Medical
-try to find the cause/exact problem
-doctor, chiropractor
Safety
-use a brace
-keep wrist straight when exercising
(use barbells when doing dips. Also use a more firm surface than bench cushion)
-use methods that don't involve injured area.
-don't work through pain. Allow injuries to heal. (Rest Ice Compression Elevation)
Musclar option
-light stretching techniques
-strengthen the forearm and any muscles surrounding the injury. (they have to compensate for the loss of support in the injured area)
-massage/ointments (ask pharmacist) But caution; never massage a joint that is inflamed.
-usually heat wraps before exercise and cold afterward. (both are used to treat pain)
Mental
-negative self talk can worsen pain. Continue to be happy and positive in reference to yourself and your situation if possible.
-be aware of triggers. When is the pain caused? There's usually another option to your goal.
