https://community.usms.org/swimming/f/general/12487/injury-hoping-it-doesn-t-mess-up-my-swimmingHi all, After a run during which I tripped and fell, hurting wrist and knee, I had a lovely open water swim (about 2400m, topping off the weekend total to about 12k--doubled this a.m.), but did feel some discomfort in my wrist. I chalked it up to theen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.usms.org/thread/198830?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 14 Jun 2016 04:35:32 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:e05a9e5d-3327-4d57-b92b-3657267a76f3Elaine KrugmanDon&#39;t over do it and cause long term injury to the wrist! A brace seems as if it would help in holding weakened parts. Dry land , without that wrist might be a good idea for a while. Good luck. Good advice, Orca!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/198826?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 14 Jun 2016 03:41:29 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:14a1a29d-d908-4418-93fc-e6e04586158aFindingMyInnerFishI noticed that it helped to put on an arm warmer wet w/ cold water. I don&#39;t wear arm warmers to run, so I&#39;m glad I found a use for one of a pair I received some time ago as an award. :)<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/198722?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 13 Jun 2016 16:00:01 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:e4147c99-4eec-4bd4-bb69-56e18c946e3dFormer MemberSoak your wrist in icewater, a minute or so at a time, a dozen times a day, while gradually moving your hand in different positions. Dry and keep comfortable at room temperature in between. Don&#39;t use heat as that weakens the tissues.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/198802?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 13 Jun 2016 11:16:11 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:0124a6ec-59d3-487b-8f30-91de929498a9orca1946Don&#39;t over do it and cause long term injury to the wrist!

Just did the cold water treatment before leaving for. ...you guessed it. ... swim practice! But it remains to be seen how much I&#39;ll be able to do. Is it normal to feel sluggish? I just hurt wrist, not my whole body! The Dr prescribed an x-ray and gave me a tetanus shot just to be safe. I worry about missing training. But then too I have to think of the long term. Meanwhile it does me good to see my swim buds!

I got a waterproof wrist brace and swam with it for about a month and was OK after that. This was with a sprain, if you have something else that may not work.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
