Anyone had any experience with tendinitis?
I currently have tendinitis in my right wrist due to work, and this is an issue as I am a right handed leg spinner.
Any suggestions for what I could do to keep it under control? I currently play ultimate with it strapped, and had it strapped for nets today but can't really do that for matches, although I did manage to bowl a few proper googlies so maybe there is something good to come out of being crocked!
Thanks in advance.

I get this bad after 2 achille restructures, alternate hot and cold compress, pain killers, good strapping but ultimately nothing quite like rest to sort it out.

What do you do as a job for this to happen?

I would say from this then that you are potentially using equipment wrong or over working it. Rest Ice Compression and Elevation with lots of stretching (kneeling down hands on the floor palms down in front of you fingers pointing towards you) and small amount of strengthing, the less stress you put on your wrist the better it will feel.

However, i do know there are some more knowledgable chaps on here then me so maybe wait till you have a few opinions first

I suffered/suffer with tendinitis in my wrists occasionally.

For me, my symptoms are alleviated with a Powerball wrist exerciser thingy. 

But, it's prob worth checking out with a quack/physio before self/forum medicating

Yes RICE  helps but rest  is the key if you can

I spent a whole half term working overtime after a colleague fell off a roof which didn't help. My work involves a lot of jarring because I do the preparation which involves attacking carpets with a broom, as well as holding my wrist rigid for scrubbing walls and tables, which is what the nurse at Wycombe minor injuries unit said was the cause of the problem. I only got 4 days off over xmas so I was definitely overworked!

I suspected as much! Unfortunately i know how much it can hurt, above suggested was a powerball which works very well as well as i found improving my grip strength helped.

A way to do this was hold a dumbell in you hand with your forarm resting on your thigh, sitting down of course! And as you would do bicep curls do "wrist curls" let the dumbell fall to the floor and extend your fingers so your holding the dumbell with a limp wrist just in your finger tips, and curl back up towards you.



Start of small as always, light weight small reps and about 3/4 sets and work up slowly towards 10-12 reps, 5 sets, medium weight. And remember to stretch out before and after and ice and elevate for a small period after. This should hopefully help not only your pain but should put some more revs on those googlys!
