wrist joint popping problem

[homedog90]

for the past 2 months, my left wrist has been bothering me.. whenever i move my wrist from the joint sideways, it makes a popping noise, kinda like the wrist bone gets in the way of the movement, sounds like a little friction. anyway whenver it does this, it makes a poppin noise. sometimes it can hurt pretty bad.. i tried to move my right wrist sideways and it does it perfectly, with no popping, friction, or bone gettin in the way...

this effects my bench press when im going down, cuz i kinda lose my strength in my left wrist so then the bar feels uneven, and it tips...

anyone know what im talkin about? should i get this checked by a doc or should i do something about it.. thanks

yeah it happened to me before, mostly during curls. Once ur forearms build up it should get better. In the mean time, make sure you are using proper form and maybe even consider using wrist straps.

dude i had that same problem i went to the doc and got an x-ray the two bones in my forearm where it meets my hand had been chipped a little and the two bones were more apart than normal try not to use that hand and no working out till its fully healed took me bout 3 weeks

[homedog90]

hmm what do wrists straps do?

anymore suggestions? thanks

Wrist straps stop you're wrist from bending a lot while curling or benching or anything that involves you're hands. Or you could just tape up you're wrist before lifting, that should decrease the movement of you're wrist.

Is this an on going problem which happens even after an proper warm up for that joint? if yes, you should probably have a doctor check it out.

If youre going to use straps I'd suggest using straps on both wrists to make sure one forearm doesnt become stronger than the other.

id leave it for a few weeks and rest i had problems with my left wrist recently, just getin better now, for about 2months it would ache all the time wen i satrted liftin then after a wile of this it would start becoming quite painful, in the end it just went and i could hardly move it let alone lift anyfing, i was out for nearly 6weeks before i could go bak, your best bet is to rest for a few weeks beore the problem gets worse, ovawise u could end up being out for a whole lot longer

[flapjackson]

when i did upright rows, my wrists always used to pop out but i would keep going through it haha.
but as ive gotten more muscle and strength, the problem has pretty much stopped

I have exactly the same problem at the moment, but i don't think i described the problem well enough for people to help me when i posted on here a few weeks ago. My left wrist pops a lot more than my right, and gives me problems when doing barbell curls especially. My knees seem to pop out of place aswell and it hurts when i pop them back into place, but once they're there im fine

[bubujone35]

i also have a similar problem with my left wrist, however it doesnt pop. just when doing certain excersies such as dumbell curls, my left wrist would start to hurt. also when doing db military press my left wrist has trouble staying stable when i use heavier weights. this causes the db to become unstable and uneven. its starting to piss me off alot because its holding me back from doing heavier weights which my right wrist has no problem doing.

im hoping after awhile it just goes away as my strength grows, if not im going to buy some wrist straps or something like that

You're talking about wrist wraps. Wrist straps make it so you dont have to worry about losing your grip on the bar.

i bought this wrist STrap today, i got one for my left hand only, when i wear, it basically makes my wrist not move around as much, i tried doin pushups with them and it felt like i was doin em without the strap. then again my wrist doesnt hurt when im doin pushups. it usually only hurts when im doin wrist curls and reverse wrist curls... i can also get out school sports trainer to just wrap up my left wrist everyday when i lift> what do u guys think?

when do u think this will go away? maybe i should go get an MRI to see if my bones are jacked up or not

[homedog90]

bump,, read above

[northernLad1]

I first did my wrist in doing barbell curls, rested for a week and then screwed it up again doing reverse EZ bar curls. I'm seriously considering going to see a doctor as i can't see the problem just going away by itself

How did you get rid of it? With supplements, rest.....?

[homedog90]

alright so todays workout routine for me was chest and tris,

fisrt, i did bench press, my wrist was fine
second, i did triceps pulldowns (pull the bar down), my wrist KILLED, i had to stop
third, to make up for the pulldowns, i did skull crushes on the bench, my wrist was fine
fourth, i did dumbell press, my wrist killed, i had to stop
fifth, i did pushups, wrist was fine

so i guess its only when i have alot of weight on it, i guess it didnt hurt for bench press cuz i had good form where my wrist didnt pop out. the pulldowns were weird feeling and the dumbell press had lot of weight on my wrists.

any more suggestions? im defeintely goin to go get a mri sometime this week

the sports trainer wrapped up my wrist before workout then iced it down after

[northernLad1]

Doesn't sound too good. How does you wrist cope with BB or Db curls, because that is the one exercise that provides total agony for me.
Good luck and keep us updated on how everything goes

[homedog90]

alright well today was my biceps/back day

the only exercise that hurt was bicep curls with an easy bar, it hurt a little bit but i think the pain wasnt as bad as yesterday. i iced it down when i was finsihed with my workout.. it appears i cant bend my left wrist back straight. it comes in sideways. my right side comes in near-straigth.. that might be a problem

any other suggestions? thanks

I'd recommend taking two weeks off of no lifting at all, and if its not better after that period see a doctor and get some x-rays. You dont want to aggravate it.

[Chino.]

My wrist is pretty agravated right now, but I just took two weeks off and it still is somewhat sore. I don't notice it TOO much while lifting althought it does hurt, same with hockey it feels fine 90% of the time. I'm hoping to strengthen it which is probably stupid, but I'm taking glucosamine and about 30g of efas a day now so hopefully it will even out the lifting.

[homedog90]

hmm i dont really want to or think i need to take 2 weeks off of lifting, i mean its not that bad. but i am going to get an mri on it

Have you had the MRI yet?

[Frank_69]

i ****ed my left wrist while playing the game 'mercy' where basically you just try to hurt the other guys hand.
Ever since then, my left wrist has been totally ****ed. I cant do barbell curls, or dumbbell curls without bad pain, so im stuck doing heavy hammer curls for my bicep workout. Every other exercise its fine. Its been 5months since then and it still hasnt healed im starting to get a little worried.

[east football]

all i can say is, that when your benching, make sure you dont bend your wrists and rest the weight all on your wrists, when i did this i got pain like you are discribing.

Sorry to necro a thread but it sounds like this person has the same problem that I have had with my wrist since I can remember. Wear wrist straps or even better, weight lifting gloves. If you notice it doesn't pop when you do push ups or certain other intensive wrist using workouts, but when you try to get that "pump" and are doing overhead or bench pressing with weights, gravity is forcing it onto that part of your body and you get a POP sound. Mine is on the inside of my right wrist, it doesn't hurt, but if I don't wear gloves with wrist straps, I will get the pop. Also to note, only my dominant hand has it.
