daughter’s wrist pain on the back of her hand, thumb side while in extension/hyperextenison (done cast, brace, PT, OT, acupuncture, chiropractor, deep...

Does anyone have any experience with a stress fracture on the growth plate on the radius? My dd is on week 8 of healing from this. She was in a brace for 3 weeks, in a cast for 4 weeks, and now back to a brace during activity only for 2 more weeks. She has just been out of the cast for a...

Hi everyone I'm a beginner adult gymnast and I've just had some panda paws (tiger paws) wrist supports as I have a ganglion cyst. The problem I have is they rub terribly against my knuckles. Does anyone know how I can prevent this? Thanks

I did do a search, but I also decided to start a new thread to ask for any insights regarding gymnast wrist. You can PM me or respond here. My daughter just got an X-ray this week and the results show widening at the growth place of the distal radius, and possibly a fracture. She’s going to get...

Has anybody found a specific wrist band for under grips that works well for exceptionally tiny wrists? My daughter is a level 5 gymnast, but is TINY.....she's only 63lbs and any wrist bands I've found thus far just slide around on her wrists. She prefers longer ones for strap bar. Any...

Hi all. I was searching for best wrist supports, found all of the good info by @LGnyc, but didn't want to start writing on an old thread. My dd is going through her 3rd wrist injury in a year and I am trying to get the best wrist support. Too many to choose from, and has to be only on the...

When DD got gymnast wrist the first time, because it was mild and the gym disapproved, we didn't put her in supports. Big mistake bc of course it came back and was worse. So I think out of guilt, I went and researched and bought every support out there to see what worked best for her and what...

OK, before rings the US men sprayed something on their wrists before putting their grips on. It appears they also tape their wrists under their wrist guards and grips too. Any idea what they sprayed on their wrists?

I posted before when DD was diagnosed about 7 weeks ago. We went back to the orthopedist for our follow up. X-rays were great - in fact better than dr had expected. He says X-rays are often the last thing to show improvement but on hers there was noticeable narrowing of the gap between growth...

hi I'm asking for a fellow gymnast, she's been diagnosed with gymnast wrist. I know it's been talked about on here before, but I couldn't find anything when I searched. She's been casted, braced and taken a couple of weeks off, 2 weeks of ot and pt but still having problems. Her dr is not...

Anyone have thoughts or product recommendations for supporting the wrists under grips? Obviously tiger paws not an option. Do most kids just tape if needed?

Hi all, new to the forum. My 5 year old daughter made team at 4. Due to her age she competed level 3 at 5 in fun meets and is now really working on all of her tops skills. She can do 2 really good press handstands however she does complains that her wrists hurts. Just wondering if anyone...

So my gymmie is ending her season on a down note. Has had intermittent pain in wrists for a few months but always mild and tolerable. Something changed last week and now she can't even do a handstand or support on bars without pain. So we went to doc and x-rays fine so got the gymnast wrist...

Hi! I got a wrist injury from attempts of doing a 1-hand stand! and now, I can't push with my right hand, as the pain doesn't seem to go away! It's been months, and I don't know what kind of doctor must I go to? Can I heal this myself? I don't have money to a good doctor!

I want to share a cool story - so my teammate dislocated her wrist. She was out for the whole competition season, but she competed on floor and beam. She did a RO back tuck with a one-handed RO, and a front tuck or ariel (I can't remember.) On beam, she did a one handed cartwheel and a free...

Does anyone wear tiger paws on beam? Does it work okay? Would love to hear any experiences. Thanks!
