Wrist Injury
Posted: Mon Apr 01, 2013 11:55 am
For about two weeks I have had two different injuries to my left arm after moving up to a bigger pole. The first injury was to the back of my upper arm and was very strenous to vault on, I could still vault but it hurt when vaulting and lifting. I gave it a little time off and it healed up but after that I did something to my wrist. When I push back on my wrist it starts to hurt. My coach made me set up a doctors appointment to make sure it is nothing serious since I had a wrist injury several month ago. At rest my wrist is fine. I've been soaking my wrist in a Epsom salt solution for 30 minutes warm, 30 minutes ice water, 30 minutes warm water which seems to help.
I have a track meet today at my school. The vaulters competiting today are primarly freshman all under 6', so it would be an easy win today and I would score some points. Should I try to compete today since my wrist has loosened up with the hot/ice Epsom solution and I would only need to have a couple vaults or should I just stay off of it and wait until it's completlely healed? Thanks for any advice.
