Bilateral Wrist Pain

Have you been evaluated for tendinitis? I have chronic tendinitis in my right wrist and your description matches what I deal with during flare ups. One of the reasons I never do yoga with regularity is because I can't support much weight on my wrist, even when keeping it straight and certainly not while bent.

I have issues with both my wrists, though not to the extent of yours. Mine are along the lines of carpal tunnel and De Quervain's tenosynovitis ("mummy thumb"). My mother has an osteoarthritis diagnosis so I have a feeling that's in my future too. She has tried so many things over the years but had consistently bad issues, mostly with her knees & feet. At some point last year, after suffering for the few years before and taking all the meds the doctors prescribed that provided little to no relief, she was researching supplements and started taking a red krill oil and a multi with glucosamine, chondroitin & turmeric - it has made the world of difference to her joints; she's almost 60 but now moves more like a 50 year old.
So I thought, instead of taking Voltaren for the inflammation that I know is causing my issues, surely I'm better off taking these natural supplements. I only started them a week or so ago, and it's honestly like I don't have any wrist issues at all! I didn't expect it to work as well as it has, but here I am singing the praises!

I'm not sure if this is relevant for you or not, but I thought it might at least be worth looking into for you. Best of luck!

May I ask what brand? I tried to google but just got ads, no information.

I don’t remember them, or I’d tell you, but there are some EASY, easy ones. A yoga teacher started me on them years ago. The first few were so easy that I used them only as warmups for the next ones. It was a series of 7 or 8 I think, then just start doing regular yoga things.
One of the first ones is just rub your fingers, one at a time, to warm them up for exercise, one is kind of like prayer hands, then push wrists down, like opposite of prayer hands. Hold each stretch for 3 slow breaths.

Ganglion cyst! I have one on the inside of my right wrist. It can't be drained, because it's too close to major arteries. I've been putting pressure on it to see if the stuff inside will go leak out on it's own. Anyone else have this experience? It's painful.
