Sprained Wrist, 2 Weeks Later
I sprained my right wrist two weeks and two days ago. It was a mild sprain, thankfully. Turns out I hurt my arm a little too, it ached when I was jogging. The wrist and arm are both much better, I would say about 90% recovered. At the gym last week I used the arm and hand for several exercises, but made sure to use a much lower weight than I usually would. It didn’t feel any worse after the lifting than before, so I don’t think I’m doing any harm to it by working it this way. As long as it continues to improve, I’ll continue to slowly add more weight as I feel comfortable. This situation has reinforced for me the benefits of including low weight/high rep sets in my workouts more often, since I feel I had just as good a workout this way as I was getting before I hurt my wrist.
