    wrist injury from dirt bike riding

    well, labor day the family had a barbecue and i learned how to ride a dirt bike, it was a honda 250. big mutha trucka. i have never riden one before and i was able to learn within 5 minutes. i tried going down a huge hill at 40 and ate it hard. all i had was a helmet. the only injury i recieved is my left forearm got seriously tore up( mostly road rash) and my right wrist is a little sprained. it doesnt hurt too bad today, because i havent been lifting since monday, im just letting it rest. its getting better by me icing it.

    i want to start my new split and start training again on monday. that would be one week from the injury. like i said it feels ok, i can turn it and move it around a lot better than i could monday. my question is would it be alright to still lift even if it hasnt recovered but it feels really good? or should i just keep taking more weeks off. i dont want to lose what muscle i have gained and i didnt really need to take a week off from training as it is. any suggestions?

    I think if you can train it without any pain, then you should be fine. Don't push it if you suffer pain though. If the pain persists for longer than a couple more days, you may want to consider going to a sports doctor.

    If in doubt, take time off. It is better to take a little time off than to re-injure yourself and have to take much longer off in the end.

    Uh ... maybe not so much.
    there is more to riding a bike than figuring out how to start it and where the brakes and shifters are. It may take you another 15 ... even 20 minutes.

    Wrist pain has been my worst problem to date, I might take more time off but that is something you have to learn to make decisions on based on what your body is telling you.

    And by the time you are old enough perhaps to put the ego aside, you will always need extra time off because you will always be hurting after these little escapades.

    Good luck
