Few days ago was trowelling up and my wrist started aching, now can hardly rotate my wrist, when I do it sends a pain up the right side of my right wrist nearly to my elbow. When I push on the bone above my wrist feels really tender....anyone got any ideas...bought a tear to my eye trowelling up today

Tendonitis.........Ice packs and rest it(that's what a doc told me when I had it)....
Didn't rest it, ended up having 5.......that's right 5......cortisone injections, all on the same day!
Do yourself a favour mate, work smart, don't overtrowel, buy a spat of some sort, but for now.......rest it, @plasterman had a thread earlier about repetitive strain injuries.......now you can post on it....lol

It'll go after time, feels like it's never-ending but will eventually ease. I bought one of these about 10 years ago. My chiropractor used it on me so I went and bought one. Hand made in Canada I believe, great for loosening things up. I attach a bit of rope to handle and fire it up and down the back. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152079656307

Yes, I'm currently looking into yoga. Stretching etc is great, but a pounding into the muscles is good for aches too. Also like Thai massage. £15 for half hour over clothes. Before that I did go to a woman that had a setup at her home, doing the full Swedish thing, but had to walk past her husband in the lounge and up to a bedroom, felt a bit seedy as was a top off job, got a strong feeling he wasn't comfortable with it all, I wouldn't have been and I'm pretty liberal.
 
i swear by a trion z wristband, basically a modern take on a copper bracelet, with magnets in it, am 37 and i dont creak that much atm !!!!!
 
@Lodan might pay you to wear a wrist strap i do now and again
and good old pain killers see the doctor tell him plastering is your livleyhood
and you want the strongest pain killers he,s allowed to give you
this is what i do.
 
The point about overtrowelling is a good one. Being fairly new to the job you'll no doubt be giving it everything to show your skills off to customers etc. Rest it and your wrist will be stronger when you get back.
