    Parents To retire or not to retire...

    This is so true. I have a 9th grader, struggling through one last year of gym (wrist issues). She will continue through May but next year as a Sophmore she will not have an activity. She will not be able to participate in any school sports as just too far behind in a very competitive district...

    Parents Supplements

    Response to above on brand of turmeric....it is nothing fancy or hard to find...just store bought. It is Okinawa triple turmeric with the black pepper extract which apparently aids in absorption and helps it work.

    Mine has had horrible wrist issues for about 5 months now. Have done all the medical stuff to ensure no major issues but just was not getting better very quickly. Even after taking a full 3 months off was still having issues. I finally put her on some tumeric for inflammation purposes as well...

    WAG Gymnast wrist

    Mine needed a good 4-5 weeks off. And despite this is now having some issues in her other wrist just 3 weeks after resuming. She's taking a few more days to rest wrists and bracing, icing, and doing wrist exercises. Hopefully will catch it early unlike our last time. I've read some cases...

    Parents Wrist support under grips

    May have to ask her to try that or better yet... Get the coaches to have her do it because when I ask if that would help I get 'the look'.

    Parents Wrist support under grips

    Anyone have thoughts or product recommendations for supporting the wrists under grips? Obviously tiger paws not an option. Do most kids just tape if needed?

    This is my fear... That it's actually worse than thought or that an injury is hiding and not seen on x-ray. Here's to complete healing for them both!

    Thank you! Definitely good advice. She's definitely taking a month regardless even though doc initially said a week or two. Just my gut in it needing more based on her pain level. And then she'll take more if needed.

    She's been working a lot on bars trying to get a cast to handstand. I think this is what did it. She does wear tiger paws but obviously not on bars. Did your DD do anything special on bars to help? Definitely ready to work on her wrist flexibility and strength once she's pain free...

    Parents Gymnast wrist experience

    Thank you.. Good info. Mine does fairly low hours (14-16) and is comparable to a level 6ish but almost 14 and tall for a gymnast so her body takes it hard. Next season will probably be her last so want to get her healthy so she can rock it next season and end positively if she chooses to be done.

    So the adjustments... Are they whole body or just in her wrist area? And guessing since casted couldn't do any wrist strengthening till out of cast. But she did afterwards? Will see where we are in a few weeks and thinking of looking into scheduling pt as she won't do pt on her own or because...

    Parents Gymnast wrist experience

    So my gymmie is ending her season on a down note. Has had intermittent pain in wrists for a few months but always mild and tolerable. Something changed last week and now she can't even do a handstand or support on bars without pain. So we went to doc and x-rays fine so got the gymnast wrist...

    WAG not working to potential?

    Wow.. She's well past silver. That's ridiculous. I'd be demotivated if I were her also!

    WAG A new chapter in the journey of Puma Jr:USAIGC

    Best of luck. Sounds like the excitement is back for her and that's got to make it all worthwhile. Hope she has a great meet and loves her new coaches and teammates

    Parents Sore tailbone?

    Gotcha. I thought the spondio stuff someone mentioned hit at earlier ages. But stress fracture I do know definitely can be any age. Will get her checked out for sure if the pain continues. Thank you!

    Parents Sore tailbone?

    Thank you. Good to know. I had Google this and read of similar cases. Definitely keeping an eye on it. She's 13 and past the major growth spurt by 2 years but still leary
