A member asked:
Can you tell me: are wrist injuries common in yoga?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wrist: Wrist injuries are not common in yoga, because in general, there are not many injuries related to yoga. The reason behind this is due to the low impact/contact nature of yoga as a practice, as well as the ability of yoga to accommodate a person at any level they are (beginners to yogi's). Enjoy!

I've noticed that the meaty area of the thumb (a little toward the palm moving down toward the wrist) gets sore sometimes - often for a week. Then goes away. But it's painful. Like I can't do yoga or anything. I do use my phone a lot. What is this?
