Alright let’s first start off with the injury. I was doing standing shoulder press with dumbbells (60lb each hand) my left wrist collapsed where my knuckle bent all the way back to touch my forearm. It’s been two weeks and I went to the doctor right after it happened. He said nothing was wrong but I should take a little break.

It still hurts like no other, and i wear a brace all day and ice it every morning and night. im still taking another three weeks off before i attempt any upper body
How long of a break and are there any exercises I can do to prevent it from happening again?

I’m 16 years old btw.


And on a side notes, since amino acids promote muscle recovery, do they also promote bone recovery also?

The only other advice i have is take an anti inflammatory and up your calcium intake. feel better soon!

Are you going to have to go through any physical therapy? There really isn't anything you can do to speed up healing except rest. Just make sure you are staying healthy and taking your vitamins and getting enough sleep to ensure you don't get sick, which will slow down your healing.
