Question re: wrist pain

[amyg]

When you guys say your wrists hurt when you're doing pushups, is that the same pain that I'm having at the base of my thumbs? I guess I'm confused...

...and planning on purchasing the perfect pushup handles... }(

I have pain at the base of my thumbs all the time - it's osteoarthritis. It's just something I live with and take glucosamine for, which helps. But it does affect my ability to do things like pushups and plank work and pikes! as well as I'd like. I generally have to stop and rest my wrists for a bit, then go again, so it doesn't stop me from doing the moves, it's just one of life's little inconveniences. x( I'm gonna try the perfect pushup handles too.
