I sustained a wrist injury a couple of months ago while string bending - and it hasn't gone away. I even took ibuprofen and stopped playing for four days. I will say that it stops hurting when I play, this includes when I bend. But I'm having difficulty performing certain tasks at work when my left wrist gets hung up in a certain positions. Do any of you play with nagging wrist injuries? I'm considering laying off for a while, but know the decision would be a difficult one to stick to.

Sorry to hear about this trouble sad.gif

Are there maybe any light exercises on and off guitar that you could do to help with recovery?
Sometimes when my wrist hurts I would just stop playing what I am immediately and make a pause. Its important to stretch before playing for this reason and also to make pauses during long practice sessions. Some people are more prone to these problems then others. Also it is a good warning sign to check if your hands positioning is the most comfortable for you.

Hope you recover soon! smile.gif

Bogdan, can you please post a link with those old recovery exercises I did for GMC a few years ago? That one with the rolling wrists would be perfect for the situation, but I somehow can't find it sad.gif Thank you!
