So, my left wrist is majorly F'd... I think I'm having some sort of raging tendonitis/carpal tunnel thing and it hurts like hell.  No upper body lifting at all until this is figured out and dealt with. I'll likely be seeing my doctor asap.  It's been hurting more and more after lifting sessions and today after my last set of military presses it hurt so bad I had to stop. I'm icing it down and taking anti-inflammatories for it in the mean time.

And I'm left handed. Bonus!
