My right wrist and I are not so happy with each other, right now. I'm not quite sure what happened... last weekend I was at [livejournal.com profile] crs's wedding, teaching beginners acro and holding them on my hands in floating paschi with no problem. Sunday I did nothing but knit an unusual amount, which may have been the problem (even though knitting's never hurt my wrist before, it can tighten up the forearms). Monday my wrist hurt, but I did handstand class anyway, which was definitely unwise. Tuesday, all pain all the time.

Bleh. I iced it, and ultrasounded the forearm, and mostly rested for 3 days while [livejournal.com profile] apfelsingail was here. It seemed reasonable, but, have I mentioned I hate the results of resting? I just get sore in a different way than usual. So not worth it.

Yesterday was the first day of a weekend acro training thing -- despite sitting out all the handstands (sigh), the wrist felt better just from getting some blood flowing to it. Also, I found out that pushups are still okay (especially fingertip pushups), down dog is okay, even a half-handstand with feet on the wall is almost okay. Pullups are great. So the only thing I can't do is have my wrist bent backward AND have a full half-body-weight on it. (Handstands, and basing certain acro tricks.)

My plan is to do cardio every day between now and when it's better. Blood flow is good for healing. Sticking my forearm in a folded-over heating pad last night felt good, too... I've now got the tight forearm muscle that's attached to the angry tendon, plus the opposite one that's pulling back against the first one.
