Motorcycle ride in right wrist injury
Hi,
I got my right wrist injured some 3 months back. In xray nothing was seen, hence i was asked to rest and do some home remedies. My pain has reduced some 70% but i still have pain when i twist my wrist upwards.
Is it fine if i go on a motorcycle ride for 15 days long, covering more than 2000km ? Or shall i drop the plan if its gonna worsen my wrist condition.
Please suggest !
Pain persisting even after three months post injury cannot be taken lightly. Expert opinion of local orthopaedic surgeon very much required .You are too young to leave with compromised wrist for rest of your life.MRI may be helpful but in consultation with orthopaedic surgeon.

If pain is still present, it may be due to soft tissue strain /injury.
If pain is persistent and hurting you, you should get one MRI study to rule out any major injury if soft tissue.
If it comes out to be normal, you can definitely travel on bike with all due precautions.
If there is a significant injury seen in MRI better to avoid ping travel on bike as it may worsen the injury..
Next Steps
Apply crepe bandage, start hot fomentation, take analgesic SOS for pain relief.
Health Tips
Avoid heavy weight lifting, avoid jerky movements of wrist till everything is confirmed
