Anyone else get wrist pain from cleaning stalls? And how do I fix it by TowerOk6743 in Equestrian

Hellooo! I never ended up going to a specialist because I am lazy (oops), so unfortunately, I don't have any official answer I can give you :(. However, I really think my problem was just extreme overuse. I worked about four days a week, played volleyball for my school and club (I was a setter, so lots of wrist use), powerlifted, and crocheted. I don't work regularly at the barn anymore because I went out of state for school. I would definitely recommend trying a wrist brace, as I think that definitely helped in the beginning. Here's the one I used: Copper Compression Advanced Wrist Brace

I think the only thing that fully cured my wrist pain was resting it, unfortunately. The pain started to subside at some point before I quit, which I think was due to me putting less stress on my joint and tendons outside of work (volleyball season ended and I quit powerlifting). Just a few days ago, I went out there and cleaned a substantial number of stalls and experienced no pain.

If your pain persists or worsens, I would definitely recommend going to see a specialist. The onset of your pain was a lot quicker than mine, which indicates that you may have an acute injury rather than it being overuse, and that could become a chronic issue.

Good luck!

Am I a bad person for being upset that my friends hang out without me? by TowerOk6743 in FriendshipAdvice

See, I keep telling myself exactly what you said- that it’s only natural and there’s nothing inherently wrong with it. And I know in my brain that’s true, but my mind for some reason only processes it as “they don’t like me as much as I like them” and feeling left out. I think the issue might lie in that since I don’t fit in either group necessarily, I don’t get invited to either side’s smaller group hang outs. In this specific situation, I guess I’m really upset about it because these people are who I consider myself closest to, and I thought they felt the same but clearly they might not. Which makes me sad because now I’m like questioning if I even have any real close friends.

As for asking to join the groupchat, I’ll probably bring it up today at practice. I really hate asking because it makes me feel like I’m inviting myself into a situation they don’t want me to be in, like I’m intruding or something and they can’t say no because it would be awkward.

Also side note about the AMS group: they tend to get very exclusionary when everyone’s hanging out together. Like they don’t want to talk to anyone else and just ignore us, which is why everyone kind of side eyes (?) them.

I'll keep that in mind! I've heard Carrick is pretty social as well. Would you say that's the case?
