So in my usual way I’ve (tried) to leap back into riding after a lengthy spell off (a year or more). This, plus slightly more ‘mouse’ work in the office has, I think, resulted in wrist tendonosis which is proving very stubborn.
I’ve been using a brace, often couple with taping (dubious benefits I know) but it certainly doesn’t help on the bike.
Out on the road bike today and after an hour or so it was sore again, even with the brace.
None of the websites I noticed mentioned heat as a form of therapy, although they did mention eccentric exercise.
I’m dreading the inevitable months off the bike which may be the only solution, given that I’m only now getting faint glimmerings of my fitness back.
Anyone else had this?
(pain is on the opposite side of the wrist from the thumb, basically the underside if you were gripping a road STI lever)
