Weird poping in my wrist.

[Shredder]

Hello everyone, I have this weird poping in my left wrist. I think it is a old snowboarding injury that I didnt notice. There is no pain its just when I am coming on the down swing is when I feel the poping which is a weird feeling. btw, I am right handed.

Should I go to the doctor to see if it is fixable? or is there a exercise I can do to help it? I have been playing guitar for a long time too and maybe that is a problem..lol..

Any suggestions?

I love golf and only been involve for almost a month..

Thanks for the help.

Hi Shredder (play guitar, do you?)

I've got the same kind of thing - a 'knock' in my lead wrist... uncomfortable, and only shows up when I hold the club a certain way.


Unfortunately, my solution was to alter my grip (and subsequently, my swing) a little to allow for a free movement of my wrist.

Hi Lowpost!

Thank you for the quick advice! I will experiment and see if I can alter my position a little bit.


Thanks again!

Witrh medical issues, ALWAYS consult a physician - who knows what it could be (and I don't think too many of us here are MDs!!!)

Are you saying doctor's don't golf?!

Hi Shredder,

Face it, as we grow older, we become more injury prone and they take longer to heal. I still experience several "poppings" like yours, dating back to football & karate injuries several years ago. The doc says there's nothing to really worry about.

Hope its the same with you.
