4 weeks out on my sprained wrist and I can almost do a push up without pain. A simple fractured wrist would have felt fine at least a week ago

tendons are slow, bones are faster

Blood flow is the issue, bones get more because structurally they must have that blood flow, tendons don’t and it’s blood that carries all the healing stuffs. To heal tendons you have to push them and aggravate them a bit just to get the blood to flow to them, super annoying

Yeah goofed up my it band and it's been shocking how slowly it progresses. Just barely getting back to walking without pain after several weeks.

Rest is not how you heal, rest is how you guarantee difficult scar tissue and unaligned fibers. The best healing come when you get immediately back into it and drive blood flow.

Do you rest properly yet 😬 - you always restarted to soon and aggravated injuries historically

How long has it been? I don’t understand why doctors still give out cortisone shots, they actually prevent the thing they claim to assist with. Once supposedly isn’t an issue, but repeatedly they impact collagen synthesis and other important healing functions

I tore three ligaments in my right wrist and it’s been awful healing up I had a cortisone injection and still painful one thing I may suggest is one of those gyroscope things that help strengthen it and a soft ball to squeeze, the rehab is so important
