So a few weeks ago I tried to hold on to an iffy jerk and it sat too far back in my hand at the top. My left wrist started feeling slightly painful. It actually wasn't that bad so I trained through the pain over the next couple of weeks, using wraps and taking ibuprofen when I needed to. Unfortunately it didn't get better, and actually got more painful over the last couple of weeks. I've since stopped going overhead and did mostly pulls and continued to work on strength and mobility.
My friend, a chiropractor, looked at my wrist and noticed that the entire chain from my forearms all the way to my traps and shoulders were all super tight, which required me to put my wrist in compromising situations to secure stuff overhead. I've since started to focus on really mobilizing that area so that when I start training again, I'll be a lot more stable and less prone to injury.
Before stopping weightlifting I hit a 305lb/138kg C&J pr, which finally brings my training PRs to over 250kg.
sorry to hear about your wrist. i've been trying to get more mobility in recently as well to get my shoulders in a better position when going overhead.
