Yesterday morning I was doing my "A" workout from 5x5 and during the bench presses developed a pain in my right wrist (and being a stupid man ignored it until I had finished). It was quite bad during the course of yesterday whenever I tried to grip anything and I need to keep the wrist very straight to avoid any sharp pains.

Today it's a lot better but still with the same sharp pain when I need to grip anything tight. I've tried a few stretches and some ice treatment to help it along (notably more tightness on that wrist, unsurprisingly).

Any thoughts on anything else I should be doing (or not doing) to ensure this recovers as soon as possible? I'll be looking at my grip on the BP as I think I'm letting that wrist bend too far back.

Maybe taking anti inflammatories may help but giving it some quiet time is whats needed.
