    WAG Three weeks wrist cast, five weeks until states

    My poor unlucky girl injured the growth plate in her wrist and thumb at a meet Saturday. Now she is three weeks in a wrist and thumb cast, five weeks until states. Coach, Dr. (who is hand specialist for our local college team), and DD all think she will compete at states. 12 yo L. 8. She had...

    WAG Wrist pain after injury

    Hi, does anyone have experience with prolong wrist pain after a stress reaction in the wrist. My daughter hurt her wrist 8 weeks ago and it was confirmed a stress reaction via MRI. She still is not back in Gym because she is still having wrist pain while tumbling and doing anything that...

    Parents Finally some answers- wrist injury

    You may have seen some of my posts about my DD's wrist injury. It started in March with some pretty bad pain in her wrist mostly on BHS. She worked through it to get to state and I let her as she had already sat out 6+ months with OCD in her elbow last year (same arm!). Took her to the ortho...

    WAG Wrist support rubbing

    Hi everyone I'm a beginner adult gymnast and I've just had some panda paws (tiger paws) wrist supports as I have a ganglion cyst. The problem I have is they rub terribly against my knuckles. Does anyone know how I can prevent this? Thanks

    Parents Wrist injury

    I did do a search, but I also decided to start a new thread to ask for any insights regarding gymnast wrist. You can PM me or respond here. My daughter just got an X-ray this week and the results show widening at the growth place of the distal radius, and possibly a fracture. She’s going to get...

    Parents Wrist bands for tiny wrists

    Has anybody found a specific wrist band for under grips that works well for exceptionally tiny wrists? My daughter is a level 5 gymnast, but is TINY.....she's only 63lbs and any wrist bands I've found thus far just slide around on her wrists. She prefers longer ones for strap bar. Any...

    WAG Best Wrist Supports

    When DD got gymnast wrist the first time, because it was mild and the gym disapproved, we didn't put her in supports. Big mistake bc of course it came back and was worse. So I think out of guilt, I went and researched and bought every support out there to see what worked best for her and what...

    MAG spray on wrists?

    OK, before rings the US men sprayed something on their wrists before putting their grips on. It appears they also tape their wrists under their wrist guards and grips too. Any idea what they sprayed on their wrists?

    Parents End stages of gymnast wrist question

    I posted before when DD was diagnosed about 7 weeks ago. We went back to the orthopedist for our follow up. X-rays were great - in fact better than dr had expected. He says X-rays are often the last thing to show improvement but on hers there was noticeable narrowing of the gap between growth...

    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?

    MAG WRIST INJURY!!! HELP!

    Hi! I got a wrist injury from attempts of doing a 1-hand stand! and now, I can't push with my right hand, as the pain doesn't seem to go away! It's been months, and I don't know what kind of doctor must I go to? Can I heal this myself? I don't have money to a good doctor!

    WAG Competing with a dislocated wrist

    I want to share a cool story - so my teammate dislocated her wrist. She was out for the whole competition season, but she competed on floor and beam. She did a RO back tuck with a one-handed RO, and a front tuck or ariel (I can't remember.) On beam, she did a one handed cartwheel and a free...
