Occasionally when I put alot of weight on a left hand sloper or jug, my wrist pulls out just a tiny bit.
It typically doesn't hurt, it just reduces the amount of weight I can put on the arm.
Yesterday I was bouldering and my wrist pulled out a couple of times, when I felt it hurting I stopped, but I think it was too late. I've had mild pain in the wrist since then and I can't put any weight on it (in a push-up position).
I plan on taking it easy w/ my left hand for a week.
When I start climbing again I'm thinking of taping my wrist up until it gets stronger.
Has anyone had a similar injury? Any experience with taping it up? Any advice on the best way to tape it?
Thanks
-Sam

Hopefully it's not a TFCC injury, but I had one and now always tape my wrists like this (two not-so-great pics follow):

The taping is done just above and just below the ulnar head to imitate the wristwidget brace method (google the term on images and you will see). I tape pretty tightly since tape does stretch as you move.

Well I use wrist tape in the gym when lifting heavy weights.. never used it in the climbing scenario as never needed but heres a link to a few ways you can wrap it up... but bear in mind.. use thin tape and not to tight..
