She retired last fall. She was 14 at the time too. After over a year of working on one and no handed skills she decided it was too hard on her body. I think it was hard for her to let go, but she is happy now doing pom at her school. Her wrist still bothers her some. She doesn't do much...

I am sorry your daughter is going through all of this. Mine was originally diagnosed with gymnast wrist. After the fracture was healed she continued to have pain and was eventually diagnosed with a partial scapholunate ligament tear and full TFCC tear. It was a really long road and I won't go...

My daughter has been twice. They are coached by both the OU coaches and gymnasts. From what I have seen, the OU coaches are the ones who do most spotting (seems like they were the ones on bars and vault). Don't take my word on this, as the last time my daughter went, she was injured and...

You Tube has a floor music version of this. Will they let you use that?

My daughter had OCD in her elbow. She was out for several months and when she came back she had some terrible back pain. Went to the DR and she just had strain in her back muscles from using them again. I would get it checked but it could definitely be that since your daughter has been out so...

Sadly we have too much experience with this. Mine had growth plate stress fracture confirmed on MRI. After about 9 weeks of immobilization, she continued to have pain and eventually had a contrast MRI and ended up with a complete tear of her TFCC ligament and a partial tear of her scapholunate...

OCD can take a lot of time and patience to heal. Your MRI will give your doctor a better idea of your healing, but conservative treatment can take many many months. My daughter had it in her elbow. She had surgery and was completely off of her arm for 3 months after and then took another few...

Thanks for the input! You all have given us some things to think about......

Oh we aren't sure yet. When she had OCD in her elbow she could. She has been out the past 4 months with a stress fracture in her growth plate and (unknown to us until surgery last week) 2 torn ligaments in her wrist. Up until surgery she could. But we have not had this conversation with her...

That's what I am wondering. I can't see her needing a roundoff unless she has to go backwards like on beam (must go forward/sideways and backwards).

So my daughter will most likely be non weight bearing on her arm for up to 8 months. It's her lead arm, so one arm skills are pretty wonky for her. She would be working to compete level 8 this year. Floor is probably the only event she can do no handed. What are some passes she could do to meet...

Trust me I know! I asked her again yesterday. Now that she has had surgery and is feeling that pain she can't believe she competed on it. She said she knows right before state it hurt really bad on beam bhs so much that her wrist would give it on her, but she cannot think of a time one...

Oh wow. That sounds like a crazy odd injury! I am glad they finally figured it out. Thank you for that advice! We have seen the bad days before and that is helpful to focus on what she can do. She is good about making some goals that she can achieve, so having a focus on what she can work...

Wow buttercup, sounds like a long recovery for sure. Why ended up being your son's diagnosis? I hope to get a better idea of her recovery path at her appointment in 10 days. I know she will have a cast for 6-8 weeks. Then up to 8 months out past that. Thanks for the encouragement. She is tough...

No idea! Her doctor keeps asking too. She started working bhs again in Dec/Jan again after her OCD surgery. By March she would complain that her wrist hurt really bad on bhs mostly on beam and had cut back on even practicing them. None of us can recall one certain day that the pain got worse...
