I have been boxing for almost 5 years now but only recently my left wrist started to hurt really bad every time I throw my left hook. However the pain in my wrist is much less when I throw the left hook with an horizontal fist, meaning with the thumb down, but i'm not used to that and it feels awkward to throw it that way.
I'm an in-fighter I rely on heavily on hooks and my straight punches simply suck.
Should I stop boxing for a couple months or continue training but not throw any left hooks.
You are just a *****. Take some Ibuprofen and be a big boy.
Do you think my 6 week lay off of doing nothing is long enough for my wrist to heal? I also had 2 weeks of training before that immediately after my injury but did not throw hooks so it is more like 8 1/2 weeks.
I would work very light when coming back and gradually increase your workrate.
