Hey everyone, let me introduce myself by saying that I have been using this website for years but just finally got around to posting my first thread! Iv e always relied on this site for advice on supplements and training as well.
3 months ago I injured my wrist due to shoulder pressing 275 on seated BB, which i initially noticed a few days after. I maxed at one rep which I put up with no problem but began to see the consequences 2 days later. I had the same injury last year from the same BB seated military press, which motivated me to start using wrist wraps, and after taking a month off i was cured. However, this current issue has been bothering me for 3 months and although it has subsided significantly, I can still feel discomfort and am scared to enter the gym again because i do not want to re-injure it. Initially, i believed the problem was tendonitis, but after seeing an ortho it was suggested that it was a ligament injury which he attributed to years of heavy lifting. I got X rays and they revealed that my bones were fine. I have been lifting since i was 15, and am now 21. My workout regimen for those years consisted of lifting very heavy for size and strength, but it was always monitored and i was always cautious and knowledgable. I do not truly believe that this injury is a result of heavy lifting for years but due to being prone and having reinjured my wrists from the same motion due to excessive weight in order to push out a max. I have always been smart about lifting and do not know what possessed me to max out even though at the time it seemed that it was not an issue.
I am currently taking:
Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM 4 pills 2x a day
Ligaplex II 3 pills 3x a day
Min-Tran 4 pills 2x a day
Catalyn 4 pills 2x a day
It seems as though my injury has developed into a chronic injury and I am trying to do anything possible to heal myself and return to the gym. I have been doing research on other supplements and have looked at supercissus RX. Would anyone recommend this for my situation? Not lifting for three months has been killing me and i cannot wait to go back. Aside from resting i do not know what else to do. Please give me feedback. I appreciate ANY advice concerning my situation. THanks again.
