Wrist pain and hand soreness

I was diagnosed with mild osteoarthritis in my hands from repetitive stress in both hands.  I additionally have been experiencing wrist pain mostly in wrist extension under load.  Eg pushups, scap shrugs, bridge poses tend to be uncomfortable.

any advice here?  (Aside from PT etc) I’ve done some work on a fist but wasn’t sure if this was better/worse than ground parallettes?

Hey Jaques, have you tried doing the supported movement on pbars? seems that neutral grip reduces the pain because the extension is reduced.

Thanks Alessandro,  I’ve started using a pair of dumbbells as pbars.  Definitely helps on wrists.

Another option is adjusting the surface under the palm so that the palm is higher than the fingers, this leads to less wrist extension. 

it can be a book of a couple of cm height placed under the first part of the palm.

Good thought.  Thanks again.
