A member asked:
Is it safe to lift weights if you have had previous wrist injuries?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Risk of pain: Free weights are very stressful on the hands, wrists and elbows. I usually recommend using universal/nautilus or other machines that allow you to work your arm muscles by pushing your forearms against pads so you save your small joints.
